I'm always amazed by how much my daughter understands. This weekend she will be 15 months old. Of course I find her to be the cutest little thing in the world but that is because she is my daughter. Her understanding of words is wonderful for her age. She can't always say the word that your saying to her but she will try weather it comes out close to the same word or totally different its cute to see. If you ask her to do a simple task she will most likely do it. I give her, her clothes and tell her to bring it to her daddy so he can put it on her and she will. I'll tell her we have to refill her sippy cup when its empty and then she'll run to the kitchen. I'll tell her mommy is going to the bathroom or her daddy is in the bathroom and she go running to the half bathroom. When she is sleepy I'll ask her if she needs to go down to sleep and she'll run to gate at the top of stairs with her binky in hand. You ask her to go find her binky and she'll start looking for it. She understands the word toys so she'll find her toys when you ask her. She knows outside and trees. Before I know it she'll be having conversations on her pretend phone oh wait she already does that. She loves to mimic her mommy. I don't know where my daughter got this from put she pick up the broom in the kitchen and started sweeping its a small light broom perfect for my short size so its really light for my daughter to pick up.
It's amazing how fast our little ones learn things at a really young age.

Hello ShyBear88
I, too, was amazed at what my 1-year olds understood. Of course, this was all the more amazing to me because they were my own flesh and blood. Many people find that they are more amazed by their own flesh and blood than by the many miracles of life that surround us on a daily basis.

I was always amazed even when it was my own child what a little 1 year old would understand or do if you asked them to do it. I'm not to amazed by what my daughter can do or understand, because we do a lot of things with her and talk to her a lot and ask her a lot of simple things. it's still amazing but not any more amazing then any other time I've seen it happen.

It is a great privilege to be around the little ones as they grow. A great privilege and a great responsibility.

The first year of a baby's life is the year that they always learn the most about the world that they're living in, so it is therefore the most important time. Anything that they don't manage to learn at this point will be difficult to catch up on so it is vital that you educate your child. I think that the most important thing that you can do is talk to your child and let them interact with as many people as possible, because acting in ways such as this can be the way that they gain the most information about the way that the world works.

Yes I know the first year is the one they learn the most actually my daughter is over a year if you look at her birth day she is really on year two just not age two. The first 5 years are the most important years of development and grow once kindergarten starts the brain stops growing at a fast rate it slows down that and there at school and stuff. I wasn't asking what is important to do as a parent with your child. Everyone knows you need to talk or sing, or even read to your young child. I wasn't looking for any suggestions just sharing those wonderful moments that parents love to admire about there little kids as you watch them grow up. Good thing I get another year of all this fast learning with another little one it won't be as amazing anymore then.

Little ones absorb so very much when they are really young. It tends to be that their vocabulary will grow by up to 50 words a week at a certain point between their first birthday and their second birthday. In addition to that, children are able to understand far more words than they are able to use on their own. Even more beautiful than that, however, is the fact that it won't be that young before she will start to put together complete sentences.

At one kids are putting together complete sentences its jut one word sentences like yes or no. They say full sentences to us all of the time its just that we don't really understand it. But yes full where we get it isn't till some time after they are 2. For every year they are is how many words per sentences they can put together. Still its always amazing to see what they know at such a young age even certain activities.

They are alike with my son mostly, he is also 1year and 5months. He calls the celfon "touch" because it is a touchscreen. He said bye after you talk to him through phone and he says excuse - xchose on his word when he wants to pass. He is fun with playing kites and says "tayt".. heheh.. and says "bobud" (roll the thread). He is very talkative. When he saw a dirt or wet part he will wipe it and get the broom. He will pick up some scattered dirt and throw it in the trashcan. If someone will take a bath he will join too. He has two "uu" the one is the real uu and the other one is he wants to take a bath.. hehe.. he says uu when he take a bath bec. mostly he is making his bath time at the cr. He has so many activities that he does everyday. Yes, our kids are very cute and we are really enjoying their company. They are very lovely though sometimes hard to please specially if they have tantrums. Yes, you are also correct that nowadays little ones are very fast learner and very intelligent.

Kids have always been fast learning's they are sponges at this age. This is why they say now is the time to teach them a lot of things even though at times it might seem they are not learning something or not understanding it they really are. Some things take time to understand but if you do them over and over again they get it.

They learn from imitating adults. It is all a play to her, but she gets to learn skills here and there.

children just don't learn from imitating or watching. They also learn by doing. I never showed my daughter how to sweet she has never seen me or my husband or anyone for that matter do it. That she did all on her own. There are a lot of things little kids will learn on there own even at a year or younger. We learn by experiences not just be seeing what others around them do. You can tell a kid something is hot but they don't understand its hot till they touch it and see that its hot. Like words baby's don't really understand them but the recognizes what they are used for way before they start talking.
You will be amazed by what they know and will say about things. She calls pretty much everything daddy even though she knows that isn't the word that is what she relates it too.

Children at well my daughters age and younger they know a lot of words even though they don't always correctly use them. Connecting things to what they play or see helps them learn what it is even though they don't understand it. I can say toy and she'll go to one of her toys and bring it to and I'll tell her what it is. When she see little baby dolls she calls them baby's and now she has started calling all of her real life toy's babies. Its cute but I tell her what they really are when she brings them to the same with boy's, dad's are daddy. Everything is daddy to her because of the fact she see him use it or play with it or something or connects to him in some way or another. It's funny because I have to correct her what it really is.
