"words of wisdom for the new mommy"

At our baby shower, all who wished were given the opportunity to write words of wisdom and advice on little keepsake cards.

We got many beautiful nuggets, like:
"love unconditionally"
"spend quality time with the greatest Teacher of all"
"be consistent"
"play, play, and stay close"
"trust your parental instincts"
"be prepared for new things"
"allow laughter to diffuse anger"
"never give your baby, even temporarily, to someone who doesn't have children"
"sleep when baby does"
"treat your child with respect"
"write down the adorable things they say"

Thanks to all of you who took the time to write something from your heart!

And then, from the grandparents:

What a wonderful day for you both! Stay calm, Keep a quiet heart, Surrender to God always, See through God's eyes. I love you and Marius and our baby Tristan so much.
Mom ~ Grandma ~ Grandmother ~ Nana Grace ~ Nanny Kate

And:

New Proverbs:
Neglect not the advice and counsel of your parents. They have walked this path before you.

Be mindful to sometimes leave your little one with his grandparents, as they need to remain proficient in baby talk skills.
Granddaddy Matthews

Now, how can I find a way to frame those for posterity?
