My daughter isn't there yet. She understands some things, like "Where's your owl?" She then looks up and goes and get's her stuffed owl animal toy she loves, sometimes when it's in another room.

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Yeah - I bought two back up "leos" because I think they got discontinued, and put them in the media center behind a glass door. Never showed them to him before. Leo has tags on him (taggies) and my son found a tag somewhere on a different toy about 2-3 weeks ago and he does a certain "I found a tag" noise and I said "yeah buddy, its got a tag like leo. Where's Leo?" (knowing Leo was upstairs).
Cue the jaw drop when he stopped what he was doing, crawled across the room, opened the media center door and took one of the back up leos out.
Grats!
Daughter is now 1. She is walking, fast. She is eating the same dinners that we have most of the time. She's teething and currently has two that have broken through. Currently I'm waiting for her to start talking. I think she's said a few words but her saying "Bubble" and "Bird" have come out really rough and it's like "Did she say...eeeeeeh maybe!" She does say "Nana" "Mama" "Dada" a lot but everything used to be "dada" too.

It's fascinating how differently girls and boys develop. My son is almost a year old(birthday is next week), isn't talking at all other than "ma-ma"(just babbles nonsense otherwise) but has 8 teeth already(and 1 more working it's way in) and has been eating the same dinners as us for a good month or two. The only things we avoid giving him are anything REALLY spicy, but he's done fine with taco meat, fajita meat(both chicken and steak), etc. No walking yet, but can use walking toys really well, but can only balance on his own for about 10 seconds before he plops down.

Our daughter is 9 months and just started to babble a week ago. No real words yet but it was like someone turned on a switch and she started to do it constantly.
She is not walking yet but we can tell she is getting frustrated that she can't move around so we've beefed up tummy time considerably to see if she'll crawl before she walks. Our doctor doesn't have a problem if she walks before she crawls. When we hold her up she will shuffle her feet to "walk" and is lifting her feet up a little bit but not a lot; you can tell she is still learning to balance herself. If we prop her up on a couch or a standing toy she has no problem standing on her own for ~10 minutes at a time. When we have her sitting in the crib or park and play, she will grab onto the side and pull herself up to her knees, sometimes one knee and one foot down, but then she kind of stops and doesn't know what to do next.
Food was a problem at first but again, it was like a switch went off in her and she went from resisting any food that wasn't pureed to eating everything we put in front of her. Ground beef/turkey, cheese, chicken, macaroni noodles, puffs, crackers, rice cakes, etc. Kid is a damn vacuum of food these days.

Most frustrating part about food, but it makes sense, is my 1 year old son gets tired of foods. So he used to love Chobani greek yogurts, and then he'll go a week or so, and not want any of them. Doesn't mean we don't have 15 of them in the fridge thinking he would eat at least one every day. haha
We don't grind up anything anymore for him. He tried steak the other day and liked it, and he likes A1 sauce. haha
Been walking since 10-11 months, and he is for sure fast now. Until you put shoes on him, and he doesn't know what the heck is going on! It's going to be very weird to see the difference between boy and girl.
Can't wait!

Yeah we try to rotate food so she doesn't get sick of something. She gets one pouch of this stuff a nightHappy Baby Pouches | Protein, Veggie, Fruit and Supergrains for Babyplus some of whatever we are eating for dinner.
my wife did just buy some yogurt at the store yesterday so we'll see how she likes that.

My just turned 2 year old is going through an indecisive stage. I'll offer her a snack off a banana, fishie crackers or apple sauce and she stares and stares, totally unable to decide what she wants. She does this with movies too. It is super cute; she has this little brow furrow while she concentrates.
And he speech went from pretty decent to a vocabulary of hundreds of words and speaking in sentences in just a couple weeks. So cool to watch that switch flip for them. Of course she is still difficult to understand a lot of the time, but still pretty cool.

My daughter has been eating real food for a solid two months, but we prepped her meals separately. Now we just cut off of some of our dinner.
My kid was sitting up and was pretty sturdy at a very young age. She start to pull herself up to standing at like 4-5 months. She started to cruise around at 7ish months? She finally started to crawl at like 10 months and was walking at 11.
To get her to walk, I would hold her hips with my hands where my thumbs were infront of her on her stomach, while my fingers were behind her legs. This way I was able to use my fingers to push her legs into a walking motion and use my thumbs to hold/push her upper body up if she started to want to crawl.
Essentially i performed baby boot camp to get her walking.
My daughter picked up on drinking right away. She could sip from a my glass of water at like 4-5 months. She took right to her sippy cup and used a straw the first time.
So odd not having to see her learn that, she just did it.

Jealous, happy when I can get my 2 y/o son to eat anything more than chips/crackers/fruit or yogurt pouches/etc.
Next month we're going to start taking him to day care 3 days a week and hoping peer pressure helps reform his eating habits.

Our kiddo can only use the type of straws that come on like water bottles, the big thick rubber ones. Mainly because his first instinct is to bite the hell out of them while he also tries to drink from them. Regular plastic disposable straws just don't work at all, he just obliterates the end of them, chewing them up. The little child camelback bottles work great though for our kid.

That's exactly what we need to get!!! And ya, he did it once, on accident, but it was some Sprite soda (ya ya... parent of the year? lol) and he got a funny face. Don't think he's ever had anything carbonated before.
Then after that in the same meal, he would do it again, but only get the Sprite about half way up the straw before giving up.
Going to order up a few of those and see if they work out any better. Thanks joeboo!
