18 Month Old Milestones
Month 18
“Look mom, no hands I can walk on my own”
Look, I can pull this toy
WHILE WALKING
With help I can
undress myself
Steps are fun but watch ME RUN
I can drink from a cup
I like to share and hand things to you for playtime
Uh oh, I’m having temper tantrums
Watch out, I may be afraid of strangers
But I’ll still show aection to familiar people
Let’s play pretend and feed dolly
I can say a few single words
Now I shake my head when I say “no”
I’m getting clingy to you in new situations
Look over there, I point to interesting things
I’m an explorer but still want my parents close by
