LO#2 is rolling, sitting, crawling, and trying to pull up months ahead of LO#1. Big sister is super verbal and was born just shy of 37 weeks though...and LO#2 isn't talking at 8 month so it's hard to know how that'll go. She's noisy and a pretty good communicator in general though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2006810 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 13:54:24 +0000 lamariniere 2006810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. LO1 was on time or early for motor skills. LO2 was ever so slightly slower, but she was also born at 37+2, so I don't know how much that plays into it. However, at 13 months LO2 has way more words than LO1 did at the same age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2006491 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 09:44:42 +0000 Ree723 2006491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! DD2 has been blowing these milestones out of the water! DD1 was on the later end for a lot or her milestones, but that's just her personality - she's always been cautious and wants to know she can do something before she attempts it. DD2 is on the very early end for all of her milestones so far, but again, I think it's just personality. She is a determined baby who wants to keep up with her big sister! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2006090 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 22:29:25 +0000 Mamasig 2006090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Little brother has been slower on all milestones so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2006002 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 21:35:52 +0000 MamaBehr 2006002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! DS#1 has met all his milestones much earlier than DD. So far DS#2 is about in the middle between the older two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2005997 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 21:33:41 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2005997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Motor yes. Verbal no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2005994 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 21:32:58 +0000 autumnlove 2005994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has a lot more words and sentences than LO 1 at the same age but is behind on gross motor skills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2005988 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 21:29:07 +0000 yin 2005988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. So far all of the milestones have been hit a month or two later than DS1. I don't mind because that buys me some time before I have to chase both of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2005984 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 21:27:04 +0000 Andrea 2005984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 was pretty early with her milestones so no, not for everything. DD2 walked at 10 months, though, so she beat big sis at that by a mile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2005903 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:58:48 +0000 Maysprout 2005903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Lo1 was pretty early on all her physical milestones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2005893 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:54:40 +0000 matador84 2005893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes so far, unless teeth is a milestone. Was holding head up, sitting up, crawling, cruising, almost walking probably 2 months earlier for each milestone than DS. And he was pretty spot on with his milestones too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2005847 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:40:36 +0000 littleblessings 2005847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far yes LO2(H) is reaching milestones faster than LO1(S) did. S started sitting up at 8 months, H at 5. S was crawling at 9 mos, H at 6. S walked at 12mos and 3 days, H at 10mos and 5 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2005839 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:38:08 +0000 MrsRcCar 2005839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E has to chase N. So physically yes but other milestones not so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2005834 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:36:13 +0000 regberadaisy 2005834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@creativemomma15: haha uh oh! Big sister does the same. The second she starts crying she goes "oh no, baby sister crying!" and she runs to bring her her toys. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2005833 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:34:51 +0000 creativemomma15 2005833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Nope! She was so entertained by DS and he brought her everything she needed &amp; wanted. She only started truly crawling in the last month and she turned 1 last week. But now that's she's crawling she is cruising, pulling up and trying to stand by herself. It's like a switch went off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2005828 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:32:29 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2005828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all true so far haha. I was getting worried but she caught up quickly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-second-child-reach-all-milestones-quicker#post-2005780 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:30:00 +0000 regberadaisy 2005780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone always said the second child reaches milestones quicker. Was this true for you? </p>
