Baby's First Year

Newborn (3–5 Days)

Welcome to your growing family — feeding, jaundice, safe sleep, and settling in.

1 Month

Growing together — feeding rhythms, crying peaks, and caring for the caregivers.

2 Months

Smiles & first protection — social smiles, sleep organizing, and first vaccines.

4 Months

Playful & curious — rolling, laughing, and getting ready for solids (not yet!).

6 Months

Sitting up & first tastes — solids, early allergens, first teeth, and childproofing.

9 Months

On the move — crawling, separation feelings, finger foods, and the "yes space."

12 Months

Happy first birthday! First steps and words, whole milk, and the one-year vaccines.

Toddler & Preschool

15 Months

Growing independence — walking well, first words, and taming early tantrums.

18 Months

Words & imagination — the word burst, pretend play, and autism screening explained.

2 Years (24 Months)

Two years of wonder — two-word phrases, potty readiness, and screen-time footing.

2½ Years (30 Months)

Imagination takes flight — language explosion, potty progress, and preschool prep.

3 Years

Ready for preschool adventures — sentences, emotions coaching, and body safety basics.

4 Years

Confidence & creativity — kindergarten readiness, boosters, bikes, and swim.

Pre-teen passage — adolescent vaccines, middle school, and phone readiness.

High school launch — finding their people, positive risk, and refusal scripts.

Mid-teen momentum — driving prep, sleep, relationships, and real talk on substances.

16 Years

Keys, confidence & a booster — MenACWY, Colorado GDL driving rules, and jobs.
