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.

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

Not really. She's almost 13 months, but she isn't walking. She just stood up on her own this morning.

D's 15 months but still not walking independntly. I still hestitate to call him a toddler.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yep! Since she was already walking made it easier to think of her that way.

LO was an early walker so he was walking by the time he was 12 months, so I considered him a toddler.

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!

@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.

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!

I didn't. At 16 months, my son is still my baby!

LO is 14 months and not walking so despite her tantrums she's still my baby.

LO was racing around the house at 12 months so yes, I started calling him a toddler. But he'll always be my baby...
