The developmental milestones thread---what did your baby do today? :)

[Shadowy Lady]

ok I just discovered this thread and love it

Sofia likes to snack on cheerio's as she watches me cook, wash dishes,...Today I was sitting next to her as she was inhaling her cheerios and asked her to give me one and opened my mouth. She put the cheerio in my mouth and started clapping for herseld once I told her she was the sweetest thing!

I guess she has learned the concept of sharing!!! She did the same for daddy at the dinner table

 

[Shadowy Lady]

Oh and one more: she said "mama" in context first time on Mothers Day!!! She had said the word many time before but first time she held her arms up to me and said it. Then again today daddy was holding her when I came out of the shower. She turned around, same me and said "mama" again.

So happy her first word was mama and even happier she said it first on Mothers Day.

Does throwing everything she gets her hands on into the toilet count as a milestone?

What about unrolling the toilet paper into a huge pile? Cuz that was mastered months ago in this house.....*sniff*

My daughter went from sitting to her tummy without faceplanting today

My little girl (15 months) said pteradactyl today! And in context too! haha she has such a big vocabulary for her age and I'm soo proud!

... in what context can pterodactyl be said? "Today I went to the park and I saw a pterodactyl"?

Sorry, joking aside, honestly what context did you mean? Totally curious.

She has a toy pterodactyl, and I said where is your pterodactyl, she went and got it, put it on my lap, and said tebadactyl. In that context lol

But what is a pterodactyl? Is it a dinosaur? I am totes confused!

Yeah it's a flying dinosaur

I think we can all agree that repeating sounds is different than saying a word in context. I'm not sure a baby could conceive of a flying dinosaur, much less talk about one.

No need to be like that. Is it so unbelievable that one of her favourite toys is a pterodactyl and she knows how to say the word? She also says caterpillar and helicopter, don't believe that either? I only did what every other mother has done and written something my child has done that made me proud. I am sorry if I offended anyone! Like someone else said, it's just like pointing out any other object so why wouldn't you think she is saying it in context and just repeating sounds? If she sees a plane in the sky she points up and says helicopter, fair enough its a plane but it still makes me proud, so please stop making me doubt her, because I never will.

Sorry! I didn't mean to be combative. It didn't even occur to me that a child would/could have a toy pterodactyl.

Its fine, that was aimed at the person that said there was a difference between using words in context and copying sounds

 

[lollipop92]

Haha! That was you! Lol, sorry, just thought you were being mean my bad x

 

[Noelle610]

Haha! That was you! Lol, sorry, just thought you were being mean my bad x

LOL, it's so hard to get a tone accross on the internet!

Sorry if I was sounding bitchy.

Naw, Noelle isn't mean. She was genuinely curious like the rest of us

Proud moments ahoy! Don't hesitate to share more with us, K?

 

[staralfur]

She's started saying "mamamama" when she cries or wants up. I'll take it! She hadn't even made an 'm' sound until a few days ago so hopefully we're getting close to a proper "mama".

Millie loves us to hold her in a standing position but she has never stepped. Today we were at baby clinic, she saw a 1 year old boy walking holding his mummy's hand.. I was holding her in a standing position and she started taking steps!

 

[Jaxvipe]

Avi said "mama" twice yesterday!

 

[Damita]

Lil pulled herself up

 

[Pixie19]

Logan is getting more confident taking steps to the point where if hes standing, he'd rather walk to his toys then crawl

Ok thanks. Sorry for taking it the wrong way, I shouldn't have. Rough time at the moment lol x

 

[jodilee6]

LO has started standing unaided and giving himself a clap! We really should stop clapping every new thing he does!!

He also peed all over the floor this evening and then splashed around in it for a few minutes until i realised what he was doing.......!
