Continuing with my top ten from Asher’s first year of life…
#9 All the little “firsts” – the first coo, smile, laugh, word. Learning how to roll over, sit up, eat from a spoon, crawl, wave, and take a step. I am beyond blessed to be home with Asher every day and for the past year we haven’t ever been apart for more than a few hours. As a result I’ve had a front row seat to all his milestones. I look forward to a lifetime of “firsts” with Asher!
Among those firsts, one of my favorite moments was when Asher learned how to wave. There was something about this little baby that was now interacting with me. He takes his little hand and kind of flaps his fingers down toward his palm to wave and I just think it’s precious. I was amazed when I would say, “Asher, wave to Daisy” and he would actually do it! Not that I’d trade all those early snuggly months with my newborn, but there is just something so special about the beginning stages of actual communication with older babies!
