Baby firsts



First off I have to point out that this blog is about my journey and my daughter.  Every child grows differently so please don't use this as a comparison to any other child.  Some grow fast and some grow slow it doesn't mean something is wrong! The same goes for parenting. My style may be different then yours but neither of us are wrong.  What works for me may not work for you, and vice versa

Now to the good stuff!  In the past few months we have experienced Molly's first teeth (she now has 6!) which led to her first dentist visit, to her first holidays.  I am a very emotional mommy.  I cry, or atleast tear up at every new thing Molly does or gets to experience. I think I get emotional because she's growing so fast, and she's a head of the game when it comes to a lot of things, and I wish she would slow down!   How do you handle your child's firsts?   I find it very important to let her know that she's done something good.  "Good job Molly!" "Mommy is proud of you baby!" Are a few that I'm constantly saying to her.  I think it's a good pattern to start with her now, so she will have some sense of pride and confidence as she gets older.   I always had very low self esteem, and that's a cycle I want to break now that I have a little girl of my own.

  Here are some pictures of Molly's firsts!

I am constantly taking and posting pictures of Molly's silliness and all her firsts!  Follow me on Instagram @mollysworld525 and send me your little ones firsts.  Hashtag mollysworld525 and I will feature some on the next blog!

Also i am planning a big breast feeding update and would love a few "guest bloggers"  to share their breast feeding journey.  If interested please email mollysworld525@gmail.com for more info!
