Kids growth and behavior can be put in stages like between  12-18 months  or between  2-to-2 and a half years .  30months (2years 6months) Kids can start arranging and solving the puzzles with bit of our help. Few kids are really interested in puzzles wherein few till many years also not interested in it. Every kids have different talent and different interest. 31months (2years 7months) My lil one is now out of that baby zone, as she talks full fledgedly though few words are hard to understand.  Few days she makes good shapes out of blocks, And always ready to try whatever comes her way. Somehow she has been a daring one since starting, go near monkeys or run after lizards, walk on thin strips like big kids double her age. Kids learn both positive as well as negative seeing activities of others.

We all were hearing that coronavirus is spreading in China, within span of a month from January, 2020 it started effecting all the corners of the world. The first case of Coronavirus Covid 19 was detected in China, in the city of Wuhan. There were different news coming up about its spread which actually occurred in December, 2019 itself.

Give them ample opportunity to develop their skills, for which we have to be really engaged with them. Few kids play on their own, wherein most of the kids want people to be near around.

18 - 24 month baby growth, development and milestones

Image
Kids are truly Gods gift. There's so much to cherish about them. Every kid is different and unique in their own way. Toddlers are when they start walking around 1 year to 3 years. Its a great phase for their cognitive, physical and various skill development. My lil one took her first few steps during her  10months , and many a activities like running, talking few words, scribbling started by  1 year  . 18 months (1year 6month) Mostly babies can repeat all the words, mine one repeats all the words we speak. Took her to the swimming pool, she enjoyed water a lot, splashing  it while she was sitting on pool stairs. She was uncomfortable if I carried her in water, as her feet was not on ground. By now, she knows all the colors which we introduced to her. Knows most of the body parts , Knows all the objects/ pictures in her books. Sings 'Rain Rain go away' and 'Twinkle lil star', 'Ba ba black sheep.  Most of the kids are crazy after animals and so is mine.

12 - 18 months baby Growth Milestones

 Story of baby after 1 year - Toddler Toddlers are super duper fast learner. You feel like they are not catching up, but in actual they observe and grasp things what they hear, feel and see around. Though few things they might not react/ show up immediately but sooner or later they do present it. Especially as they grow- if you laugh they will laugh, if they hear shouting they too will shout, if you get angry on them they too express back by throwing things/pulling/ pushing what's with them.  They too sometimes get possessive about their mom or dad or favorite things like toys or spoon glass. During this phase, many a times my munchkin walks or runs on her tiptoes. Her food habit changed every quarterly, initially used to sit peacefully in highchair and eat. Then became fuzzy so started eating by watching rhymes in phone. Then after 3 months, want to play talk and eat which takes around 1 hr for every meal.  By now, She loves to walk independently, as she started walking without su

Baby Growth Activity 7 -12 months

Babies are the God gift. One may get exhausted after them but then the fun in seeing their activities is just heart melting. My initial 6 months with the baby was an easy phase, babies are on bed sleeping or rolling as they don't move around. 7 month During her 7th month, she was crawling fast, sitting, standing with support and even try to raise her feet to grab any object kept on table/sofa. She still loves tags and goes for it to play and till now all the tags have gone in her mouth. When I clapped, she observed then after 2-3 days, she started clapping and her face was wondering with happiness and seemed like an achievement. She observes everything very carefully and tries to imitate within 3-4 days or sometimes on the spot. Then once she saw my hubby making sound of car motor by mouth, then she started making motor sound that too with her lips vibrating 🤣 In terms of height she meets the parameters, milestones she's reaching beforehand though her weight has been towards
