my baby turns 8 months

Both of my babies are far from being babies now. Kathryn is seven and a half years old now and Paul is three years and eight months old. However, I remember when they were smaller and hitting all of these milestones. I was very happy to see that they were progressing the way that they were supposed to, but it was also bittersweet as well because I saw that they were gaining a little bit of independence and they didn't need me for as many things anymore. I would love to be able to take them back in time to be a baby again if only for a short period of time.

Aww.. It is so nice when babies start to grow and learn how to do different things... It is something as a parent to feel so proud about.... My baby is 15 months old, I say baby but really the way he is now I call him a toddler... He is on the go every day, he gets into everything that he can, he has been walking since he was 9 months old, and has not stopped ever since... He is keeping me fit with chasing after him every day though. At the moment he is having 1 nap a day in the morning around 10am, he will sleep for maybe an hour and a half to 2 hours, and then he will be on the go again for the rest of the day, until bedtime which is normally around 7-7.30pm, then he will sleep through till 6.30-7.00am the following morning... It is a nice routine that he has become accustomed to, and I am enjoy the freedom of sleep now. He is learning words now... his favourite is "Football" and "Cat"! It is so cute to he him. Enjoy your baby... every month is a milestone.
