Earlier quoted context omitted.
My friend's 12-month old baby reset the unlock code on her mother's phone and they ended up having to wipe it completely in order to recover.
This is completely unrelated, but why do people say "12 months", "18 months", and "24 months" rather than 1 year, 1.5 years, and 2 years? I don't get it. I'd understand if they're younger than a year old (eg "My son is seven months old!"), but not once the age can be expressed in years.
I've read the other replies and my answer is pretty different. I think this has to do with a fact that up until 24 months many toddler-targeted things are spoken of in such fashion:
- Clothes are sized in months 0-3, 3-6 etc.. - During doctor visits you discuss developmental milestones expressed in months.
Etc. You get used to it, since at that age the development of a child is extremely condensed and years simply don't provide enough resolution.
