Ok ladies... I'm sure I could google and find a answers galore, but why not ask all of you who have kids in the same boat.

1. When did your LO start taking ALL milk from sippy cup?

2. When did you take away the pacifier (dread this!)

3. ?When did your LO take their first steps alone?

4. ?When did the tantrums start?

5. What about when their first words were?

?

Can you tell I am getting a little nervous that Harrison isn't walking or talking yet? ?I know they say every kid develops at their own pace, but it's hard to hear that a kid 3 weeks younger than him can hold up 1 finger to say she's 1 and she also says 'wow'. He's also started this screeching when he doesn't get his way. ?Seriously... I thought terrible twos were for tantrums? ?

Thanks!?

I'm not much more experienced than you are, but some of my answers might make you feel better! ?:)?

1. Not yet, it will probably be another month or so. ?I'm not pushing it.

2. n/a, never used one

3. 11 months

4. 12 months

5. Nothing consistent yet, he'll say "kit-teeee" now and then but it seems more like a fluke. The kid holding up 1 finger in response to being asked her age sounds a little advanced for her age (or her parents are exaggerating). ?**I don't count mama, dada, etc. as "real" words.**?

 I'm answering for my DD:

1. When did your LO start taking ALL milk from sippy cup?  13 months, she weaned herself of bottles (both my kids did this around this age) she just didn't want it anymore.

2. When did you take away the pacifier (dread this!)  She still has it, only in bed, I don't plan on taking it away any time soon (DS didn't want his anymore at 2.5, so I'm hoping DD will do the same)

3.  When did your LO take their first steps alone?  Around her 1st b-day she would take a step here or there, didn't start walking till 14 months old.

4.  When did the tantrums start?  recently, maybe the last 4 months

5. What about when their first words were?  at her 1st b-day she was saying uh-oh, ho ho ho (santa) and a couple animal sounds.  She is just now really starting to talk alot (23 months old).
