Happy 16 month Birthday!
In terms of learning new things, I think this past month has been a slow month. She tries to speak new words like blankey, book etc. but she hasn't really said anything new on a consistent basis. Regardless, we are love her and very proud of her!
16 month stats:
Weight: 22.6 lbs
(no height measurement, I'll get to it one day)
She can roll/throw a ball, play and do the actions for Ring-around-the-Rosey, climb stairs and run!
To give you an idea where she is developmentally, at 16 months:
Most toddlers should be able to . . .
Turn pages of a book when you read - DONE Gets attached to stuffed animal or other object - Teddy and Eddy Walk well - DONE Sing and like to sing - DONE Get upset when frustrated - DONE
Some toddlers will probably be able to . . .
Walk backwards - haven't tried it but she can twirl in a circle Start to climb and explore - DONE Help around the house - sort of Say up to 10 or 15 words - probably a bit less than 10
Some toddlers could possibly be able to . . .
Become picky about certain foods - NO Take off an article of clothing without help - DONE Separation anxiety lessens - not really an issue although she doesn't like to be in a room by herself Dance to music - DONE Trot and prance around - not really sure what this means
This month I plan on trying to expand her vocabulary and go down the stairs on her bum. Also, I would love it if she would try to eat more with her fork and spoon. Right now she loves just using her hands and holding the fork or spoon.
Another month older, another month to celebrate!
