When do parents stop saying their babies are 'x' months old and start using years instead? I don't want to be saying Norby is 216 months old when she starts college.
Watch this movie trailer below at the :50-1:00 mark for a funny take on this topic:

I think I found myself speaking the 'months' talk until 2 years of age. Then I noticed I'll just reply, "Oh, he just turned two in March," when they ask the age. As babies, and toddlers/waddlers, every week/month makes a differences when comparing (even though you don't mean to) with other children. Mobile development (ie, rolling over, smiling, tummy time, crawling, walking) all happen in weeks/months as infants. Then as they get closer to two yrs of age, the speech thing becomes important, etc. Just my take ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the insight, Yuni. I thought about why people use these time incriments and came away with the same conclusion- so much happens so quickly that if you talk about how old your kid is in years, you'll have way too much ground to cover in terms of what they've accomplished in that time frame.
