- the wonderful smell of a new baby
- the sweet coos and noises
- the first time they smile at you
- how they hold on to your finger so tightly
- how when they look at you, nothing else matters
- all the wonderful firsts (sitting up, first food, first step, first word,etc.)
Things I will not miss about the baby days:
- waking up every two hours
- being spit up on (sometimes in your mouth)
- bottles, bottles, bottles
- endless screaming that pierces your brain
The things I am looking forward to about her being 1:
- sippy cups:)
- bigger car seat (easier to get her in and out of)
- self feeding
- new words and new discoveries
- more independence (the classic " I do")
- running, playing at the park
- things I am sure I am not even aware of :)
I love every stage of childhood, yes even the teenagers, every stage has good and not so good things, but I get to experience it with them and I cherish every minute.
