Each and every baby grows and develops at his or her own pace; but all babies do some of the same things. Knowing this simple fact helps many parents pass through raising babies a little easier. Always give your baby lots of love and attention; you cannot spoil your baby, even by holding him all the time. Part of nurturing your baby includes providing nourishment, bathing, giving opportunities for sleep, and allowing plenty of time and space for playing. Knowing what to expect during your baby’s first year, will ease the shock of the many firsts that you encounter. So you know you’re not alone, you should know that all babies: cry, pee, poop, pass gas, suck, spit up or vomit, grunt, drink breast milk or formula. As they grow they enjoy car rides, baths, cuddles, and playing with mom or dad. Babies begin to hold their head up, smile, roll over, pull themselves up, crawl, laugh, put their feet in their mouth, pick up objects, bat at hanging toys, and need their fingernails cut often. As they grow even older they enjoy starting solid food, pass an object from one hand to another, play with toys, sit up alone, cut teeth, feed themselves, say mama and dada, walk while holding on, and some begin walking alone by their first birthday. Keeping a journal or baby book of all your child’s firsts is a great way to remember and will give many opportunities for remembering with your children and their children. Write down your children's firsts in a book. You may think you could never forget such things, but trust me, you will. Adding pictures of the events makes remembering even more fun. Keep it safe to give to your children one day. But be sure to refer to it often as your child’s firsts include driving, dating, and going off to college.
