Carry over skills?

If you have all the milestones (that I've found) when ageing your infant up, then you start with level 2 in Thinking, Communication and Movement skills. I guess that Gross Motor maps to movement, Fine motor maps to Thinking, and Social maps to Communication. I haven't experimented with how fewer milestones maps to lower skill, but I may do at some point.

Milestones do help toddler to start off with some Movement, Thinking, and Social skill. How many, I don't know. So tells the tooltip...

I just saw the option come up to teach to walk, so I wonder
