We've all read a thousand books (and plumbed the dark corners of the Internet, even though we know we shouldn't) to learn about appropriate milestones for our babies and toddlers. From our kids' births, many of us nerve-wrackingly endeavored to make sure they were rolling, crawling, walking, and talking on time.
But what all the textbooks miss are those precious other milestones. Not the developmental ones that the pediatrician asks about at well baby visits (that's my family in the pic at our most recent appointment)—but the sweet, sentimental stuff that unfolds before our watery eyes with each passing day.
1. The First Sentence
2. The First Show of Sibling Love
3. The First Expression of Rhythm
4. The First Restaurant Meal
5. The First Stroll Without the Stroller
6. The First Signs of Distinct Personality
7. The First (Little) Injury
8. The First All-Out Tantrum
9. The First Projects
10. The First Time Giving Kisses
