How old should your child be when you stop referring to them in Months?

One more person tells me their child is 23 months old.......

Update:

I am a mommy...But why am I expected to do math in casual conversation?

    18 months. I tell people my daughter will be 3 in November. If they want to know exactly how old she is, they can do the math.

    When he turns 2, I'll start saying his age in years. Right now, I always say the month, but then follow up with "he'll be two in January" so nobody has to do the math :) When he was 17 months, I'd say "he'll be a year and 1/2 next month"!! Kind of thing. My son is 21 months old today!!!! Damn, time flies.

  • HEY! My daughter is 69 months old. Okay. Wait. That does sound bad.

    Really, doh. I stopped when they turned two. I'm guilty of the 23 month old thing. Now that my son is 2, I won't be doing months any more.

    the reason is because when you buy clothes, they come in "months" until the age of 2. Reason being because changes are so frequent...month to month....sorry, it's a mommy thing

    after 18 months they should become "almost 2"

    I would say 11 months. After that you can say they are "about a year"!!
