The monster recently figured out how to point. Mainly, he just points at everything, not as an indication of wanting it or showing it off, more just like, hey look, I can point at stuff.
Or so I thought.
My MIL sent the monster a bunch of books recently, most of which are in Mr. Wolfman's native language (we have an agreement that I don't speak to the monster in said language, so I don't eff up his accent, grammar, etc.) and one of which has no words, just pictures. The monster loves this book. Mr. Wolfman "reads" it to him in his native language, showing him all the pictures and talking about them, and I "read" it to him in English.
Yesterday, Mr. Wolfman starts asking the monster, Where is the whale? Where is the duck? and so on and the monster actually STARTED POINTING. Maybe this is totally normal, but I reserve the right to be amazed. So I started going through the book with him in English, asking him to point to different pictures, and HE BLOODY DID. So, even still only saying 3 words, my little monster understands two languages and recognizes all the pictures in his little book. I am thoroughly amazed.
Also, knocking some serious wood, but the monster is eating solids again! I got it into my head to give him pears a couple days ago and he loved them, so yesterday I tried pears and carrots and he was a huge fan. Since he's either refused or gagged on everything I've given him since Easter (cucumber even made him vomit :( ), I'm pretty excited about this. Hopefully today we'll get him a little pool for the summer and all will be right as rain :D
