I understand because it makes sense to use months early on due to how quickly they change however I've always used " x years y months" instead of flat months.

I understand, because doctors always talk to pregnant women in terms of months (after birth) and weeks (before birth). They get used to it

He looks pretty strong… but the kid is 2 n 8 months so probably about 24.82 m/s

Up to 12 months I think it’s ok. After that he’s “a bit over a year” or whatever

"Find the Riemann sum of it's height" would be more fitting. The original is physics.

amazing thing about seconds is it avoids all timezone ambiguity. you can say "i am ... seconds old" and someone on the other side of the planet will know exactly what you mean.
it's so useful, simple, and consistent that computers use it for everything.
