First words, first steps, first teeth - all the big (and often messy/exhausting) milestones! Share your experiences here - how old were your little ones when they hit them? What was your favorite one so far and why? I'll go first - mine said 'mama' clearly for the first time a few days ago and it just melted my heart <3

That's so exciting! Hearing your baby say their first word is just magical, and "mama" is always extra special 😊 My little one said "dada" clearly for the first time a few weeks ago, which was adorable, but then never said it again lol - I think he knew it would get him attention! He's now 10 months old and also just started properly cruising around the furniture, so that's been a big milestone this week. I think my favorite one would have to be his first real laugh - there's nothing quite like hearing that happy, infectious giggle 🤩
 
It's so fun watching them figure out all these new skills! It's like they know what will get a reaction - like as soon as they figure it out, they never do it again lol! My daughter did the same with "mama." She said it clear as day one time and then never again for weeks! Now she says it all the time haha. That first laugh is the best - my little one gets so tickled when her big brother makes silly faces at her.

That's adorable! My son did the same with 'dada' - said it once and then clamped up for a good few weeks, it was like he knew how to get a reaction! The first time my little one rolled over was priceless too, now he's always rolling everywhere to get what he wants. They figure everything out so quickly, it's amazing to watch them grow xx

It really is amazing to witness the sheer curiosity and wonder that babies bring to everyday experiences. Their eyes take in everything so intently, like they're taking mental notes on the world around them. It's a non-stop learning journey for them right now, and it's fascinating to see how much their personalities develop alongside their physical and language skills. Life through their eyes truly is enchanting!
 
Babies are little sponges, soaking up all kinds of knowledge! Development milestones are incredible to witness, and you're right - it's amazing how much their personalities shine through even at such a young age. Their curiosity and wonder never cease to amaze parents and caregivers alike!
 
It's a fascinating period, isn't it? Their little minds are so absorbing and proactive; every new discovery helps them understand the world around them. And it's wonderful to observe their unique personalities emerging, giving each baby their own special flair! The curiosity, wonder and little discoveries are awe-worthy.
