Your 1-Year-Old Toddler: Week 25 Menu
Welcome to the exciting world of being 18 months old! Your little bundle of joy is reaching an incredible milestone. This phase is filled with wonder and a bit of chaos as your curious toddler showcases new skills that will both delight and challenge you. Get ready for three amazing (and slightly daunting) developments that are sure to keep you on your toes!
Surge of Energy
First up, your toddler is about to have a surge of energy as they practice their newfound abilities. Baby-proofing your home just became a whole new ball game—your little climber is now attempting everything from scaling the back of the couch to conquering the baby gate. Make sure to provide plenty of opportunities for physical activities to help them burn off that excess energy!
Vocabulary Explosion
Prepare yourself for a vocabulary explosion! You might notice your child putting together two or more words to ask for things or describe their surroundings. Reading daily to your child will help enrich their vocabulary and build a solid foundation for literacy skills.

Impressive Tantrums
Is your toddler throwing some impressive tantrums? That’s likely because they’re beginning to remember objects—like that elusive brownie they once spotted—long after they’re out of sight. Although these outbursts can be frustrating, they signal important milestones in language and memory development. This is a perfect time to introduce new words to help your child express those big feelings.
