He's 23 months. Kekekeke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-104006 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:59:03 +0000 Mrsbells 104006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once my child is a year old I'll stop counting their age in months. To me its easier to count in years and months, rather than in months alone </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103874 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:52:38 +0000 joyjoy 103874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aunt pol: I literally stood there trying to see if I did my math wrong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103572 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 06:38:22 +0000 looch 103572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably age 2, only because I am used to thinking in clothing sizes and those are up to 24 months then 2T. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103557 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 05:44:37 +0000 pastemoo 103557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The doctor's office counts until 24 months and then switches to years + months until age 18. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103551 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 05:26:48 +0000 MsMamaBear 103551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll stop at 60 months.</p> <p>LMAO Just playing, stopping at 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103545 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 04:00:05 +0000 aunt pol 103545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@joyjoy: I don't think you were the confused one:)<br /> @NYCaliMama: That makes sense alright. Most other people don't really care that much!<br /> To be honest when you start getting to "27 months" etc I think it sounds a little bit silly. Even clothes are measured in years at that stage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103502 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:19:58 +0000 BoogieBea 103502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped after 2. Computing to months just took longer to do after that so I stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103501 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:01:35 +0000 cyndistar3 103501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped at about a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103500 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:01:05 +0000 daniellemybelle 103500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a LO, but I feel 18 months is a good stopping point? Even though I love all things babies, as a non-parent I cringe a teensy bit when I hear someone refer to their child as 20-something months old. I much prefer "one and X months" as many of you have said. It doesn't sound so much like you are trying to keep your toddler a baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103496 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:50:13 +0000 MsMini 103496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would stop making sense to me around when they turn 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103474 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:02:34 +0000 SAHM0811 103474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When talking to parents of young kids or people around young kids a lot (teachers, etc), I'll say months until 18 months... sometimes til 2 years old. To the general public, I stop after 1! If they need further clarification, I'll do what Rubies said (1 year and x months). It makes it simpler for people and myself too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103471 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:00:43 +0000 teaberry 103471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll probably stop at 2? And that's likely only because I'm following clothing size numbers... I am now at the point where the weekly newsletters I receive remind me of how many months + weeks my LO is; I'm not aware of it otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103466 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 21:50:54 +0000 joyjoy 103466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TBH, I never understood the month thing past 1 (though I can get on board with 1 + X months). LO isn't here yet, so maybe that's why?</p> <p>A few years ago I asked a coworker how old her son was and she replied, "18 months." I say, "Oh! He's a year and a half already!" And she says, "No. He's 18 months." I was so confused. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103426 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:49:20 +0000 heffalump 103426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ill probably stop at 1. I stopped early with weeks too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103422 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:47:26 +0000 mrs. wagon 103422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: @Rubies: that's exactly what I used! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103417 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:43:23 +0000 Andrea 103417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I will stop when she turns 2. That seems to be how it works with clothing sizes. Before 2, they quote months but afterwards it just seems to be 2, 3, 4, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103415 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:39:08 +0000 chopsuey 103415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Okay I like your idea. Will just count til 13 months old since it's easy math for people. Then will do the year + 2 months. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103414 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:38:22 +0000 chopsuey 103414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Not gonna lie--it took a few seconds for me to do the math. Eek! I think I'll stop when she turns 2.<br /> @mrs. wagon: HAHA. I forget how old I am all the time.. :P<br /> I'll probably do the same--give the year + how many months? That's what I do when people ask how long we've been married! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103413 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:37:50 +0000 Rubies 103413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think after LO turns one, I'll say "She's a year and three months...a year and 10 months...She's two. She's two and 5 months...etc." And I'll probably stop doing that at age 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103411 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:36:24 +0000 mrs. wagon 103411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hehe... I have already lost count! I think I lost count when he turned 2. Now I have to count from December (his birth month) to say he's 2 and ... 3 months. Haha. </p> <p>I also have no idea how old I am. My mom had to correct me on the phone the other day. So maybe it's just me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103408 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:34:27 +0000 Mrs. Bee 103408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I will stop at 2 1/2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-didwill-you-stop-counting-months#post-103407 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:33:55 +0000 chopsuey 103407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so happy I can finally say my LO is ONE! I'll probably say "she just turned 1" until she's 13 months. :P </p> <p>I have no idea when I'll stop counting months, but I'm pretty sure I'll stop before LO turns 3? </p>
