I remember his first double roll over, yep, straight off the bed!
Not a day goes by now without a bump or too and we have had a couple of pretty serious things which have embedded two valuable lessons:
1) Toddling is a fast way to travel
My beloved had gone upstairs with bubba to start bedtime routine and shortly after I heard bumps on the stairs. I thought it was them running up and down the stairs. Then a very pale faced daddy came through the door with a very quiet and still bubba.
'He's just fallen down the whole flight of stairs'!!!!
I swear my heart stopped a beat after those words and seeing bubba so quiet but thank fully as soon as he saw mummy he screamed.
Daddy had put him down to shut the blind and in that short space he'd got to top of the stairs and daddy hadn't shut the stair gate. Luckily he was ok but I had a very unsettled night!
Daddy has learnt shut baby gates instantly.
2) Never under estimate how fast babies grow
Me and bubba had been at Grandma and Grandad's for a few days and once back at home I'd put a cup of tea down that I thought was completely out of the way. Nope all over his hand. It's amazing how fast you act when you need to. Unfortunately it did result in our 1st trip to A&E.
I felt and still feel incredibly guilty but he bounced right back.
It makes me think what else is to come. You'd do anything to wrap them in cotton wool but then how would they learn. It's all part of growing up, even if it does age mummy and daddy prematurely!
