There are those milestones that excite you (especially the physical ones, like holding the head up and rolling over) and make you feel so proud that your baby is developing well. Then there are those milestones that make you feel special, like when your baby learns to smile and laugh socially. And then, as we learned tonight, there are those milestones that although equally as exciting and special as the others, nevertheless make you feel a little sad. Sure, they are important, but they make you pause and think "our baby is growing up too fast". For us, that first milestone was bottle holding. James surprised us by grabbing and holding his bedtime bottle all by himself tonight:
After we took a few photos to document, Jay took over the feeding again. He just isn't ready to give that up yet, and I don't blame him. I was a little teary just watching...
(and just a note for those of you who notice such things, the color of the milk is a little dark due to the vitamin drops)

That is so cute... but you are right it makes you very sad. But it's only a start. The more they do the more you are happy and sad. And just to let you know... it never ever stops. All you kids are still doing it to us mothers! Yes we want to see you be on your own... but we still want to feel needed. *sigh* Enjoy it all now... cuz you will miss it.
