Your baby, 31 months 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 and older

Your child will most likely show an interest in other special adults. Of course, you are still your child's number one, but other adults that are special to her make her world interesting, special and fun. Encourage your child to develop strong relationships with grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and other special adults. Your child needs these special relationships and every one of those people has something different that they can teach your child.

Your child can probably say his full name well now. Language is quickly developing and your child is learning about fifty new words each and every month. Your child is able to make four or five word sentences. Rather than speaking in third person, your child now says `I` instead of his name when he is talking about himself.

Have you noticed that your little one is beginning to tell fibs? Your child is beginning to learn the difference between reality and make-beleive. Sometimes this may come across as lying. Although your child does not realize he is lying and often makes up things that are not correct, he needs you to teach him right from wrong. When your child tells you something that is not true, make sure understands that he is telling a story. Tell him that you do not like when he tells you things that are not true and avoid calling him a liar.

Your child has probably had a developmental assessment to check his development. Assessments compare your child's level of developmental achievement with other children of similar age and abilities. Even though each child is different, young children learn and develop new skills at approximately the same age. Assessments allow you and your child's doctor to recognize problems early and treat them early. Gross motor and fine motor skills will be assessed, as will self-help skills, social, emotional, cognitive and language development.

Even young children can begin helping around the house. Give your child responsiblities and simple chores that he can accomplish on his own. Your child is capable of putting his own toys away, putting dirty clothes in the hamper, unloading clothes from the dryer, unpacking and putting away unbreakable groceries, dusting, setting the table and making his bed. Let your child help you sort the laundry into whites vs. colored clothes. You can also let your child help with simple dinner preparation and gardening.

druash - Tuesday, 22 Sep

my older boys are driving me nuts lately.. no mater how many times i say shhhhhhhhhhhh to my younger boy who is 6 years old, he still keeps coming into my room where the baby is sleeping and talking really loud and keeps waking her up..i feel like i finally get her to sleep and someone wakes her up as soon as i get her to sleep and i'm starting to get really exhausted and frustrated..

EricaT31 - Monday, 21 Sep
1honeymoonbaby i fed my kids solids at 2 months of age.. i was nursing them like every hour so the doc told me to do that.. he was an older doc... now i have a different one.. but before i went back to him my midwife told me to wait at least 4 months with this one.. i won't be waiting till 6 months.. i have a bigger baby and she already turns her head if she doesn't want milk or will scream if she doesn't want me and just wants a soother..so she can already tell me if she is full

1honeymoonbaby - Monday, 21 Sep

druash - Monday, 14 Sep
hope everyone is doing good!

tanya-gil - Thursday, 10 Sep
yeah, to try and get her used to it. And now that I have reintroduced she is a pro! She sees it coming and opens her mouth and everything. It's absolutely the cutest thing ever. I use those spoons with the soft rubber spoon, I haven't used those plastic ones yet.

druash - Thursday, 10 Sep
tanya-gil--- you are giving it with a spoon?

tanya-gil - Thursday, 10 Sep
druash-- I was giving Trinacy cereal for a few weeks and one day she pushed the spoon away so I didn't give her any and that was the first night she slept the whole night. After a week she got back into a habit of waking up just for 2 oz, so I reintroduced cereal 2 nights ago and she slept about 12 hrs each night.

druash - Thursday, 10 Sep
i have been giving him cereal during the night also, but it doesnt seem to really help at all... but i am scared if he doesnt have the cereal then he would get up every hour or so

trinity - Wednesday, 9 Sep
Druash I with you. Esme wakes every 2 to 3hrs. I think about 5 times she has slept 4 to 5hrs at a time.I was debating about giving her one bottle of formula a day to thicken her bms. Are any one elses baby poop through there clothes most every time they go? I am so tired of having to change everything every time she goes.

tanya-gil - Wednesday, 9 Sep
Every baby is different. I think if he isn't sleeping through the night, he will start when he starts eating baby food. We've only got a few more months til then. Trinacy has slept the night a few nights, but hasn't been consistent.

druash - Wednesday, 9 Sep
everyones babies seem to be sleeping soo much more during the night than eli..since he has been born the most i have gotten is about 5 hours in a row... but that was only one night :( . He still gets up every 2-3 hours to feed

1honeymoonbaby - Tuesday, 8 Sep
I want a mommy make over!!! i'm super hungry and super tired... my DS has been sleeping 9 hours the past 3 nights... i'm sure it won't last... but I could still nap in between eating... maybe i need to busy myself...

EricaT31 - Monday, 7 Sep
1honeymoonbaby lol you should see my stretch marks.. this was my third baby and with each pregnancy the stretch marks took off from where they were last so they kept getting bigger everytime. my stomach looks like a road map! no bikini's in my future lol as for my weight, my midwife's weigh scales say i have 10 lbs to lose and my mothers say i have 3 so i don't know really which is right but i do know i can get back into my clothes. but they are a bit more snug than i would like.. i don't know if i will ever lose the roll on the stomach this time.. the skin looks so stretched.. time will tell!

EricaT31 - Monday, 7 Sep
my baby doesn't like the care seat either unless she has her soother and we are driving lol.. she is doing so much now. she is grabbing at her toys and talking to them all the time and she is starting to sleep for 8 hours at night! i never had a baby do that for me so it is nice..

druash - Monday, 7 Sep
my LO also hates the car seat but seems to be getting a little better
