Birdie has also been pointing quite a bit of late to ask what "dat" is. Her technique is to pump her little arm in and out with the index finger on her hand extended. She particularly likes to point at a poster of Austin's Continental Club that Julie and Ted picked up there the summer Ted lived in Austin. It was taken in another decade and features an older car parked in front, with a motor cycle pulling away in the background. Birdie most definitely can say car, and dog. She also recognizes an airplane and will point to the sky when she hears one fly overhead. Recently, we've been teaching her where her nose is, and she has begun to point to it, instead of her belly button. Not so much when she is asked where her nose is (though she no longer points to her belly button then), but just as she's being toted along, maybe. She lifts a finger up--almost inside it!--and looks over to you like she's got a secret to tell you, on the QT!Birdie can also say Joe. This morning, after Julie had picked her up and we were all congregated on Joe's bed, she pointed right at her brother, and said, "Doe."
