Is this normal??

My daughter will be 4 in May. She knows all of her colors, ABC’s, animals, and numbers. But she still sometimes has that baby talk where I can’t understand what she is saying. Has anyone else experienced this, and should I be concerned???

Giggling

Anyone’s babies not giggling yet? My boy is 13 weeks, he coos and makes lots of noises and very smiley but not giggled at all yet? Just makes a sort of squeak when he smiles sometimes 😂

Grunting/groaning noise

My little one makes a grunting/groaning sound quite a lot which from Googling seems like it could be due to wind as he'll often be fidgety too.

Walking outside

My son is a confident walker at home, but when he is outside he gets really upset and wants to be picked up, he also gets upset in the pram too, not ideal for a family walk lol. He’s also not very steady on his feet outside and ended up face planting the ground today 😭 is there anything I can do to encourage…

Tantrums

Any advice on how to deal with them? Eg I’ll be cooking and he will walk over with his book and ask for ‘book’ but I can’t do everything he asks all the time. Playpens are a no go

Reading

Has anyone got any tips for a baby that is not interested in being read to? All he wants to do is take the book out of my hands and put it in his mouth, and he’ll scream if I don’t give it to him.
