14 month milestone progress

click here for the milestone chart:

Mastered Skills (most children can do)
• Finger feeds - yes for quite sometime now. Lately he eats chopped carrots and baby corn, rice krispies, etc.
• Empties containers of contents - yes
• Imitates others - yes - especially tries to imitate words, dances if you dance

Emerging Skills (half of children can do)
• Toddles well - he's been running a long time, since he was 12 months old atleast
• Initiates games - not sure about this one. I think he will initiate a game if you show him once first, then he will want to continue playing it, but he won't initiate it out of the blue himself
• Points to one body part when asked - no, but will point at mommy's yes, nose, mouth. He will pat his own head if you ask him who Alessandro is.

Advanced Skills (a few children can do)
• Uses spoon or fork - yes, uses a spoon sometimes amazingly well!
• Matches lids with appropriate containers (e.g. pots and pans) - he puts lids on containers but I haven't tested whether he will do this with a variety of containers
• Pushes and pulls toys while walking - he's been doing this one for a long time, especially with his Go Diego Go scooter that he got for his 1st birthday
