Sorry for the driveby AWing, but I thought some of my fellow colic mamas would appreciate this. After having a really rough start with the constant colic I could never really relate to the posts that were like OMG, they are getting bigger, tears. I was like... God I hope this stage ends soon. The constant crying, screaming, clinginess, lack of sense of self. HORRIBLE.
But we turned a corner around 4 months and things started getting great around 6 months. Now I just adore her.
Today she stood by herself without holding anything for 5 or 10 seconds. Nothing amazingly out of the ordinary for a baby her age (almost 11 months since she was 3 weeks early), but this is MY baby, and she is turning into a non-baby. I burst into tears. And then I smiled realizing it was great to actually be enjoying these moments vs trying to hurry her along.
Anyway, I still lurk here when I can, they definitely need a bump app like they have for Proboards. I will try to get more involved soon.
Here are a few recent pictures!
(PIPs not working yet - new bump has me thrown for a loop!)
Re: First time crying over her getting older (plus PIPs)
I can't believe how fast our babies are growing. Sometimes I stare at her and I'm so confused about how she grew so much in the blink of an eye!
