Where is Pointer?

On Thursday evening while I was giving Faith a bath, I noticed she was pointing at the duck in her bath book. Now I am not sure that this was the first time she pointed, but it is the first time that it donged on me that she was. We talked about the duck and proceeded with her bath. Later before bed, we were reading Goodnight Moon and we we read "goodnight kittens" she pointed to the kittens and in a highpitched voice she said "ki-ki" and looked around the room. (Now, we don't have a cat, but she knows "kitty-kitty" from visiting Grammy's house). I pulled out a basic picture book and showed her another picture of a kitty.

Friday afternoon while swinging in the backyard, I had given Faith her sippy cup. When she was done with it, I'd place it in the hanging plant next to us. When she wanted another drink, she'd point for her cup (or my soda that was next to it...which I did not share.) Later that evening while reading Goodnight Moon again, I asked Faith, "Where are the kitties?" She was able to point them out on every page! I was quite impressed! She is such a smart girl!

Faith and I sleep most of the night together and Paige usually sleeps with us. However, this morning Paige was out in the hallway. I asked Faith, "Where is Paige?" Faith started panting (which is the sign language for dog) then she patted the bed and said "ca-ca" for "come-come". I love it! It is so much fun to see her grow and learn!
