Recently, she started calling me "mommy" instead of "mama". I love how she says mommy, but it's a little bittersweet because I feel like she's really growing up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad/page/2#post-2007575 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 01:40:26 +0000 CRGmama 2007575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were sad about teeth. I cried on Christmas but just because it was emotional to see him having so much fun, not because I was "sad." I am usually excited about milestones because I'm so proud. His first birthday is rapidly approaching and that is killing me. I think I'll be a wreck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad/page/2#post-2007481 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 23:08:42 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 2007481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cried hard when J turned one week old. Hormones, and I was sick of people being in my house! I think I was just feeling very overwhelmed.</p> <p>I was a little sad when he lost his gummy baby smile too, because his teeth came in fast and furious.</p> <p>But other than that, every new stage is more fun than the last! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2007480 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 23:07:40 +0000 PinkElephant 2007480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Awww that would get to me, too. I was sad when my oldest daughter stopped calling me "ma-mai" (like "my mama") and said mommy instead. Now I'm afraid when she switches to "mom" her little sister will follow suite all too soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2007476 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 23:03:22 +0000 PinkElephant 2007476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to be pretty crushed when DD#2 (7.5 months) finally cuts one of the teeth she's been working on forever. I'm ok with her crawling, mostly just because she's so pleased with herself (and because she plods around blowing raspberries like a little disgruntled pony. It's too hilarious to be sad). I did find myself shaking my head going "how did we get here so fast?!" The first time I saw her on all fours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2007452 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 22:29:44 +0000 regberadaisy 2007452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 32m calls me mom sometimes. I hate it! :( I keep telling her "mommy"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2007431 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 22:07:14 +0000 mediagirl 2007431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is ridiculous but I got sad the other day in the mall when the people at Stride Rite told me my baby had moved up to the big kid shoes because shes in 8.5 now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2007409 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 21:41:35 +0000 BandDmommy 2007409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cried when DD was born and I realized it wasn't just B and I anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2007405 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 21:39:12 +0000 Lindsay05 2007405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes when we potty trained DD1. For some reason it meant I know longer had a dependent child! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2007377 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 21:17:35 +0000 delight 2007377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: way to go mama with BF. You did awesome!</p> <p>I definitely agree with packing away clothes. Sometimes I look at her newborn stuff and wonder where my baby went. Now that she is walking around and super independent I miss the days where she was attached to my hip because I had to carry her around. However, at 16 months she Has such a hilarious personality and is exploding in language that I really am loving every minute of it. I do miss those newborn cuddles though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2007356 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 21:08:22 +0000 808love 2007356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking at old videos! And her birthdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2006190 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 01:13:17 +0000 Corduroy 2006190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wasn't a milestone for LO but I cried on Christmas. LO is 22 months and so interested in being a big girl. Packing up all her baby toys to make room for big girl toys, changing all her clothes to 2T, listening to her talk to the whole family, she's just growing up so fast. It usually doesn't get to me but I guess it's pregnancy hormones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2006173 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 00:14:16 +0000 littlejoy 2006173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Honestly, no. Looking back at photos &amp; videos makes my heart hurt a bit, but I've just really loved that each new stage is so amazing!!! I am sure if you ask me in a year (when she's walking and talking), I will definitely say I get sad at how fast it goes. Thank goodness for photos and other ways of documenting their lives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2006162 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 23:55:46 +0000 fairy 2006162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None really made me sad but I definitely cried when she first laughed and did a real smile, and when she first walked across the room :') it was happy tears though! I think I will be sad when she weans though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2006080 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 22:23:54 +0000 blackbird 2006080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I love all the milestones. Seeing her grow is a joy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2006071 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 22:17:09 +0000 littleblessings 2006071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS I bawled like a baby when he was 8months and SO said we should give him a jarred food. I cried so hard. I only held DS and made SO feed him. I couldn't do it myself. /: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2006010 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 21:40:08 +0000 Andrea 2006010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: awwww! Maybe that explains why I randomly pick up my 4.5 year old. Haha. Luckily she loves it and lets me. Now I never want to stop after reading that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2005983 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 21:26:50 +0000 MamaBehr 2005983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't hit this one yet, but kindergarten is quickly approaching and I think that will be the hardest one yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2005942 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 21:12:26 +0000 getjazzy 2005942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Night before his first birthday and the last time I breastfed him. The nursing one still makes me tear up when I think about it. I remember thinking about how sad I was to no longer have that special bond and that I would miss looking in to his eyes or watching him drift off to sleep so peacefully :crying: I feel lucky that I was able to nurse him until 16 months though so there's a plus side too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2005928 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 21:07:18 +0000 Torchwood 2005928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: For what it's worth, my mom picked me up and carried me once when I was really upset when I was at least 10. She's tiny so I have no idea how she did it, but there's a chance you have a while yet. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2005924 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 21:06:52 +0000 artsyfartsy 2005924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Ugh the feels. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2005919 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 21:04:41 +0000 artsyfartsy 2005919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cried at the week marker too! Idk why. DH was napping on the couch and I was holding T while he was snoozing, and watched as the clock turned to 8:35pm with tears running down my face. I thought to myself, "I'm a crazy woman."</p> <p>So far, nothing else. I cried when we had to stop BFing but that wasn't a milestone we grew out of. He's 10 months and not crawling or pulling up yet, so I'm anxious for those milestones to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2005881 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:51:00 +0000 matador84 2005881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: OMG! I want to pick "my babies" up forever! Ha! </p> <p>Gummy smiles! Sad when they get their teeth in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2005867 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:47:16 +0000 ALV91711 2005867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: That will make me so sad, I'm just sad thinking about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2005848 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:41:04 +0000 Ash 2005848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: I read a similar quote that said something along the lines of there being a last time they ask to be picked up. :crying: :crying: :crying: </p> <p>Every milestone makes me sad! I'm a huge weenie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2005818 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:27:21 +0000 Tanjowen 2005818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first birthday was hard. And at about 10 months when he lost a lot of his chub and started to look less "babyish." :bummed: But he's turning out to be a hilarious little boy and it's fun watching him figure things out!</p> <p>I definitely now get the weird joy and pain of parenthood, where you are sad they are growing up, but really excited about what they are learning each day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2005770 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:05:10 +0000 lilteacherbee 2005770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Ugh, I sobbed when LO turned a week old, too! I happened to look at the clock at the exact time he was born and I lost it. It was bad.</p> <p>I got sad thinking about his first birthday, but when the time came, I was just excited. I cried when he self-weaned at 13 months because I really wanted to go longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2005763 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:00:27 +0000 Glitter 2005763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I stopped exclusively breastfeeding at six months to introduce solids, I must admit a felt a little sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-any-milestones-make-you-sad#post-2005746 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 19:48:46 +0000 sorrycharlie 2005746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I already get teary thinking of preschool and kindergarten graduations! </p>
