I cried last week when the baby turned nine months because it was just a reminder that he won't be a baby much longer. And when my oldest was a baby, I cried every time she turned a month older, up until her first birthday. They'll never be this small again! ::sob::

I'm not generally a crier and I didn't expect to cry.
It was just the 3 of us and we planned to take a video of us singing "Happy Birthday" to him and putting his smash cake in front of him. Instead the video includes the first line of the song and then me breaking down into tears and H stopping the video to comfort me. Oops. I wasn't sad about him turning 1, just something about that act of handing him the cake and singing did me in.
I actually teared up a few times leading up to her actual birthday, but then I just felt so proud. She is such an amazing person, and I love getting to know her and seeing even more personality come out. (See, typing THAT out made me tear up. Lol.)
No. The only time I've cried about him "growing up" is when he switched from the infant room to the toddler room at daycare. The toddler room just seemed so full of BIG kids, lol. I couldn't believe that was my baby. But that was a little choked up, not full on tears.
I am a pretty sentimental person and I cry a lot generally, but for some reason I don't really cry about him growing up.
No. I had a little moment of "my baaaaaaby isn't a baby anymore" but I was far from tears!
Honestly I think I came closer to crying the first time I cut his hair, at 20 months, and he looked so little boyish. But I blame that on weaning hormones.
I expected to, but didn't. It was bittersweet for me, for sure, but he's at such a fun age that I wasn't as sad as I expected that he wasn't a "baby" anymore.
I know I did with DD1, especially because the week before I found out I was pregnant with DD2 so, hormones! With DD2, I probably did because at the time I thought she was our last and that my baby was one! And again, yes, with DD3, because she is definitely our last, lol, and I was just glad we were able to get through her first year because it had been rougher than the other two.

I don't remember crying on his first birthday. I got pretty choked up at his 2nd birthday though, I started crying while we were singing to him at his party.

Considering this is making me tear up right now I am going to hazard a guess and say I will cry on her birthday.
But maybe not, because I'm the weirdo who cries at everyone else's weddings and didn't cry at my own.
