It makes more sense when you’re comparing month to month development.
If you have a perfectly normal child then it doesn’t matter to measure anything and you can call it whatever.
However if you’re in a maternity group and all the other children started pointing at things at 13 months and yours doesn’t, then it might help to remember that yours was born prematurely and you can expect that behavior at 14 months.
Now, you can convert numbers as much as you please, but this doesn’t make sense as 1.08 and 1.16 years. You can say one year and one month and one year and two months, but it does makes sense for everyone in the conversation if you use the conventional method of communication which is 13 and 14 months. Don’t even get me started on Tiger leaps. Those come on schedule by the week.
It’s convention. If you go to a car mechanic to get new tires, you also don’t ask for “big wheels” if you want a 226/40R19.
Those ages are a year, a year and a half, and two years.
