subject: Baby Toddler - The Development Cycle [print this page] As your baby develops through the first years of their life, you might be overwhelmed with how many changes occur in your child each day. The baby toddler years are fraught with a constant evolution as she learns something new each day. From first words to first steps, there are many joyous milestones to celebrate. Since so much can change each and every day, it can be easy to miss certain achievements. It"s a good idea to know what to expect developmentally as your baby becomes a toddler and begins exploring even more.
Around 16 months is when your baby is considered a toddler. She"ll begin to turn pages of a book while you read to her, start to walk really well, begin to sing, and will start to express frustration over her limitations. These are important milestones to look for. 17 months is when your toddler should be enjoying a toy that she can ride and like playing games with you. There will be much more exploring going on as well, which you can expect basically from here on out. At 18 months, you"ll be proud to see your toddler drawing a scribble and hear her say around 15 to 20 words. Soon, her vocabulary will start to grow exponentially each day.
Between 19 and 20 months, she"ll start to feed herself, run, brush her teeth with some help, and take off her own clothes without help. At 21 months, her vocabulary will be growing by 5 words each day. Your toddler will also begin walking up stairs pretty well. The next few months, you"ll see her start to imitate people, hear her form 3 to 4 word sentences, name pictures in books, and name body parts. There are so many wonderful things to see your child doing in the baby toddler years.
