Brooke is starting to show her age - she is smarter and quicker, and seems to have mastered the art of manipulating her parents ;)
One of the biggest things we have noticed in her development is discussed on parents.com - due to the maturity of her vision, Brooke has increased hand & eye control. Before we would show her an object and put it close to her, and she would grasp it. Now she reaches out for things she wants! This is pretty much everything, but her primary desire is the dog. She reaches out for her every time she is near ... and has a bit of a fit when Wrigley doesnt cooperate.
Babycenter talks about laughing this week - which we are seeing a lot more of as well. Brooke seems to be laughing for our enjoyment though, more than a natural reaction of some sort. She laughs when we laugh (or smile) and we still do not get a whole lot of genuine laughter out of her ... guess she doesnt find us very funny ;)
