At 16 months, my son is still my baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1593179 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 13:10:23 +0000 rrachael 1593179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think of her as a toddler now because she's walking/ running, wanting to be independent with things and saying lots of words (as opposed to not saying any words ;) ). She's 16 months. Prior to having kids though, I always thought of toddlers as being two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1593166 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 13:07:34 +0000 cascademom 1593166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotofamilia: I know what you mean. Even though he's 20 months old, there's still something about him that's a bit baby-ish. I can still pick him up. He can do two word sentences, but he has his own language for certain words. It still feels very baby to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1593157 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 13:04:43 +0000 sotofamilia 1593157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No...he's walking and throwing mini tantrums, but he's still a baby to me. I think I won't consider him a true toddler until he's 18 months - two years old. I don't want to rush it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1593149 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 13:03:08 +0000 littlek 1593149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was an early walker so he was walking by the time he was 12 months, so I considered him a toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1593130 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 13:00:13 +0000 Smurfette 1593130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Since she was already walking made it easier to think of her that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1593100 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:53:05 +0000 Greentea 1593100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She'll always be a baby to me :silly: she is ten months and walking on her own already... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1593069 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:46:18 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1593069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the toddling=toddlers school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1593061 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:44:45 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1593061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For DD1, yes became she had been walking for 2 months by the time she turned 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1593047 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:42:03 +0000 Sparkler 1593047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LOs walked very early, so even though they were walking, they were still very much babies. I wouldn't call them toddlers until closer to a year when their personality is more prevalent, even though they had been walking for 3-5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1592955 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:18:25 +0000 preggomeggo82 1592955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always considered babies to be toddlers when they start walking. I see them still to be babies at a year, for the most part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1592899 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:04:34 +0000 Canoli 1592899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Regardless of what a 12 month old is doing it just seems so young to call them a toddler. Although I'm not really sure at what age I consider them toddlers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1592892 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:01:32 +0000 cascademom 1592892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. At 12 months old, all of his toddlerisms emerged. He started walking, showing lots of independence, etc. He became a toddler right away then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1592814 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 11:37:39 +0000 travellingbee 1592814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 13 month old can run, kick a ball, feed himself, climb stairs...and throw some serious tantrums. So yeah. He doesn't seem like a baby at all anymore. Makes me so sad. I thought I'd have longer. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1592811 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 11:37:00 +0000 littlebug 1592811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D's 15 months but still not walking independntly. I still hestitate to call him a toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1592802 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 11:35:13 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1592802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. She's almost 13 months, but she isn't walking. She just stood up on her own this morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1592754 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 11:23:24 +0000 NovBaby1112 1592754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a toddler is when they start "toddling" :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1592748 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 11:22:20 +0000 mrs. wagon 1592748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe... I switch from infant to toddler whenever they start consistently walking on their own. And then of course the tantrums start... that's when I start labeling them as the "Terrible Twos" even if they're still one ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1592736 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 11:19:33 +0000 sorrycharlie 1592736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't! O wasn't walking til 15+ months so I didn't consider her a toddler really til like..maybe 14 months earliest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-consider-your-lo-a-toddler-at-12-months#post-1592731 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 11:17:54 +0000 autumnlove 1592731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did for LO 1 but LO 2 is still a baby in my eyes! She isn't very mobile so I probably won't consider her a toddler until she crawls, scoots, walks or throws a ridiculous tantrum. :P </p>
