pointing!

penny has now started pointing!  she will point to where she wants to go when she's being held, or what she wants - it's great that she has a whole new way to communicate!
at dinner last night, she was pointing at a photo of her that we keep on the dining room table.  she patted it for a while, then gave it a hug, THEN tried to share some of her dinner with it by putting food on its mouth.  alex and i almost died.  it was SO sweet.
she makes an "o" shape with her mouth when she points to the box of cheerios, she has started sharing her leaves with other babies in the park, and she knows that when she hands us the book with the chicken face on the cover, she should say "bok bok bok bok".

this is getting good.
