You know you're a parent when...

You know you're a parent when... 

  • the baby makes "that" sound and you automatically hold your hand out to catch the spitup before it gets on everything.
  • you think prolonged baby vocalizations with no pitch or rhythm are the baby's way of singing.  Hey, it only occurs like that when I'm singing to her, ok?  I'm not really imaging things -- she is singing, ok?  either that or a very young music critic...
  • you can relax your body while holding a loud crying baby, even when that crying hits the magic pitch designed by evolution to be impossible to ignore, because the baby will cry more if it senses your tension.
  • runny rice cereal counts as "solid" food
  • you find yourself lost in their eyes
