[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]19:08 again.  Like you, I was also worried about missing our baby's "firsts."  What I've discovered from watching him and the other babies is that firsts are REALLY gradual, and there isn't a clear moment when he meets any new milestone.  He's been proto-crawling for weeks now, just gradually scooting better and better.  There isn't going to be a moment when he suddenly starts crawling, and I'm going to miss it.  The same is true for the older babies who have all started walking recently.

Our care providers asked me whether or not I wanted to know about DS's firsts. I said sure, but they said some parents don't even want to know about it so they can experience it for themselves (I guess hearing he'd already crawled at daycare would make it less exciting to see it at home?). I missed very few firsts. The only thing that comes to mind is the first time he was able to sit without support...when the daycare worker showed me (she was so excited!), he toppled over after 4 seconds. So like PP said, many things are gradual. And you will still be really excited the first time YOU see him do anything. [/quote]
