May 25 - 31

-------

So, I've finished my initial challenge to take a photo of something I'm grateful for every day. The year-long project ended up encompassing "4 weddings and a baby" - something we would not have envisaged nor realised had I not documented our daily lives over 366 days.

The day after I finished my mission, I felt lost. I kept taking photos of "little big things" happening in our lives out of habit, but what to do with them? Boy Wonderful and Gavstar asked me to keep going with my DailyPhlog, but I didn't want to fall into the trap of doing the same 'ol same 'ol. SO, after a lot of thinking and allowing ideas to present themselves to me, we've decided to continue with the DailyPhlog but in a different format. Instead of a photo-a-day, I'll be uploading 7 photos per week that describe something I've learned.

Starting with Sunday May 25, here is what I've learned this week.

I've learned that:

* Breast-feeding doesn't guarantee weight-loss. Nor does second-helpings of dessert
* Babies don't like needles
* Playing wii is very habit-forming
* Babies are like dominoes - set one off, they ALL start going off
* The best toy you can give a baby is your face
* Cattle find open gates and are happy to go through them
* A shower with baby is an excellent trust exercise
