My 1_ months old baby does not point with index finger. He sometimes points with his whole hand. He has also not started showing things. He claps,waves, shows hair, nose(squeezes) , sometimes covers his place to play peek a boo. Has great eye contact. Is pointing really important at this age? He says baba dada tata mama and other few words.
