Y’all will have to bear with me this coming month, I think. 🙂
One year ago, almost to the day, I looked like this:
And yesterday, my little Nater Tot took his FIRST step!!
I can’t even believe it. And of course we missed it with the camera, even though we seriously have like three in arm’s reach all the time. He’s still very shaky – I don’t think we’re close to walking – but he’s never stood up as much as he has in the last two days. He’s also teething HORRIBLY and so we haven’t been getting very good sleep and naps have been rough too.
I have a question for you moms out there – did your child ever stop sleeping well when they were in the midst of mastering different “milestones”? Nathan went through a period when he learned how to crawl where he didn’t sleep either. I’m wondering if we’re also in the midst of that too with the standing/walking.
We haven’t done too much this week – just ran some errands and I’ve been trying to get some writing done. I got asked out on a date tonight by a super cute guy, so we’re ditching the Tot with his grandparents. 😉 What are you doing this weekend?
Yay Nathan! Gosh, he looks so big in those pictures. I can't believe he's almost a year old. So crazy.
As for you question, absolutely. Sleep regression is just a part of major milestones. I remember my little man regressing really bad around the time he started walking. I knew I had an article about it stashed somewhere. Here is the link from What to Expect. The good news is it doesn't last long. 🙂

All my kiddoes made up with nursing marathons at night when they were too busy with new stuff during the day 😉 Congrats…
Congrats! So great for Nathan.
Completely random. I just wanted to say that I loved Easter Carats. And Emilie's grandmother is sorta how I picture Laurie as a grandmother. Matchmaking and all. 🙂
Emily and Barefoot Mommy – thank you!! At least I know we're not both going crazy!!! Thanks for the link, Emily, that was really helpful!
Joy – thanks! I'm so glad you liked it!
