Developmental Signs

Here are some signs the Monkey is developing:

• He points to things that he wants to visit. (Like the bamboo/coconut windchime on the back porch, which he likes to bang around and make marimba-like sounds with.)
• I say "Let's go play with the train," and he crawls across the room and picks the train out of a jumble of other toys.
• He vocalizes protest -- say, when I take a toy away long enough to fit him into the car seat -- instead of mutely accepting everything.
• He knows where things are when I mention them by name, even if they're not in sight.
