Baby Developmental Milestones at 19-21 Months

Your 19-month-old is becoming quite the little child. She can run well, which is both very healthy for the toddler and challenging for the caregiver who has to chase her. She should be able to feed herself with a fork and spoon with relative skill at this age. She is talking fairly well and can put together two and three word sentences. The toddler at 19-months of age can take some of her clothes off, and does so whether you want her to or not. She is also becoming more skilled at brushing her teeth, but still needs supervision. The 19-month-old is becoming able to read a situation, and can tell when something is wrong. She enjoys drawing with crayon and paper, but needs supervision not to draw on other inappropriate items such as walls. She is able to identify some body parts by pointing to them, and may be able to say the names of these body parts.

A 20-month-old toddler can take off his clothes without help. He likes to pretend with his toys, and may feed dolls or do other imitative types of playing. He also likes to pretend to help mom or caregiver doing things around the house. Now is the time for him to want to play wit that toy lawn mower or the "popcorn" vacuum cleaner and pretend to help mom and dad around the house. Once a toddler is quite good at walking and running, he may start learning language quite rapidly. Some 20-month-olds learn up to 5 new words per day. So there is no better time to interact with him with language. Sing to him, read with him, play with him and talk to him. Let him soak language up like a sponge.

The toddler who has reached the age of 21 months is a force to be aware of. She is learning language at the rate of about 10 words per day. Now is a good time for the parent or caregiver to be especially careful what they say and how they say it. If you aren't careful, you might hear some interesting language coming out of the mouth of your 21-month old that you'd really rather not hear her say. She will also absorb language from radio, TV and movies, so it is time to monitor what she sees and hears in those areas as well.

Toddlers at the age of 21 months may be able to climb up stairs. He may also enjoy building things with blocks and other stackable toys. He might be able to throw a ball overhand. Your 21-month-old is learning bladder control, so this is an optimal time to potty train if you haven't already started that process. Keep a watchful eye on this little powerhouse, because he may add the ability to open and/or close doors to his list of skills. One fun quiet time activity to add to reading time is to point to pictures of familiar things, friends or objects and have him name them. You can use a book or use a photograph album for this activity.
