What milestones can I expect from my toddler of 19 to 24 months?

Your toddler is really growing up now!

At age 19 months, he can use a spoon and a fork, understands as many as 200 words, washes and dries his own hands with help, and will point to a picture or object when you call it by its name.

At 20 months you will find that he can probably take off his own clothes, can learn about ten new words per day, can draw a straight line, and can also name several of his body parts.

At 21 months he should be able to walk up and down stairs, throw a ball overhand, as well as kick it forward.

By 22 months he should be able to follow two-step requests, such as “pick up the book and bring it here.” He can also do simple puzzles, and can put on his own loose-fitting clothes.

At 23 months, your toddler can open doors, and sing simple tunes, and will also be a lot more interested in playing with other children.

He should be able to name at least six body parts by the age of 24 months, talk about himself, and learn to jump.
