Your baby is all grown up, ready to celebrate her second birthday next month. A baby reaching her twenty-fourth month has changed a lot since her first birthday, displaying all kinds of changes and growth signs in her movements, actions, and eating habits. Anyone can expect a toddling child around the house at most times in this age. Along with inner and outer changes, some changes in life bring anxiety and stress into their personality too. For example, a new nanny, a new water cup, or a new toy can change your baby’s mood in an instant.
Another change that is visible in babies of twenty-third months is that they change their tastes in their rhymes and poems. You will be thankful as you will not have to play the same poem on repeat ever again. Signs like mood and taste change are clear visions of a new growth cycle for the baby.
How does your baby change in his twenty-third month?
The signs of change in your baby will be so visible that you will not have to supervise her every action to find them. Your baby’s playing techniques, eating style and needs, dependence on your love, and speech growth will make it prominent enough to notice that she is going to be two years old soon. You will miss that small and squishy baby clinging to your chest and arm all the time and see her hoping and talking around the house in her world.
Those soft and cuddly skin rolls are gone, and the height of your baby has grown more than before, along with more verbal and active personality development. Your child does not depend on your every help like feeding and drinking water as she can eat with her hands or a spoon on her chair and drink from her Sippy cup quickly. You will start missing those small needy crying of your baby when she needed something, and now you will see her leap towards her favorite toy suddenly. Being a mother, you will find these changes deep yet astonishing, making you love your baby more.
What does a baby demand in the twenty-third month?
It’s rather exciting to know what your child will be doing after he reaches his age two. We all know that your child is independent now and doing everything on her own, mostly, so what exactly will she demand or ask for while observing and learning through her environment?
Now, your child has realized she is a separate individual with her personality, so she will try her best to sort tasks out her way. Your baby will develop a language to communicate in her way with you, aside from logic that she does not understand yet. Babies have less self-control and waiting for instinct in them right now, so it will be hard convincing them for something. Now is the time where you may hear the word ‘No’ the most in your baby experience until now.
