Our baby girl is now 20months. Am I a normal parent? Do other parents get surprised at how fast our kids grow? Yesterday we got home a bit late but we Samara in high spirits. She was just running around with her beautiful smile and it was just good to be home. Of course I worried about her using up all the energy from the food she had just eaten.
This morning as we were having breakfast, my phone was ringing and it was in my handbag. Baby girl decided to look out for the phone and I told her it is in my hand bag which I had closed. I thought that the best she would do is struggle to bring me the handbag but no, she opened the zip, removed the phone and brought it to me. I was totally impressed, we have a little helper in the house. These days she carries her diapers if asked to, throws dirty dishes into the sink (so we dare not allow her to take any dirty glass utensils to the kitchen). She has quite a number of milestones and she amazes us daily.
Baby center this morning sent me an update on my 20month old .I am jazzed and looking forward to seeing this.
Interesting stage don't you think?Your toddler is curious about everything right now, and that includes all the parts of her body. Remember when, as a baby, she discovered her hands and feet and couldn't stop playing with them? Well, something similar may be happening now with her genitals. If you catch your child exploring her private parts, don't panic. This is a normal stage in every child's development. At this age, the best response might be to ignore it. If you're in public and embarrassed by the behavior, try distracting your child with another activity and explaining that some things are done only at home. If you need an analogy, explain that touching yourself is something most people like to do alone, like taking a shower or going to the bathroom.
