It may be hard to imagine that the little one whose diapers you change will ever be old enough to walk, let alone walk off to college (gulp!). Our Baby Milestone Tracker will put it all in perspective. Just enter a few key pieces of information, and you'll get a list of when to expect important infant milestones, as well as bigger-kid milestones. Find out how old your baby will be when he starts walking, loses a first tooth, and gets a driver's license -- and how old you and your partner will be, too! The baby milestone quiz will take you all the way to college graduation. You'll be blown away just thinking about it.

it is to show at the latest normal age range for a child to accomplish a milestone. isnt meant to say that every kid is the same. that is just a date in which your child could meet it by. it is a very good quiz tho. every kid is different. so it doesnt matter. the later dates are very nice. i like that part a lot.

I am shocked at the utter pessimism in all of you.It is truly disheartening to hear such bitter negativity about something so trivial.It is meant simply to show the parents approximate age when their child may or may not hit certain milestones in life.What happened to optimism, joy and happiness in raising a child.Lighten up people, life is too short to be angry. Like my mother used to say,"if you don't have anything nice to say...then don't say anything at all".

PEOPLE!! It's just a fun little thing so that you can see how old you and your child be when your kid might be hitting milestones. Yes, you can figure that out on your own, but it's just a way to see it all together. Take it easy, it's not rocket science. Personally, it made me tear up because it just reminded me how quickly childhood is over.

If know one realizes it just states when the average baby hits their milestones no matter what you put in for age. The birtdates are just for saying how old you will be when your child hits that milestone, and its the same for every child.

This is lame. What do the parents' birth dates have to do with the kid's milestones? Way to have a horoscope app, Parents.com. Not that it's a surprise, but this is way off. He started sitting by himself two months before this claimed.

I find it irritating that it asks for the fathers birthday without a skip option. Some of us aren't blessed with that. Besides, my baby is doing things every site says she shouldn't be doing right now, so forget this quiz.

This quiz is so far off its a shame. I was told that my daughter would not sit up until Aug 2011....My daughter has been sitting up with support since May and is now sitting with no support. The last time I checked the date we were in June or am I missing something?? The is the worst quiz ever!! Not accurate at all!!

People its just a little quiz to show you how fast they grow and how old you'll be. Its not a perfect science because every child is different. My goodness.

Word limit-here is rest of my comment-My seven month old is rolling over both front and back, he is holding up his own head, but walking-No, he isn't walking. What is the massive rush to get our babies to advance? Bragging rights for us parents? No thanks, my son will meet these milestones at his own pace and I'm completely fine with that. :)

I didn't take the quiz yet-but I browsed through the comments-I cannot believe how people are actually saying things like "my 3 month old is already holding her head up" and "my nine month old is walking"! I know we all think our children are geniouses, and the most amazing babies and I know all children advance and meet these milestones/accomplishments at their own pace, but come on now-really?

i agree with all the people that said "it's just a fun quiz". don't take it so serious or as an insult to your child or yourself. this is just an average. some kids develop later. i'm sure many of us didn't even write down when these events happened. plus many times gas is mistaken for smiling at an early age. plus first steps are different then fully walking.

This qiuz said my son would not smile until 6 months, said he would sit up at 8 and would not walk until 15 months, and he would not say his first word until he was 18 months. He has done all of that way before he was predeted. He is only 9 months now. I think they just make up stuff.

My baby started smiling big smiles at 2 months old. She's already holding her head up and trying her hardest to sit up on her own. She frequently pulls herself up when sitting in something, but because her head is still a little too heavy for her, she slumps to the side. Her daddy is three years younger than me, and this test wouldn't let me insert his birthday correctly. Why would she be saying her first word at 2 years and 2 months??? This test makes my daughter into a moron.

My little girl smiled at 3 months i believe, rolled over at 4 months, is sitting up almost on her own now at 5 months and is strolling all around in her walker as well. This quiz is not accurate at all, but all little boys and girls develop at their own rate, something that says when your child should be doing something just makes parents worry that their is something wrong. every child is beautiful and will do things when THEY want to. :)
