learning to point things

She has learnt to point things too. This comes in handy for her. She points to the kitchen door and then to the fridge and then to the water to get water. She also points to the cookie jar, but does not succeed in getting the cookies all the time. D has this idea that a baby should not eat too much cookies. Yesterday she pointed an orange in the fruit basket. I thought she wanted to eat it and so, painstakingly peeled it off, took all the chaff and gave a bitesize to her. She took one bite but was not too interested. Looks like she pointed at the orange, so that she could play with it. But appa had already but it and demolished it!
D says that C even points to the stair gate, and then to the basement and then to the garage door indicating that she wants to go out. I have not seen it yet. But looks interesting.
We also bought a ball from Target. The ball is half her size. C has to stretch out both her arms to get a hold of the ball but still manages to carry that ball around. Her favorite game is to bring the ball to me, and take two steps backward, so that I can throw away the ball, so that she could go after the ball, pick it and bring it back. She it looked like she had more fun with the ball at the Target store before we even bought the ball than at home.
