The Life of a Toddler

 

So, I’ve been on this planet for 13 months now.  I’ve learned so many new and amazing things and I have so much more to learn.  Here’s another monthly update.

By the end of this month, I SHOULD be able to:

*pull up to standing position – yup.
*get into a sitting position – yup.
*cruise – yup.
*clap hands – yup.
*indicate wants in ways other than crying – yup, so I’m all on track here.

…will PROBABLY be able to:

*put an object into a container – yup, I started out putting my toys away at night, and now,  I put my toy blocks together.
*imitate activities – I love sticking out my tongue after my mommy does.  And I will mimic sounds too!
*stand alone - mastered this long ago.
*use 1 recognizable word - not yet, but I’m very close.

…may POSSIBLY be able to:

*drink from a cup – finally figured out a sippy cup, well a starter one, it has a nipple like tip rather than a hard plastic one.
*use 2 recognizable words – see above.
*point to a desired object – No pointing yet, I reach though, does that count?  I also look in the direction of a pointing finger now, when I didn’t use to, maybe that’s the first step.
*scribble – oooh, now this sounds like fun, I will have to talk with mommy and daddy to see what this is.
*walk well – you bet!  I am a walking machine.

…may even be able to:

*use a spoon/fork – sorta.  I can hold the spoon and put it in the food.  I can also move the spoon to the mouth.  But I don’t always put the spoon in the bowl or the mouth the right way, so I never really have food on it.
*remove an article of clothing – again, sorta.  Starting about a month to two months ago, whenever my parents would put my pj’s on, I would tug at the one sleeve.  Eventually I would get my arm out of it, but that’s about as far as I get.  I’ve only got two arms out once and never the whole shirt off.
*point to 1 body part when asked – Grandma Andrea is working on this one with me.  Next time she babysits we will practice some more.
