Milestones

Amanda had a good thought. The blog is a great record of Adria’s developmental milestones, but it can and will be very hard to scan (note that at last count I have made 424 posts since I started on 6/2/2008). So a summary of the milestones that I have noted might be in order! I started with Adria’s birth (no point in browsing the 2008 stuff about the pregnancy), and took notes all the way up to my latest post. Here’s what I came up with:

Gotta love this convergence:

1/23/2009: First cry with real tears

Now ask yourself…who do you think it was exactly, that was crying?

Nice list! I've been thinking of making one for Helen, too.

As you maintain the list, you might consider adding a third column for ease of browsing: age. You wouldn't have to fill in each line, maybe just the entries closest to each month-birthday?
