Mazel Tov Syag!
I, too, was zocheh to have my first ainekel have pidyon haben 2 months ago (he’s 3 months old now). Although it is a special mitzvah that is not performed with great frequency, my daughter had a cousin who made pidyon haben about a month after her own son’s and her brother-in-law made one a year prior.
For myself, I remembered that the last time I had been at a pidyon haben was 13 years ago. I clearly remembered what I thought was the last pidyon haben that I had been at, and then suddenly I remembered that less than a month after that one, I had been at a second. Both boys had their bar mitzvahs this past spring, so it has definitely been awhile since I’ve been to one.
