LO's first year

BC&LM · June 2014

If you had to pick, what was your favorite time in LO's first year? (I know the whole year was awesome, but try to pick one anyway!)

BC&LM · June 2014

Of course the whole year was great, but I think 4-6 months was my favorite. LO was starting to show a clear personality and interact lots, but he hadn't learned to crawl or walk yet. (I love my little man walking all around now, but man is it tiring!) Plus we had Thanksgiving and Christmas during the 4-6 months block, so lots of family time.

I would have to say that this stage is so far my favorite. She is so funny and interactive. I really do miss the 0-3 squishy stage though and wish I would have spent a little more time just snuggling her. I will appreciate the newborn stage a lot more (if I am ever blessed) with a second.

I loved when J was 0-3, she was super cuddly and slept all the time, but I love now 10-12 cause she's doing so much and is so much fun now.

ASmallWonder · June 2014

I love the squishiness of newborns but he was kind of needy and I struggled to figure out my life right then

Anything after that is really great and I love his personality now but he's back to being needy. I voted 7-9 - a little mobile, sweet, hadn't figured out defiance or tantrums yets

I love the stage he is at right now. He is starting to really show his personality and do funny things. I love it. I am one of those weird people that didn't necessarily enjoy the first month. I never had PPD but I was so exhausted and drained the first month of his life, I wasn't able to enjoy him as much as I would like to. Now that he sleeps through the night, I have enough energy to enjoy the moment and have fun throughout the day!

It was a hard choice between 0-3 and 10-12. I loved 0-3 in that LO was so portable and snuggle-able, and I got to be home with him for most of it, but I seriously love the little independent person he's become now!

This exactly

Easily 4-6. He hadn't got mobile yet, but he was smiley and cute and fun. Of course I love the little person he is now, but gosh I just loved that stage right before he started crawling.

WasNotWas · June 2014

Can I pick 18 months? Because that's when it gets awesome

LaBellaVida · June 2014

0 to 3. I LOVE the nb stage!

Y'all who picked 4-6 either were blessed to skip the massive sleep regression, or you've repressed it.

(10-12 months here. Dude is so. much. fun. And there's nothing like a little person crawling right into your lap when you open your arms...)

Hahaha! Good point.

Loved 7-9 months! She was starting to interact a lot, eat new foods and STTN but couldn't walk and get into anything yet.

MorganWP · June 2014

We were the blessed ones with skipping the 4-6 sleep regression. Honestly, she slept better then than she does now. I picked 4-6 based on that alone. But also because like PPs said, she was fun and cuddly but not yet mobile.

AlsGal01 · June 2014

10-12 because it's so much fun being able to teach him things and have him pick it up so quickly now. My 2nd choice would have been 0-3 because I miss him being so small!!

weddinginthecove · June 2014

Definitely 4-6 when he was not mobile, still was able to cuddle a little and was becoming so fun. I was blessed with a baby that slept well until 7 months. I haven't slept since, so anything before 7 months was awesome to me.

CoffeeBeanFiend91 · June 2014

10-12 is the most fun. But I honestly love them all the same since each one had something special about them. Except 4-6. F*ck 4-6 and its sleep regression
