It's a getting-to-know-you year:

Parents are learning to understand this new little one--how to balance "normal" development information with the unique qualities of this new baby.

Parents have gone from couple to parents—a whole new unit.

In a few short months baby goes from totally dependent to waddling away, parents move from meeting needs on demand to preventing a 'demanding" toddler. Learn what to expect and how to do more than go through this year in a haze. Come together with other parents to share the struggles and joys--and see that you have the cutest baby in the room. Babes in arms welcome. Childcare provided very nearby for movers and shakers.
