Let's focus on the good things our LO's are doing lately. What is the most recent milestone your LO has hit? Or what is something new they have learned?
We officially have a "walker". He takes more than 1-4 steps at a time. He can walk but is still shaky and still crawls like 80% of the time. But it happened on Christmas Eve when he was 15 months old. I was very happy.
Molly is talking a bit more (says grandpa and the dogs' names) and is making what I call secondary associations (understands that the Xmas tree, the tree on my shirt and the tree outside are all the same "type" of thing).
She just started walking this weekend and one of the cutest things she will do now is if you ask her where her belly is she pulls up her shirt and will pat it.
I don't know if I would call it a "milestone," but she has started blowing on her food if I tell her it's hot. She sees her brother do it and now she does it all the time. It is the cutest thing!
DD's isn't really a milestone but all of the sudden she isn't sleeping through the night anymore for the last few mos. She will usually wake up 1-2 times a night. Most times she will wimper a few times then go back to sleep but sometimes I actually have to go in there and pay her butt for a few min. I don't mind doing it, but it kinda sucks that she started STTN at 4-5 mos and is now waking up again. Any advice would be great!! Do I just let her cry? I don't really want to start a habit.
She's done it for a little while, but she will pat my arm when I pick her up, mimicking me from when I pat and rub her back. It's the sweetest thing.
Newer; she pats her face when I'm putting on make up. Also, she thinks all the farm animals from the Little People's farm say "neigh". Occasionally she will say "moo".
We have a new walker. He just took his first steps at the beginning of the month and is now walking 95% of the time. In the last couple of days he has started to stand up without having to pull up. I love how proud he looks when he does it.
D learned to clap it's probably been 4 weeks now, but she was really behind on that. It was a huge milestone for us! I also saw her grab her diaper for the 1st time when it was too wet! We have speech delays, mainly in imitation.
Warren has FINALLY started taking a sippy cup which is pretty big considering he just learned how to hold the bottle/cup himself. Then when he gets bored with it he starts pinching the tip of it so he can wash the house with his milk/water :-w oh and he waves now (if you wave first) but he waves with his hand waving at himself because that's what he sees when someone waves at him. He still only babbles a few words and his newest is "Hi."
Is biting a milestone? Im trying to get him to stop but I can't tell if he thinks its kissing because it doesn't seem to mean spirited. He hugs me, then nuzzles his face and bites me. It hurts like a bitch.
Hes also started blowing kisses, which is super cute.
C has learned where his nose, tummy, and tongue are recently and loves to show them off. He also has this adorable little lip snarl he does when annoyed.
Yeah, Cece's new thing is to intentionally push boundaries. I'm thinking how is this possible in a 14-month old already??? But, we'll have bath time, and she'll look me straight in the eye, give me the biggest grin, and start standing up in the bath, which she knows she's not allowed to do. Her smile is so cute that I can't help but smile and tell her to get down. She'll sit back down but keep going back up again. Apparently it's a hilarious little game now to do the thing you're not supposed to do. Unbelievable. She can also follow simple commands which is amazing to me that she understands what we are saying. Crazy I tell ya.
Re: Recent Milestone
We're also aboard the tantrum train, which is just fabulous.....
