valinator in the front yard
check out my sidebar-- no more adjusted age! i was waiting til their 12 mo. check up for the doc to officially tell me they're all caught up, but i'm sick of looking at it & i think they're caught up enough for me!
some milestones accomplished for Val:
- he crawls on all 4s
- he can sit up by himself
- he can pull to standing & balance there
- he can take a couple steps (he's only done this twice so far, but that counts!)
- he can point, clap & wave
- he can swtich toys from one hand to the other & bang them together
- he can feed himself with his fingers
- drinks from a sippy (but only at meals), & from an open cup (with help)
- kind of says "kitty" (ok, it's really "dee-dee" in their goober-language, but they mean "kitty"!)
some milestones accomplished for Conrad:
- he does a killer army-crawl
- he gets up on all 4s & rocks
- can pull himself to a stand
- can sit up by himself
- he can point, clap & high-five
- he can feed himself with his fingers
- switches toys fm hand to hand, & knocks them together (& againts anything he can find!)
- he can turn the pages of a book
- gives himself a bottle (he hates sippys) & can drink from a cup (with help)
- kind of says "kitty" (yeah, he says "dee-dee" too... i still think it counts as a word!)
they also both cruise the furniture, & know what "no" means, altho they don't say it. no one says "mama" or "dada" yet, but they do long chains of "mamamamama" or "dadadadada." val does it a bit more than con man, but he's working on it. they also both say "ga" for "hi". i have no idea where they got "ga", but they use it consistently & in perfect context for "hi", so maybe that counts as half a word? either way, altho they haven't hit every single milestone 12 mo. olds are supposed to have hit, i think milestones are fairly arbitrary anyways & that there is a range of "normal". so in my non-expert opinion, they are both perfectly normal 12 mo olds & the ticker had to GO!
They sound like they are doing great! There are a few things they are doing that C hasn't even attempted (like pointing).
ReplyDeleteOh new game that PT showed me. Ah ha ha ha it involves a doll (guess you could use a bear or whatever) have them feed the baby with a spoon.
cool- thanks for sharing kim, we'll give it a whirl! :)
ReplyDeletedee dee totally counts for a word! I am so happy they are doing well. :)
ReplyDeletesounds like they are both doing great. When they stand are they able to sit them selfs back down?
ReplyDeleterachel-- val can st back down, conrad can't yet, but he's working on it :)
