Toddlers

––––––––

A toddler is a person who toddles or “moves with short unsteady steps while learning to walk or being excessively drunk.”

I hope your young child is not drinking alcohol, so I think the first part of the definition applies.  To me, a toddler can be anywhere from 12 months to 36 months. By the age of three, most children walk and run quite competently. At that point, you can just call them a child or a “little girl” or “little boy.”
