New Trick!

In the past few days, Liam has started to POINT at things!! I was "worried" [with a lower case w, not upper case W call the doctors our son is damaged worried] about it a little since he wasn't pointing at things BUT what he does do is actually go get the thing I've questioned him on...

Example - "Liam, where's your bottle?" ZOOM!ZOOM! over to his bottle & brings it back to Mama.

Example - "Liam, where's the phone?" ZOOM!ZOOM! over to the phone to bring it back to Mama.

Nothing wrong in that, right? In fact, quite genius level comprehension, no? :)

But the other day, he "pointed" to something he wanted - at first, I mistook it for him reaching for that item but nope, it's just First Time Mommy Retardedness kicking in there - his full hand reach is actually his Pointing!

We are slowly working on encouraging him to Full Hand Point at things but sometimes he just goes & gets them...

Example - "Liam, where's the Monka Kitty?" ZOOM!ZOOM! over to extract 1/2 of Monka Kitty's winter coat from his backside. I'm sure Monka Kitty will appreciate the encouragement of the Full Hand Point as much as the next Monka.

So it's rather cute now to watch him Full Hand Point to something & then of course, go retrieve it :)
