A year full of firsts
Thank you to P&G for sponsoring this post. All thoughts are my own.
The days pass slowly and the years pass quickly. I’ve never heard a more true statement about little kids and mom. I think the first year passes even faster if that’s possible.
The fact that they go from this tiny little newborn…
to a smiling, toothy, sitting, standing, crawling, babbling little person in the course of 365 days is just amazing!
I have the hardest time seeing these last first milestones. But, my baby is growing up!
And, just finished celebrating the last of her first holidays, Christmas.
Helping ease that heartache of her growing a little bit? Washing all of my girls clothes in Dreft. And, secretly? I wash some of Mr. Serious’ shirts in it, too. There is just something about the smell of it that says “baby!”
I know what it’s like to look over at your 8 year old reaching the dials on the stove and remember that she was a teeny-tiny-little-bit just before my last blink!

Oh it’s got to be saying Mama. That first sound is so sweet. And it’s funny how something so sweet can turn to grating in just a few years. 🙂
Oh, I’m still waiting for a real mama! She babbles it, but hasn’t said it to me, yet!
I loved it when my daughter crawled for the first time.
my favorite first is when they first say “Ma-Ma”.
It is the sweetest!
I haven’t had a baby in the house but that baby smell always takes me back. I may buy some Dreft just for the memories.
It’s dangerous smelling it…seriously!
It’s gotta be the smile. That one melts your heart.
social smiling, HANDS DOWN. nothing melts my heart more 🙂 — of course, this is going off my experience pre-kids. our first is due in 9 days!!
I would have to say the crawling and trying to say mama or dada
Those first steps!
The first word/s
My favorite is when babies smile (really smile) for the first time. Lights up the room. Thanks.

My favorite milestone (thus far) is when my baby boy smiled intentionally at me for the first time-can’t beat that!
My favorite is when they first crawl.
Sleeping through the night is my favorite milestone! 🙂
I was so anxious for our son to walk. I wasn’t worry about him getting into things. I was just happy that he was self-sufficient.
I think this (along with talking) are for the first kids. After that, it’s all, yeah, they still can’t walk away from me…and they can’t talk:) Well, maybe!
I loved when my kids knowingly smiled and laughed for the first time!
my favorite milestone is when they start walking
I think my favorite milestone is their first real smile, melts your heart.

first words
My favorite first milestone is when babies first laugh. My 3 month old granddaughter has just started really laughing.
when the learn to give you kisses.
I think my favorite milestone was when she started to crawl around on her own.
The giggling, nothing more soothing and enjoyable then giggles coming from a babies mouth!
The first milestone I love most is baby learning to walk! My second would be sleeping thru the night ;-).
My favorite milestone is baby’s first word.
i love when they start cooing and smiling i love it…i also love when they first lift up their little heads and look at you
The first time she smiled at me at 2 months.
My favorite is when they can sit up by themselves.
When they first start smiling, but especially laughing full belly laughs, is my favorite thing in the world.
Also? When they start to say “I Love you.”
My favorite milestone is when they discover that doing one thing will cause a reaction. When my son was a baby, he learned that pulling on dad’s beard would make dad say “ow!” (although it didn’t really hurt him). So whenever my little one wanted dad’s attention, he’d go yank on the beard. Then it was play time! It’s amazing how many things they learn in the first year!
I love the first smiles!
My favorite first milestone is when they being to talk, great feeling to hear there first words.

I’m not exactly sure why, but I love it when they can sit up. Somehow they seem like they’re anxious to be in the game!
Thanks for a great giveaway.
I think it has to be his first smile.
I think that the first genuine or real smile is just adorable and melts my heart.
I love it when they start laughing.
I love their first laugh, it’s so sweet!
My baby rolled over for the first time about five seconds after she was born, it was very surprising and exciting! I am really looking forward to feeding her some pureed sweet potatoes but at the same time dreading it because my little girl is getting so big! She’ll be six months and ready to try out some food next month. Those are probably my favorite milestones.
I love the first laugh or first smile. It warms my heart the first and every time.
my favorite was when my LO said I love you mommy
My favorite milestone is their first real word! Talking is such a wonderful milestone!
I always liked it when they could sit up. They were so much happier when they could see better and play with their toys easier.
My favorite first milestone is the first laugh or giggle. It is so cute and it is when the babies start to become so much fun. I could play for hours just to hear her giggle.
One of my favorite first milestones is hearing a baby really laugh for the first time.

I have always loved hearing what that first word will be
I think talking is my favorite. Little babies becoming aware and talkative are the best times.
First smile.
The first, hesitant, yet jubilant steps are really the end of infancy and the beginning of independent life.
As a Grandma I love to watch when they reach for your face and smile.
I love their first milestone of standing up for the first time. I love the look of astonishment in their eyes that they are doing it all by themselves!
I love seeing my grandbabies learn how to walk. They are so cute.
