To ensure you don’t miss a thing, here are a few milestones you’ll want to keep an eye out for:
When they look you in the eye
The instant connection you feel will melt your heart.
When they smile
And no, we don't mean straight after a feed, which is a usually a sign of wind, but when they look in your eyes and smile.
When they lift their head
This is a sign that your little, tiny baby is no longer little anymore. Now they will be able to interact and look at the world around them, not just what’s in front of their face.
Your first outing
The first time you leave the house with Baby will be both stressful and exhilarating at the same time. You’ll want to celebrate with a few snaps, so get your camera ready.
When they feed themselves
Holding their spoon by themselves means your little one is well on their way to independence.
When they clap their hands
The fact that they’ve managed to coordinate their hands together and make a sound should not be allowed pass without a celebration.
When they gurgle
The adorable sounds that come out of your little one’s mouth are not only cute, they are also a sign that your little one is trying to communicate.
Sitting up
Just like the first time they lift their head, when they start sitting up on their own they will be able to interact and connect with the world that bit more.
Point at something
Using their finger to point at something is a sign your little one is well on their way to independence.
First kiss
You will have no doubt showered them in countless amounts of kisses from the moment they arrived, and when they reciprocate you’ll feel on top of the world.
