My kid still isn't...

[sugarkissed]

Saying words. (Maybe 3)
Sleeping through the night.

[jessila]

-Standing independently
-getting to standing without pulling up
-walking independently

[alayne926]

Walking long distances

Saying more than 3 or 4 real words

Going to anyone but me when I'm around

[holliberry28]

Saying words.
Identifying body parts.
Climbing on things.

[periwinkledaydreams]

Sleeping through the god forsaken night.

[jessila]

Identifying body parts is supposed to be happening?! Pssh. Not doing that either. Nor is climbing.

[stinybean]

Not identifying body parts and doesn't know animal sounds, someone said the dr asked that

[heartofglass]

Saying more than 3 words

STTN

Eating any variety of foods

Going to sleep on his own

[pghtruelove]

Going to sleep without nursing/being rocked.
Not freaking out whenever someone walks further than 5 feet away from her.
Eating normal sized meals.

[erbear]

I think body parts are 18 months? Seriously the belly button book is amazing and also head shoulders knees and toes.

She's not saying words or sttn consistently. Maybe once a Month. She's also not eating any meats (I got a veggie! Ranch flavored broccoli from Birds Eye).

[periwinkledaydreams]

Oh right. Not falling asleep without screaming/flailing/pinching/pushing her fingers and toes into everything they can touch? while being held/rocked/straight-jacketted by arms and then carefully placed into the crib an hour later when she's finalluy rag-doll asleep.

Oh yeah, also not falling asleep by himself. Pretty much anything that involves normal, good sleep isn't happening here.

So much this.

[jillywilly]

We are also not really saying/knowing body parts over here. H got really weird about this a week or so ago, so after three nights of repeatedly pointing out noses I think he finally figured that out. Maybe.
Also no animal sounds really. He moo's at every animal he sees. We're working on teaching him that different animals make different sounds currently.
Eating can be hit or miss still as well. Most of what he eats is us shoving food in his mouth as he runs by. I don't know why we have a high chair some days.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Taking a nap on her own. We finally mastered falling asleep on her own for bedtime but naps are like a totally different planet.

[ashbash]

Falling asleep without being rocked

Talking (finally saying some sounds reliably and a few signs)

Having more than 4 teeth

[mrsdee1982]

Walking more than a few steps without assistance and bribery.

Stringing together words. She can say more, and she can say please. But she cannot say more please. Not sure when that is supposed to happen though.

Eating consistently. Somedays she'll eat like a bear preparing for hibernation. But most days I consider a lunch of 2 Cheerios and 1 grape a sold meal with her.

[belle0720]

Sleeping through the night. Well she was for a while, and then she wasn't, and then she was again for a while and now she isn't again.

Last night my H said she was crying so he went into her room. She was sitting up crying and then let out a fart, stopped crying, let out a bigger fart and then grabbed her paci and laid down back to sleep. LOL. Maybe gas pains are waking her up? Maybe it's teething? I have no idea.

This is us to a T. We'll have a week of sleep, and then a few nights where he must be teething/gassy/having bad dreams/not wanting to sleep/whatever. Then we'll have sleep again. Right now we're in what I think is molar hell. I can't wait for it to be over.

Don't worry guys. You will all soon be fearing for the wellbeing of your corneas 30 times a day before you know it.

I taught him to "find mommy's eyebrows." Much safer.

[wegrowsheep]

Not going to sleep on his own.
Not being careful when he wants to run. (so much falling down)
Not many words beyond Momma, Daddy, and a handful of noises (for awhile everything made a tractor noise. Even kitties.)

[turtle]

A is not:
naming body parts
talking beyond dada, mama and turtle (DH taught him, not me!)
sitting long enough for me to read him a book (this one makes me sad)
5000 other things I worry about but can't think of when i actually sit down to write this list

[mirage86]

Not walking more than a couple steps
Not eating anything but hot dogs and sometimes noodles or grapes
Not gaining weight. I have a feeling this one is going to be consistent until he's a teenager.
Not weaning. He demands to be nursed about five times a day.

[heartofglass]

mirage86 I'm still with you on the hot dogs. It's the only thing he will consistently eat, along with cheese.

[belle0720]

mirage86 +1 on not weaning. We had gotten down to 2 times/day and I thought she was going to start weaning. But the past couple of weeks she wants to nurse allll the time! She constantly sticks her hand in my shirt and pokes me in the chest going "Muh Muh! Muh Muh!" (the outcome of us trying to teach her to say Milk)

[dogmama22]

He is not displaying any regard for his personal safety
Not saying anything other than "dog" on a regular basis
Not sleeping through the early morning hours without nursing (by technical standards he STTN)
Not going to bed at a reasonable time 5 out of 7 days/ week

[Deleted]

not STTN.
Not weaning. +1 to the sticking her hand down my shirt

[musicfrk2002]

Saying words other than "that" "dada" and "eat"
Climbing
Identifying body parts
Using things as a phone (everyone else his age I see has done this it seems)
Using a fork/spoon while eating. He will just pull it off his plate and look at it distastefully and then throw it on the floor. Sometimes will set it on his tray.
Using a straw or a 360 cup. Regular sippies only here
Waving
Watching where he is walking. He watches his feet instead. I watched him run right into a parked car yesterday.

[kemdupuis]

B doesn't have any words or animal sounds yet. Though he can consistently make truck noises.

Have any variety in his food choices. He used to eat everythingggg. Now all he wants is fruit, yogurt, and sometimes rotisserie chicken or eggs.
