Toddler Milestones - Is Your 19-21 Month Old on Track?

There are so many factors that contribute to what your toddler can and can not do at this point. Some children are simple more physically developed while others are more developed in the language area. Of course there are those toddlers who seem to just do and know it all! This guide will help you to determine which toddler milestones that you should be looking for in your toddler and which ones you can look forward to in the coming months.

Toddler Milestones: Month 19
o Creates phrases or short sentences rather than using one word phrases
o Can use a fork or spoon (most toddlers will use a fork first)
o Imitate adult actions such as cooking or driving
o Stack and sort blocks and toys

Toddler Milestones: Month 20
o Use around 50 words to express themselves
o Use simple sentences such as "There you go" or "Come on Momma!"
o Can undress and possibly dress himself
o Will learn new words rapidly
o Play ball but probably won't be able to catch
o Interested in opening cabinet and outside doors

Toddler Milestones: Month 21
o Name body parts such as hair, elbow and nose
o Walk up and down stairs (always help your toddler on the stairs!)
o Recognize and name people or pets in pictures or in their presence
o Forming more and more sentences to express wants and needs
o Is becoming aware of the potty and is able to control their bladder in some instances.

If your child isn't meeting these toddler milestones on time, remember that his development isn't on set schedule. This is simply a guide that represents what an average toddler of this age can do. You might see these developmental milestones happen more quickly or slowly in your own children. If you are concerned about your toddler's development, contact your pediatrician.
