When we look back in 25 years, we will marvel that our babies have ended up being adults who drive cars as well as make their own paychecks. (Here’s hoping!)
You most likely have a infant book to track your bambino’s development with the very first year: sitting up, crawling, very first tooth, as well as so on.
But exactly how will you keep in mind your rookie year? After all, it’s filled with important experiences that will one day make you a professional mom, capable of coaching soccer, chaperoning institution dances, as well as sending annoying e-mail reminders about unwritten thank-you notes.
Trust us: one day you’ll look back on the early days of motherhood as well as it will be difficult to keep in mind them. We’ve provided you this chart to remind you that Mommy’s very first full night of sleep is at least as important as baby’s very first banana. These traditional mama milestones are worth documenting: Rookie mothers Milestones [pdf]
