Your toddler: 18 months old
At a year and a half old, your baby has become a definite little person with a growing vocabulary (that sometimes only you can understand), tons of likes and dislikes (which seem to change hourly) and lots and lots and (seriously") lots of energy. It can be a bit of a turbulent time, as 18-month-olds are caught between wanting independence (?Me-do!?) and needing the warm reassurance and safety of your arms. While you may feel a bit wistful for those sweet baby days, it?s also exciting to see your kiddo?s personality becoming clearer, not to mention all the ri-dic-u-lous toddler stuff.

An age-by-age guide to what your kid can (and should) do right now
Your 18-month check-up is an important one that covers lots of ground, so be prepared for it to take longer than others. In addition to checking your baby?s overall health, your healthcare provider will be asking questions to see how they are growing and developing. They?ll be looking to see if your toddler can:
Identify pictures in a book (?Show me the bird?)
Use a variety of gestures, like waving and reaching up
Follow directions like ?on? and ?under?
Point to three different body parts when asked
Use at least four consonant sound...
