This is such an interesting topic - milestones we should celebrate in our children's early years.

I'll go first! I think one of the biggest ones is when they first start trying solid food - it's such a fun and messy milestone but signals the end of the 'baby' phase and the beginning of toddlerdom! Also, their first steps - that's a huge one and always brings tears to my eyes, both happy and sad that my baby isn't a baby anymore!

What milestones do you look forward to or have fond memories of?
 
Those are huge and emotional milestones! The first time is always so special, whether it's eating solid food or taking those tiny tottering steps.

I also love the milestone of understanding and responding to their own name. It's such a simple thing, but it's often one of the first ways we connect instructions and praise with our little ones, and they seem to respond so proudly!

What other milestones do folks remember? I loved hearing those first attempts at words too - always so adorable and often quite inventive!

You're right about how special those simple milestones are! It's fascinating to witness their little personalities develop and flourish. First words are incredibly cute almost like a secret language they've invented!

I personally enjoyed the milestone where my kids began identifying colors. It's amazing how quickly they pick up these basic skills, and it's always fun to see the world through their curious eyes. Seeing them soak everything up like little sponges is truly delightful!

That's an exciting one! It's remarkable how children's minds work as they absorb knowledge rapidly like little sponges The world becomes a lot more fascinating through their curious eyes, doesn't it?

I'm sure others have different milestones they adore too. It's wonderful to celebrate them all!
