When my number two hit toddlerhood, I swear the world lit up in technicolour! Every day held the promise of a new adventure and discovery - from finding frogs and hunting for bugs in the garden to his first successful attempt at using a fork and finally getting him to finish his Veggies with minimal fuss. Those were the days!

It's so heartwarming to look back on these milestones, they grow up way too fast!

Gosh, ya! totes agree, looking back at those milestones is so heartwarming and nostalgia! They do grow up way too fast; each stage has its unique challenges and magical moments which we cherish and remember fondly, doesn't it? I still recall the excitement of seeing my little one walk confidently without assistance after months of wobbly attempts - like a little penguin tottering around! LOL! It's a joyous ride, watching them explore and discover life!

I know right! All those milestones are like little time capsules that bring back such warm fuzzy feelings when you look back! And it's so true how each stage has its own unique challenges and cuteness - like teething! Man, that was quite something! But yeah, the first steps were super duper memorable! I was basically doing a happy dance seeing my tot stroll like a little pro after all that cute wobbling!

 
One memorable milestone was when my kid took their first steps! They'd been tottering around the furniture for a while, but one day I saw them walk right across the room to me. I felt so proud and excited; it was such a big moment after months of watching them figure out this whole walking thing.

First birthdays are such a huge milestone! Baking the first birthday cake, blowing up balloons in the living room and hoping the ceiling could take the weight... the excitement on the little one's face as all their favourite people sing happy birthday to them is so heartwarming. It's also a big moment for the parents too - you've kept a tiny human alive for an entire year!

Ah, the chaos of first birthdays! Blowing up balloons indoors can be risky business but the look on their faces makes it all worthwhile. And you're right, it's a huge relief for parents too - keeping a little human alive is no easy feat! It's a milestone worth celebrating for sure.

Balloons and birthdays are definitely a memorable combination! It's true, there's always that one special birthday where the child really grasps the concept and excitement of their big day. The look on their faces is priceless!

Gosh, I remember when my little one realized that birthdays meant presents and cake! She'd never quite grasped the concept before, but that year it finally clicked. Her eyes lit up like fireworks when we sang 'Happy Birthday' and she realized all the attention was for her. It was so cute!

 
One milestone that sticks out to me is when my little one said "mama" for the first time. It was such a simple word, but it held so much meaning and made my heart melt! I remember feeling incredibly touched and proud because I knew that she was slowly learning to verbalize her affection. It felt like a special bond between us, a secret language of love only we shared.

We tend to forget those tiny wins are actually huge deals and such a feel-good moment for parents!

Remember the time when they started trying to feed themselves; what a mess, but we were just so proud!

Another big moment was when she finally figured out how to walk without falling over. She'd been tottering around for months, but once she got the hang of it, there was no stopping her! She'd strut around like a little peacock, so proud of herself, and it was adorable. It felt like she grew up right before my eyes.
