January is bitter-sweet for me. \u00a0One year ago, January 27th, 2013 I welcomed my second son Ryan into this world. \u00a0In just a few short weeks, he’ll be turning ONE! \u00a0No longer a baby… but a toddler. \u00a0Tears are rolling down my cheeks just writing that. \u00a0For some reason, with my second son, it all went by too fast. \u00a0When I had my first son, his baby year was one big haze.\"01-27_Maya_BW__033\"<\/a> I couldn’t wait for him to “grow-up”. I don’t think I enjoyed much of it because I was always looking for him to reach the next stage…the next big milestone. \u00a0That’s why I devoured every single second of Ryan’s first year, doing my hardest to enjoy the “moment” with him instead of looking forward to the next one. \u00a0Even still… it went by too fast. Such a cliche, but it’s true.<\/p>\n

In fact, Ryan did everything sooner than my older son Kyle. \u00a0He crawled sooner, stood-up sooner and cruised sooner. \u00a0It was as if life was playing a cruel joke on me. I was hoping for a slower pace but my son had his own plan. \u00a0I’m currently busy planning his first year’s party, which will include a music themed dinner with our immediate family and a fun family photo-shoot including smash-the-cake. \u00a0\"IMG_20140102_161058\"<\/a>It’s going to be hard thinking of Ryan as a toddler because I want him to remain a baby so badly. However, he is already exhibiting signs of a toddler including grunting, doing things in opposition to what I ask \/ want, pretend crying when his brother annoys him and throwing little fits when he doesn’t get his way. While they are truly adorable, this is also a sign of things to come.<\/p>\n

Luckily, there are a few things that I can still hang-on-to to remind me of his baby year. He still breastfeeds, he still needs a high-chair, he still sleeps in a crib, we still use the monitor to check up on him and we definitely still require the stroller. Of course, playtime doesn’t end with toddlerhood so there are always toys, toys, toys! It’s amazing how much STUFF babies need. Luckily, through January 17 – 30th, Sears is celebrating Baby Days!<\/a> Sears is offering 15% off\u00a0almost everything including nursery\u00a0furniture, strollers, monitors and more! Plus, there will be great deals on\u00a0infant apparel. Click HERE<\/a> for more details. I know that some of my friends who are new to parenthood and expecting their second will love this!\"IMG_20140106_102129\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Did you find that your child’s first year went by too fast or too slow?<\/strong><\/p>\n
