My LO is 14 months old and she is driving me crazy lately. She's just so full on with the personality and opinions and gah, it's really tough! I thought for sure I would have more time before this happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-960722 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 18:28:58 +0000 googly-eyes 960722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say it's more when they are<br /> 12 months +<br /> walking<br /> able to communicate more clearly/has a few words<br /> eating table food<br /> off of bottles and onto sippy cups</p> <p>I don't know if that's the "official" thing..just what comes to mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-960681 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 18:13:25 +0000 Mommytotwois 960681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When is a child no longer a toddler? I refer to my older daughter as a toddler...she is almost 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-948042 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 09:56:05 +0000 GrapeCrush 948042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was full on walking when he was 10 months old, which made me feel like i had a toddler. but i didn't really consider hime one until he turned 1. now that he's throwing tantrums and telling us no(by shaking his head) and being much more opinionated at 14.5 months....he's a toddler!! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-948030 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 09:51:22 +0000 stargal 948030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P is 12 months and is toddler/baby to me. hes getting into everything and does this fake cry/yell that screams toddler. but isn't walking yet (yay!! im in no rush!) and is a cuddly baby... and he will always be my baby even when he's 90. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-948009 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 09:43:12 +0000 sorrycharlie 948009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I agree! </p> <p>Olivia acts like a toddler as far as being opinionated but isn't close to walking. She's 10 months next week, tear!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-948004 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 09:41:22 +0000 Maysprout 948004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like she was in some weird in between stage between 10 months and 15 months or so. She was a competent walker by 10 and a half months and had started baby stepping awhile before that but she was still so much a baby. I agree with @T.H.O.U.: by 18 months there was no question she was a toddler, I think part of that feeling was how much she could do independently then so I started thinking of her less as a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-947776 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 06:08:21 +0000 T.H.O.U. 947776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with one year PLUS walking well. It's crazy how much their personality comes out around 14 months. By 18 months I knew for sure I had a toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-947726 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 02:55:16 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 947726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say 1 yr old PLUS walking. So, if my son was 13m but not walking, I'd consider him a baby. I don't think E will be walking at 1. He is *juust* about to full on crawl at 9m. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-947715 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 02:31:14 +0000 Sweet T 947715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I consider them to be toddlers once they're a year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-947691 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 01:07:02 +0000 sera_87 947691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>See I have a walker at 11 months (started at 9) and he's still so little I feel he's still a baby. He also can't tell me what's wrong or what he wants but good lord he can scream if he doesn't like something. </p> <p>I'd say 12-14 months for toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-947681 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:58:30 +0000 MrsMccarthy 947681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in the same boat over here. Tor has been walking since 9 months and it just feel so much like we have a toddler now. He can run around everywhere and pick things up and throw them and he moves tables large objects around our apartment. I know toddlers are much better at communicating and I have read 1.5 is the official age but I'm sure it feel different for everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-946733 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 15:52:42 +0000 littlek 946733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Wow!! that's impressive, way to go E!<br /> Sounds like you have trouble, i mean a toddler!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-946628 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 15:21:01 +0000 HabesBabe 946628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think once they are walking, they are toddlers. C just turned 1 and she's hardly cruising, so she doesn't get into as much "trouble" as I imagine a toddler would! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-946589 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 15:07:44 +0000 cascademom 946589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Sounds like a toddler. I've got a pre-toddler on my hands. He walks with assistance and cruises all over the place. At the peds yesterday, he stood up on the puff chairs next to the desk. The peds looked at him and said, yep, he'll be walking by his next appointment next month or so at 12 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-946578 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 15:05:16 +0000 LovelyPlum 946578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: go, E, go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-946571 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 15:02:30 +0000 regberadaisy 946571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: WOW!!! Amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-946560 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:58:23 +0000 Running Elley 946560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Yes!!! His record is 16 steps but he was using me to stand up and then taking off all over the place at storytime this morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-946549 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:55:50 +0000 regberadaisy 946549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: is he walking?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-946544 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:54:21 +0000 LovelyPlum 946544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like you have a.toddler on your hands ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-946540 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:53:32 +0000 autumnlove 946540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess not until she was walking at 14.5 months! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-946539 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:52:59 +0000 regberadaisy 946539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think one year old = toddler. I think I considered LO a toddler when she started full on walking at 13 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-946538 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:52:57 +0000 mamimami 946538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote for age 1 regardless of mobility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-toddler#post-946534 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:52:08 +0000 Running Elley 946534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like E is becoming a toddler. He for sure thinks he's one! But he's only 9 months old! He's mobile, opinionated and toddling around all over the place. </p> <p>When did you consider your baby a toddler? </p>
