As most mums would know there are many developmental milestones you go through with each baby, things like first words, first steps etc.. These things are usually celebrated by both parents-and many other family members.
But what about the uncelebrated milestones?
Miss Isla has reached two new milestones this week, and I've quietly celebrated them to myself (my husband thinks I'm going cuckoo).
First time sitting in a high chair at a restaurant. You call up and book for 5 people - instead of 4 with space for a pram. She sits in her own chair and watches what's going on, drools while she watches you eat and plays with the spare cutlery. No longer a sleeping newborn in the pram in the corner.
And today she reached up for me to signal for me to pick her up. It's the first time she's really reached out for a cuddle from me. And while at the time she was actually driving me nuts it was a beautiful little moment.
I love watching all three of my kids growing up. As a mum of one child with anxiety and one born with a heart disease we have celebrated many milestones that seem weird or insignificant to others-but to us they have been very special and meaningful 😃😃
