1st Post Of The Year | Light’s Milestones Year ONE

January 29, 2016 By Mommy 3 Comments

What a year it has been! 2015 was a year of many changes and adjustments for us. Having Light was definitely exhausting, but it was also the happiest and most joyous year for my husband and I. I can’t even remember now the time when it was just the two of us. I just can’t imagine not having this cute and adorable baby. 🙂

Light's Milestones

For my first post of this year 2016, though, I thought of just making a list of Light’s milestones. I’ve been jotting down notes here and there, whenever Light does something for the first time. I think Light will love reading about her first everything someday. 🙂 This will also help new parents out there know what to expect when their child reaches a certain month or stage. Just remember that each child is different. Some babies learn to walk earlier, while some learn at a later time.

Newborn Light | November 28, 2014

Smiling newborn light ong

 

  • sleeping positions (and actions) became a bit funny after a week; always getting out of her blanket, moving around and overall a fuzzy sleeper
  • first smile while she was sleeping
  • November 29: (this is probably cheating) but drank from a cup a day after she was born (donated breastmilk from sister-in-law since my milk wasn’t enough at that time)
  • December 2: first hiccup after night feeding
  • December 9: recognized own name (okay, maybe I’m stretching a little here), but while she was breastfeeding, I said her name and she looked at me and every time I said her name she paused
  • December 10: grasped a finger (MY finger!) while breastfeeding; held up her head for the first time while we were trying to put her on her tummy to burp
