Uh oh... 9 signs your baby is OFFICIALLY a toddler

It has happened, your little one is no longer a baby.

They are walking, talking and generally just acting the maggot… and you have officially entered a whole new parenting era.

But it’s not simply the art of toddling along that indicates your child is no longer a baby; here are nine signs your baby is OFFICIALLY a toddler

1. They develop a firm dislike to their nappy

And constantly try to take it off (even when you're grocery shopping).

2. They INSIST on dressing themselves

No way are they putting on that pink, flower dress you've chosen. No way in hell.

3. There are finger marks in the butter

And your tot is supporting a very suspicious grin. 

4. They've developed an opinion – and it's not the same as yours

Now they want to do things on their terms, and nothing – and we mean nothing – is going to make them change their minds… well, maybe some ice cream.

5. They've claimed ownership of the remote control 

After watching you for months, your little one has now developed an understanding of the magic that happens when you press the remote control – and you are NEVER getting it back.

6. You realise just how ANNOYING those baby proofing clips are

Who ever thought opening a kitchen cabinet could be so hard?! 

7. You spend way too long wishing you had a wet room 

Now that your toddler manages to leave more water on the floor than in the actual bath. 

8. You CANNOT get the Doc McStuffins theme tune out of your head

But it keeps your little one happy for 15 minutes so that's all that matters. 

9. You spend more time looking for your little one than actually being with them 

One minute they are there and the next – whoosh – they're gone.
