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.

Hi mm, poor family of sickies, I hope that awful stuff passes soon and I all get back to normal.

Well we both made it to work but I have my doubts about David being able to make it all day. He finally got some sleep last night though. Quinten woke up 3 times in the middle of the night (I opened his door when I went to bed) I had a few coughing spells after getting woken up each time.

Good morning I'm glad to hear that Sophie is doing better, and also that she had a good time with his grandma, it makes it easier on you too!

monkeymamma - Friday, 28 Jan
I'm thinking of actually going to the doc. This is just aweful. A nice big shot in the butt would suit me right now. I seem to respond better to shots.

3girls2008 - Friday, 28 Jan

Morning! I am having my second leg procedure done this morning at 10:30. Last night my first leg was hurting so badly...just like it use to, but I couldn't take anything because of the procedure today.

monkeymamma - Friday, 28 Jan
