@cl8badb what I read said to look for it around 12 months and talk to your pedi if they aren't pointing by 15 months. I had no idea this was a milestone either until K started doing it and I googled if she was old enough to understand what objects were when pointing to them.
She doesn't point at objects across the room or anything, but she does target items in books. She's very into the touch & feel books. I find this interesting because my son barely glanced at a book until he was 2, ;-)
No pointing here here. I don't think that ds1 pointed until he was much older. Now at 3 he is extremely intelligent (I think much more advanced than other kids his age) so I'm not worried.
Re: Pointing to objects?
LOL! Mine too.
I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.
