We go in for DD's 18 month check up tomorrow and I am trying to think of any quesetions or concerns that I may have. What did you discuss at your 18 month visit and what types of things is your LO doing? Thanks!

    One of the milestones I know they ask about around 18 months is the ability to string 2 words together.  But don't be concerned if your DD isn't doing that yet, it's a large window for that milestone, and 18 months is the earliest they start looking for that skill.

    DS's pedi asked if he had around 10 words, knew a couple of body parts, and could go up and down stairs by himself.

    This is the one we are trying to hit too...  Not worried at all, but trying to get him to say "more milk" or "cookie please", etc...

    DD just had her 18 month check up last week.  Her pedi asked about how many words she knows, if she could put 2 or more words together yet (not concerned that she hasn't done that yet), if she was walking well and if she walks flat on her feet or on her tiptoes, and if we point to something if she will either say what it is or go get it and bring it to us.  I'm sure there was more, but my DD is hysterical the whole time we are there so this is what I remember over all the screaming.  :)

    Our ped asks if they can say 7-10 words, point to 3 body parts, eat with a spoon, throw a ball, and follow a command (like get your book).
