10 Exciting Milestones Your Little One Will Reach This Year

Ah, the magical post-partum period! That wonderful time when you've finally learned to wear your mum-bun like a crown, your toddler's tantrum is still cuter than any cat video, and multitasking is your superpower (you'd put a circus juggler to shame!). Somewhere between diaper duty and the umpteenth reading of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, your little one is gearing up for some exciting milestones.

Surprise! Your Toddler's Latest Milestone: Mastering the Art of Avoiding Vegetables! Curious What Could Be Next?

The first year was a whirlwind of first giggles, first steps, and first "mama" or "dada". Now, as you enter the 12 to 24 months post-partum window, the rollercoaster fun doesn't stop. Here are ten developmental plot twists your tiny human might unleash this year!

1. The Walking (or Running) Disaster!

Once saw a couch as a restrictive barrier? Not anymore! Now, your toddler sees it as the Everest they must conquer. Pair those fast little legs with slippery socks, and you've got your daily chase cardio sorted.

Pro tip: Consider submitting their snail-like best to the next Olympic race for toddlers—they might just bag a gold. 🏅

As your little explorer turns your house into their personal jungle gym, don't forget to stay comfy in your Mum Tum leggings—because flexibility isn't just for little bodies.

2. The Picasso Syndrome

Pablo Picasso, is that you? Nope, that's just your munchkin turning kitchens, walls, and the very floorboards into their

living masterpiece! Treasure those doodles because, kiddo, you're going places (like the laundry room for stain removal). 🎨

WARNING: Silence is suspicious... 99% guaranteed there's a new, unsolicited mural being made.

3. Culinary Creativity

You cooked a special pea risotto, and they only ate the peas. Next week, they scream bloody murder at the mere sight of peas. It's the toddler version of MasterChef, and you're the bemused judge.

Keep your cool when your toddler makes mealtime mess-tastic and thank your lucky stars for washable walls.

Heads Up: Ketchup becomes a food group.

4. The Chatterbox Chronicles

You've waited 12 months for your first real chat, and now... well, silence is a luxury you once took for granted. Expect to hear their unique interpretations of classic hits, like “Twinkle, Twinkle” with a touch of heavy metal. 🎤

Your sleep schedule might still be unpredictable, but looking on the bright side, their chatty company is worth those occasional 3 am conversations.

5. Social Butterfly Emerges

Hello, socialite! Playdates aren't just for the kiddos—they’re for you, too! Meeting other mums becomes an essential part of staying sane (and ensuring you're not the only one with a squishy, yoghurt-covered car seat).

Remember, a confident child with blossoming social skills is one of the best gifts you can give them, besides introducing them to ice cream, of course.

6. World-Pro Level Tantrums

Move over, drama queens—your little one just figured out how to throw a scene worthy of next summer's blockbusters. Rem

ember, nothing screams 'normal toddler' quite like a full-on body roll in the candy aisle.

Pro Mum Advice: Keep a handy mantra on mental rotation: "This too shall pass." 🌪️

7. Endless Curiosity

“Why is the sky blue, mommy?” Brace yourself for the daily 99-question segment. From clouds to dirt, little minds want to know everything about their world. It’s like living with a curious miniature Einstein. 🧐

If you’ve got another little genius on the way, look no further than maternity leggings to keep you comfortable on this journey.

8. Possession Obsession

“Mine” becomes the favorite word. From their toothbrush to your car keys, all things suddenly belong to them. You’d think they were amassing wealth for a preschool empire!

FYI: Sharing is a foreign concept for the busy toddler mogul but hang in there; it gets cuter with age.

9. Dress Code Catastrophes

Your pint-sized fashionista insists that a tutu with rubber boots is the perfect outfit for EVERY occasion—because why not? The good news: they have a signature look early on.

Remember, fashion rules were made to be broken, especially by kids with limitless imagination.

10. The Snuggle Multipliers

Amid the chaos, the sticky messes and full-moon meltdowns, nothing beats those moments when your child wraps their arms around you and nestles in for a cuddle. These are the real milestones, the ones that matter most. 😍

Every phase, each tantrum, all those silly, giggly moments—they're all part of this wild ride called parenthood. And hey, when it gets a little crazy, we’re here to help you find the perfect leggings to match any adventure. Whether it’s maternity or postpartum, we’ve got you covered.

Enjoy every milestone, be them chaotic or calm, big or small. After all, you’re doing an amazing job mama, and remember to take care of the most important person too—YOU.

With love and glittery high-fives, your legging-loving friends at Emamaco 💃
