And speaking of games, she has a new favorite. I believe its called "Tease The Dog With Your Dinner". Brooke had learned that if she takes a piece of food and holds it off her highchair, Wrigley will come up to her and lick her hand. Of course, she would not dare share her food. Instead, she lets the dog lick it, then pulls it away and puts it in her mouth. Its quite a gross game, but a new trick we are trying to ignore for now. If we laugh, she might continue to do it because we think its funny. She doesnt totally understand "no", and she sure doesnt understand logic or reason ... so we cannot explain why this is not the thing to do at the dinner table. In addition, we also worry that making it seem like a no-no might make it extra appealing :) For now we pretend its not happening and hope she will soon move onto some other new discovery.

"I See Your Point"
Pointing is a developmental milestone that Brooke has recently reached. She doesnt seem to point at things she wants, but more likely something she wants us to look at. She points at people (like Daddy) and Wrigley quite a bit. I have had her point at the television a few times, and that I am assuming may be a want ... other than that it seem like more of a show-and-tell game right now.
