At 17 Months Old Spear is doing everything a toddler his age should be able to do including:
- use 2 words (“bye-bye”, “bible” are both very CLEAR)
- drink from a cup
He is also doing the one thing a 17 month old will probably be able to do which is build a tower of 2 cubes.
He is only doing one of the things a toddler his age may possibly be able to do and that’s “feed” a doll (Spear is awesome at imitation play!)
He is not yet:
- walking up steps
- removing an article of clothing (unless shoes count b/c kid LOVES to take of his dang shoes)
Spear is doing one of the things a
He is not yet able to:
- build a tower of 4 cubes
- identify 2 items in a picture by pointing
- combine words
- speak and be understood half the time
