This week Reese also began waving and pointing. She's still a little shy and unsure about waving to strangers, but if Mommy or Daddy wave at her, she'll wave back.
Watching her point at objects is exciting. This week I took her to day care at the gym on Tuesday morning. Over night the staff had hung a summer themed banner above the check-in desk. (It's like a grass skirt with flowers dispersed throughout.) When we walked in, Reese looked up at the banner and then began pointing at it. Since then, she's been pointing up a storm at things that interest her, or things that she wants. This was especially true when she saw my Mother's Day flowers. Due to lighting (and some leakage issues) we had to move the bouquet around several times before it found a "home." When Reese noticed the new location, she would tilt her head and examine it (confused about the move?) and then point at it. I know that pointing is rude in the long term, but as her only form of communication right now I think it's pretty neat. I'm going to try to catch pictures soon if possible.
She's getting to be such a big girl! That's great that she's pulling up on stuff (I understand how anything is fair game that's within her reach. We usually have a 'Lani Zone' that is clear of anything we don't want shoved into her mouth.) Reese is such a doll!
