Milestone sadness

sparkymcgeee · March 2014

So I realized today when I saw the text DH sent me of Isaac cruising along the baby gate that next month my baby will be nine months old. Eliza started walking at nine months. WALKING!! Ladies, there will be babies that walk next month. It's pretty much just little mobile people from this point on. Whether it's crawling or walking or scooting they are all going to be mobile in the next couple of months. Where did our babies go!?

I know. We (group of parents with similarly aged LOs) were discussing this at the library today. To boot, I'm making the decisions for DS's school/future (K or wait? What to do if his school's pre-k doesn't run,etc) and realized my Little girl is going to be THREE this summer.

Slow the darn planet down, hit pause, something please.

Nope. I refuse. My baby will not move beyond sitting up. Sitter for life! I'm really in no hurry for crawling or walking. It happens to fast!

It's possible I am way too emotional of a person to have become a parent. I cried when LO popped his first tooth.

Slow down, babies! DD just got comfortable with sitting up and i'm super happy with that. I don't know why IRL parents are always bragging about how early their kid started walking. Sitter for lyfe!!!

The may11 board had a 7.5 month old walker. She took video. It was crazy.

I'm sorry, I read that as pooped his first tooth. too many diapers today.

Another sitter here. She lunges for things, but that's about it.

Ha! I hope he never poops a tooth!

No way. In denial. Not happening.

So I suppose this is kind of a big deal and I've been too wrapped up in everything else to mention it, but Lucas can walk all the way across his nursery if he's holding both my hands.

He's way too wobbly to stand unsupported right now, but he's not far off.

Crawling is for babies. ;;)

@mimi4347 that's so awesome!

H can do the same, it's pretty cool. He just learned to sit though, weird little guy.

gutsymama · March 2014

@Asbromle Lucas has been sitting for less than a month. He was standing before he could sit. He wants to move SO bad.

Sully could pull to standing before sitting up/crawling. I was terrified he might actually walk first, but he started sitting up and crawling all this past week. I'm not ready!!!

My little brother was just over 7 mo when he started walking. My mom has pictures of him free standing by the Xmas tree (he was born in May). The kid has always been crazy coordinated.

But yeah, I walked at 9 mo, DD was 10 mo and this kid already is trying to chase his big sis, so it won't be long. I keep telling DH we need another baby because he's growing too fast but he's not taking the bait.

DenverBride2005 · March 2014

Slow down babies!! My little ones were/are on the later end of the spectrum for walking I think (LO can sit with the best of them now, but not much else!). I'm okay with that!

summerchild · March 2014

Another crawler, pull to standing LO here. He's growing up way too fast!

MRads · March 2014

Nooooo. I can't believe how quickly the past 8+ months have flown!

Our house is still nowhere near child proofed though, so I am ok with my sitter for life baby.

emandia · March 2014

My friend had a baby in late June and he's standing on his own already. Right in the middle of the room. Her second baby walked at 8 months and I bet he does the same thing.

My kids were all late walkers...like 13 months and 15 months. I'm totally fine with that.

valstulas · March 2014

My middle boys didn't walk until 16 months, so I still have a few more months of stressing out over milestones. But seeing pics and videos of all these older, mobile infants is sad.

atlvol · March 2014

No. Just no. I'm putting my fingers in my ears and shutting my eyes. I can't hear you!!!

KikiCohen · March 2014

I can't believe P is almost 9 months. According to the baby calendar on here, there are exactly 100 days till his birthday. I might have an ugly cry lol

This is happening so, so fast. In 10 days, we went from sitting to crawling with precision, emptying ottomans, and pulling up then proceeding to stand and play while balancing with one hand.

Sheesh! Ten days?? That's so fast. I'd cry for sure! My Elanor loves sitting and lunging. She still hates tummy time. I'm ok with that if it means she continues to be my little paper weight!
