I agree. They don't work for my kids either. I think her lists probably speak most to the clientele she is serving. If it is useful info to people, great. But if your child doesn't neatly fall into those particular groupings, I don't think it's necessarily very telling.

Edited to say, I'm quite sure I wasn't too alert when my kids were born either. ROFL! grin Those early milestones are a blur to me as well. I watched old video of my daughter (now just turned 6) in the past year of her at about 3 months. She was laying in DH's lap saying her own name over and over. Ummm ... really? I filmed the video and I never picked up on it at the time.
