I woke up and realized today that my Baby will be a Toddler tomorrow!
Its always amazing to see your little one grow, but that 1st birthday is always so special. Otis is cruising around the house now and just itching to put this walking thing to work finally. Yesterday he took his last bottle of formula, and is beginning the process of trading in the Adiri bottle for nothing but his sippy cup. Breastfed for nearly 8 months, I think we’re both madly clinging to the last of that “baa-baa” comfort. And though he doesn’t know it just yet, his doggy WubbaNub will soon become simply a doggy named Wubby. He has long transferred to a simple Soothie around the house, but could never fall to sleep without a little puppy love.
Having the second baby does make things different on celebrating milestones. {His older sister brought her first year in with a grand, festooned fashion.} But Otis, a surprise since that first pregnancy stick, he will grant us a pause {finally} to center on just how amazing this day is by itself. We will have some great plans, good food, and certainly a Mylar balloon or two. But overall, its Momma getting the gift to breathe in a few priceless moments.
How about your kids? How do you celebrate 1st birthdays?
