Lets all list how old our DC's were when they first sat, crawled, walked,cut teeth, learnt colours, could count to 100, pottytrained, stopped using a buggy, requested quinoa for lunch, composed their first symphony etc etc

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

Just so people can stop posting those thinly veiled attempts to compare their children with others

And maybe distract attention from the fecking class threads.

both ds's walked on exactly the same day 9 months 4 days.
ds2 can only just count to 100, he has dyscalculia

surely you're all talking about walking supported not unsupported at such early ages?!

With proper comparison type threads I reckon the only people who answer are at the extremes so you don't really get an idea of 'norms' anyway.

We counted when they walked across (smalL!) room unaided.

But as I said, it don't make a shot of difference- my eldest migt have been the envy of the toddler group with his milestones, still SN now.

I don't need to write these things down. I text my sister when things happen, and she keeps records of everything

My son learned to raise one eyebrow and do a really condescending look at a very early age!

ooh this IS an interstign thread.

Ds1 learnt colours before he could say them. (this sounds so impressive without the disclaimer - he had a speech delay - he was about 2.5)

I have no recollection of when they did anything. I do know people who kept detailed spreadsheets of this information, but I was busy doing other things I suppose. Eventually your kids can do everything, regardless of whether they were first or last to do it.

Scrabulous,.. no when they were walking completely unaided! At 9 1/2 months an elderly woman told me in the park that ds1 had just walked 76 steps. I hadn't noticed! Was too busy gassing with my friend!
I wonder if we should start an early walker thread Peachy..
ds1 is extremely clever G&T (shudders) at Maths
ds2 very definitely SEN. I wonder if there is a link?

Ohhhh is mozzarella loving a milestone? I fear I may have pushed my cildren into it before they were ready - I chop it up with milk on and microwave and serve as cheese sauce on pasta (because it sticks the pasta together and makes it stay on the spoon

Never mind counting to 100; my dd1 actually invented some new numbers such as 'u-leven','nefteen', and 'zero-ty twenty' [proud Mummy emoticon].

My daughter has her own special number too - cinquante-dix-sept

I can't remember what I did last week, never mind all these things!

LOL ds1 used to get excited and exclaim that"I will do it twenty forty hundred times!"

Yes, the problem of peeling quails eggs, I'm so glad that you brought this up

My dear, the answer is to fry them (in virgin olive oil natch)

and if you fry them,, you can serve them with those chipstick crisps and have "fairy egg and chips."

DS was an early walker / crawler it is a nightmare

I may have been the envy of the toddler group but give me one that stays still any day!

you do not want a mobile 6 month old (been there!!!)

colditz I'll try your fairy egg and chips it sounds great!

ds sat up at 6-7 ths

teeth- 6 mths

stood unaided 12 mths

walked at 14 half months

talked -2 speech delayed now 2.7 getting there but still long way off

still in nappies

2.7 can do colours and count to twenty and knows all alphabet

still has buggy for long distance

oh lord, yes I remember having a crawling 7 month old - very fast, and not even the sense to stop when he had repeatedly headbutted a wall.

Sat up: dd 9 months ds 3yrs
teeth- 6 mths
stood unaided: dd 9.1 months ds 4yrs
walked: dd 9.3 months ds 6yrs
talked: dd first words 6 months, first conversation 18 months. ds first words 3 yrs, first conversation 4 yrs, fully fluent 6 yrs.
nappies: dd dry day and night 18 months. ds dry day at 5yrs and night at 8 yrs.
colours, counting, alphabet - I have no idea.
DD no buggy from age of 3, ds will be in his wheelchair for life.

CAM oh that must makes such cute little fried eggs! I think I shall get a dolls porcelain set to serve it up! I wonder where I can get mini mini cherry tomatoes and miniscule mushrooms and baked beans! And we can make a real teddy bear breakfast for the kids to enjoy!

Cut a small cherry tomato in half and serve it as a grilled tomato.

PS my 4 year old boy was quite thrilled at eating 3 fried eggs for his dinner one evening, but it didn't cross his mind to question why they were so small. he didn't even really notice, until I pointed it out.

ds1 crawled at 7 months (which was a couple of months before he could sit up properly unaided), walked at 14 months. First word at a year, then nothing for months. Colours and counting happened at some point over the last year. He counts to 13 fine then always goes to 16. Teeth I think at 6 months. Unpottytrained. He has quinoa once a week at lentil-weavery kindergarten

mine weren't even born before they were able to do all of that. They came out speaking 17 languages

we aren't talking about babies any more, we are talking about fairy fry ups.
