Yeah, for most parents, measuring age in months ends right around the one year mark.

I know plenty of parents who refer to their kid in months through year two, as you're hitting milestones every month or two (vaccines, physical/psychological development, age limit for certain pharmaceuticals, etc) and "2 years" is such a big milestone for them all.

Also, kids who are premature make things extra complicated. I still refer to my son as "13-months adjusted" because if I said "16-months" people would wonder why he was so small.

    While I agree with you, I also have to say that a significant percentage of people have no idea of the size difference between 13 and 16 months, and that saying 13 months adjusted is a little silly, but fun! So you do you.

    people have no idea of the size difference between 13 and 16 months

    People with their own children notice the difference more readily

    People with kids at those ages definitely. Anecdotally, mine's more grown up now, and I don't remember how big she was at those ages.

    I do remember searching a whole lot of XX-month-milestone on the Internet when she was small.
