During the 12- 18 Month stage your toddler should
master the very important milestone of learning to walk. Gross motor
development will move quickly during these few months. Your toddler is now
becoming independent and will develop his own interests and toy preferences.
With his new found independence your toddler's interest in self feeding and
dressing will increase. Your toddler is now able to isolate his pointer finger
and play with toys using both his right and left hand. He will begin to stack 2
or more cubes, place pegs in a pegboard, and place a circle in the right place
of a puzzle board. You’ll be delighted as your toddler indicates the first
signs of pretend play such as bringing a bottle to a doll’s mouth. Interest and
attention for books will increase and your toddler will want to turn the pages
himself. Your toddler should have some words in his vocabulary and will be
responding to simple requests. Your baby will love to be the center of
attention during this stage and will begin to give you hugs and kisses.
