It's hard when a parent is away for a baby's first (word, step, etc.) but in today's world it's common for one, if not both, parent(s) to miss out on a few things.
We were lucky that any concepts of words happened slowly over time so we more or less experienced them together. Her first steps were from my arms to his. Those were the biggies for us, so I'm glad we both got to experience them.
Today she had another first: her first spin.
Sure, we spin her around in our arms all the time. Occasionally in a chair. Or in a sling/hammock sort of thing. But today? Today she stood in the middle of the room and starting spinning herself around. And after about three spins, fell to the floor giggling.
We never gave it much thought before, but Baby's First Spin is actually really important to us and I'm so glad we got to see it together. :)
