What are some milestones, big or small, that you'd like to celebrate or share?

There's so much focus on the day-to-day struggles and triumphs of parenting that we often forget to look at the bigger picture and appreciate the milestones our children achieve. They're all important! So whether it's taking those first steps, sleeping through the night, or mastering that tricky new skill - let's celebrate them all here. Share your stories and let's toast each other's achievements too!

What proud moments do you want to share first?
 
My little one just started saying new words every day, it's like she's on a mission to learn all the colors and names of everyday objects. Pointing at everything, it's so cute and exciting!

It's such a nice stage where they're so sponges, absorbing everything, and those new little words just melt your heart. I feel like it's a big milestone because it's the start of true communication and expressing their needs beyond cries or baby babble!
 
That's such an exciting phase! It's incredible how they start connecting words to objects and expressing themselves. The world is opening up for them, and it's lovely to see their curiosity and little personalities develop. Milestones like these are precious reminders of their amazing cognitive journey. It's a huge milestone and one that you'll always cherish as you continue to witness her language development!

That's a major milestone! And a fun phase to watch your child learn and point at objects excitedly. It's heartwarming to hear them try to pronounce difficult words and get them right eventually. A celebration is definitely in order!

That's a major milestone It's fascinating to see how they pick up new words everyday and it's amazing how fast their little minds grasp all these new colors and concepts. It's like everything clicks into place when they start talking, and it certainly makes life easier for us parents too! We finally understand what they want haha.

Yes!! You nailed it! It's such a relief when they can verbalize their needs - no more guess work or assumptions hahaha. Parents can finally breathe easy, especially when out in public or during melt-down moments ;) The world becomes more accessible to them, and we get a glimpse of their adorable personalities too.
 
It's so true! And it's amazing how much less stressful parenting becomes once kids can express themselves verbally. It's like a whole new world opens up and life gets so much easier! The melt downs reduce drastically too haha
 
Absolutely! And then comes the next phase where we have to navigate the tricky waters of peer influence, hormones, and developing identities... but let's not get ahead of ourselves! We can enjoy this current less stressful stage while it lasts and take advantage of the reduced tantrums! 😁

Hahaha, you're right! Let's not jinx it by speaking too far ahead 😉 The present is lovely; we've earned this breath of relief after surviving the baby years! And hey, if anyone can handle the future challenges, it'll be us - wise and experienced parents here! 👏
 
let's enjoy this phase and appreciate the hard work that has brought us here. We've earned every moment of it! And kudos to us for being so resilient - future challenges don't scare us; we're parents after all! 🎉🤣😬

every victory is a step forward, especially when recognized and cherished. It's a parent's superpower to appreciate the small wins because we know they add up and keep us going! And that subtle sibling-like bond we share as parents is a special bonus too - understanding each other even with just a look or two 😎👌
 
So true! It's those little milestones and wins that keep us motivated and make it all worthwhile. And having fellow parents who understand and appreciate those small victories makes it extra special. Celebrating every step of the way!

this parenting journey is full of little triumphs and setbacks, and being able to share them with like-minded people makes the experience richer. Here's to many more celebrations, even the quiet, subtle ones, and the wisdom to appreciate them while enjoying the ride! 🍃🎆
 
Absolutely! There are so many milestones we experience as parents that sometimes go unnoticed yet they are worth celebrating. It's a wonderful feeling to appreciate and savour every stage and phase, especially when we have a tribe of understanding and supportive mums (or dads) to share the journey with. Here's to many more triumphs, no matter how big or small! 🥂🎉
