The challenges of parenthood...so far anyway

There are always going to be things we are unsure of as parents:

-When do I try to put Lily in her crib to sleep? I have tried and she screamed bloody murder. I can't take it. parent fail.
- How much should she be sleeping? Some nights its 4 hours straight, some its 2
-Why haven't I lost all my baby weight yet? It only took me 10 months to gain it all, why isn't it gone in 2? and Why am I so out of shape? ha!
- Why can't I get this baby on any kind of schedule?
- Did she just have an explosive poop out of her diaper and all over me? gross. this happens often.
-How can I balance my work life with my home life?
-What can I cook for dinner in 5 minutes?
-Shit- I haven't washed any clothes in 2 weeks. oops.
- Why won't she stop crying? See the vibrating bathtub made into a bed below :)
- Why do the makers of baby clothes all insist on making their  0-3 month clothes all different sizes?!?!
- And most frequently- have I brushed my teeth today? I cant even remember what I had for breakfast!
- Why won't she smile?! So serious all the time. I think I can count on one hand how many smiles I have seen out of that baby.

Let me just say that over the past 2 months there have been things I have caught myself saying things that
a. I never thought I would say and
b. I thought other people who said it were out of their minds

She has changed so much over the past almost 2 months! Here is some documentation:


(above: left: the closest I have gotten a photographed smile  right: call me maybe?)
(below: left: she likes her bumbo)
 

Here are some of my baby pictures vs. her.
Can you tell she's mine? The verdict is still out
(Please no fat jokes- I know I was a huge baby)
