Children aged 5ish When did your child first?

[~Gee_Whizzy~]

DD1 turns 5 in Jan. started bls at 9 months, she crawled at 8 months but didn't walk til nearly 15mths. she got two first teeth in one hit at 4.5mths.

I actually can. I didn't write down or anything, though.

No i don't think you are odd.

I have trouble remembering anything from DD1's first 12months (she's 7). My PND was horrendous. I wrote a few things down, but if I really wanted to remember I'd have to go back through photos for dates. I remember she got 11 teeth in a fortnight at 11 months old. I remember the hard stuff more than the good though, which is sad, because that's where my head was.
DS is 4.5 I remember he walked because it was the day before his first birthday. I remember his teeth because he got 16 in a month.
Poor DD2, I hope she never asks me for dates lol.

Not really but I blame that on the amount of children rather than me being slack.

I know they all got their first teeth around 7 months, dd2 was the earliest to crawl, walk and toilet train.

But that is about it.....

I have a few things written down for DS1, but almost nothing for poor DS2. Sometimes I wish I were better at recording things, but in the big scheme of things it's more of a "oh well" rather than something I regret, ITMS.

I remember rough ages, not dates, for DD1. First teeth, 9 months. Can't remember crawling, was quite average I think. Walked 10 months 10 days.
DD2 - No idea on teeth, but earlier than DD1, can't remember crawling - but she didn't do it long or much, we sort of went straight to walking, walking unassisted 9 months.

Beyond that though, not much! LOL Can't remember how old when they first spoke. ExDH thinks their first word was dad, DD1's was actually ice cream randomly at 11 months, then nothing else for several months. But I haven't the foggiest when either rolled either way or sat up or smiled.... I meant to write it down, but just never did.

Eldest is 4.5... I have vague memories lol. I know she got teeth really freakish early, a few months and then was all done before 2. She rolled early, crawled early and then didn't walk till 17months, a month later than I did (I walked right after my brother arrived, had to save a few tricks haha) which is why I remember. She didn't talk till almost 3, that is all quite clear.

I know she first started sleeping through at 2yrs 9mo, just in time for DD2 to arrive lol. She weaned about 6months later at 3yrs 3mo, same time as toilet training.

To be honest, DD2s aren't really that much clearer and she is only 20months! I know she was holding her head up in the hospital and we only stayed one day. My brother claims she rolled at Pop's 90th birthday party while nobody but him was watching and has stood by that since but I'm not entirely convinced. She crawled um... not for long, teeth... at some point. She either walked just before or just after 10months and was climbing slides soon after. She had her first sign right before her first birthday, first verbal word though hmm... not really sure, I actually find it difficult to really decide when it goes from babble to more intentioned.

I think I could look most up from Facebook or photos or videos though lol.

I don't think you're strange for not remembering. Some people just have a mind for those sorts of details.

I do remember quite a lot, except for DS1 's first 9-ish months or so, because I had horrific PND, and my brain just didn't work well at all, I do remember DD's and his major milestones at that time, though. I have written a lot of it down, but I just remember it anyway also, it's rare I need to check if I am right or not.

I wrote things down and just had a look the other week to 'compare' against DD2. I did remember when DD1 walked because it was a couple of weeks after her first birthday.
