However sick days have allowed me to see several. LO was close to taking her first steps when she got HFM or pneumonia (one of those week long illnesses). She walked after being out of daycare for 5 days do I think I saw the first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1768780 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 04:42:33 +0000 Cherrybee 1768780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E tends to perform her new tricks for grandad (while Im at work) but I don't mind because its lovely to hear "have you been showing her how to touch her nose, she did it today!" etc when I pick her up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1768762 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 02:24:46 +0000 Sapphiresun 1768762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I missed the first roll. She did it for DH, and he started screaming from across the house that it had happened, but I wasn't anywhere close to catching it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1767219 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:14:07 +0000 skibobrown 1767219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DD's first steps were at daycare. (I only think so, b/c daycare didn't realize they were her first, and so didn't make a big deal out of it.) DH definitely missed DD's first steps.<br /> Also, daycare does a lot of things with the kids before we would ever think to -- like drinking out of a regular cup, using silverware, etc. I usually find out months after the fact that my daughter has acquired this new skill that makes her more independent, while we are still treating her like a baby at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1767211 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:08:56 +0000 Smurfette 1767211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sure. I just told day care to not tell if she did something first. Luckily she took her first step as I was dropping her off. So I saw that. Then a month later she started walking all over day care like a boss, and her teacher send me a video. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1767117 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 08:36:47 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1767117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I've missed any, at least not the big ones. It was really nice having the year off with her so I was there for all the big stuff like rolling, crawling, walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1767009 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 08:11:36 +0000 blackbird 1767009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, but I don't know what. Honestly, i don't care. Whether she does it first for DH or daycare...all that matters is that I do get to experience it. You can drive yourself crazy with these "firsts". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1766879 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 06:46:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1766879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does taking him places count?

I knew it was about to happen and wasn't too upset. Its just part of being a WOHM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1766129 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 20:01:57 +0000 Tanjowen 1766129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: I think that's how it is going to happen too!

So we haven't missed anything major so far. E's daycare knows to keep their mouths shut, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1766060 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 19:43:30 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1766060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: I am surprised they painted her nails at daycare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1766047 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 19:40:37 +0000 swedishfish 1766047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: aw, my LO said dada, then baba or nana, then the other one, and then mama. It was worth the wait. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1766040 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 19:39:21 +0000 Tanjowen 1766040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First word. My husband had LO while I was at work and sent me a video of him saying "da-da" over and over with a note that said, "I win." </p> <p>I told him I'm okay, but if ma-ma isn't his next word I might seriously cry :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1766015 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 19:34:09 +0000 DillonLion 1766015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Words, pottying, walking, crawling. Such is the life,of a working mom. It doesn't bother me too terribly. If it was a #1 priority, I wouldn't work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1765943 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 19:21:06 +0000 PurplePeony 1765943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I missed the first time she rolled back to belly -- she'd been *almost* doing it while she and I were traveling, but she saved the real deal for her daddy the day after we got home. I wasn't surprised, he's her favorite ;)</p> <p>@yellowbird: I can't believe your daycare allows that! I personally wouldn't care that much but my DH would be pissed if daycare put anything cosmetic-related on her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1765937 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 19:19:55 +0000 Applesandbananas 1765937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that I know of! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1765934 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 19:19:24 +0000 Pirouette 1765934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far almost every one! :crying: but they don't count till mama sees them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-missed-any-firsts#post-1765858 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 19:02:47 +0000 yellowbird 1765858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her first toenail painting....
