re: Parent Board: When do things get better after 1 years old?

It gets better when they can talk and tell you what they want.

It's different for every kid. Girls talk pretty quick I've been told. None of my boys talked until they were nearly two or shortly after, but until then it was just strings of nonsensical jabbering with the occasional purposeful word thrown in there. I used to be worried about them talking, now I wish they would shut the hell up every once in a while.

I digress. When they start talking they turn into little humans and they can tell you what they want or what's wrong. 10000x easier than trying to guess what they're screaming/mad about/etc.
