Although I was originally named Dr. Binkman in honor of my pacifier, I quickly gave that up (what am I, some kind of baby?)  I do, however, like nothing more than poking things with my index finger, so Mommy and Daddy have come to call that “binking” things.

I bink things quite a lot, as you can see.  Pretty much everything I come across gets probed (people, toys, food, you name it).  I especially like to press down on my rice puffs as if they’re tiddly winks, and send them shooting across the table.  My manual dexterity is improving, however, and just after my nine month birthday (February 24) I managed to get a rice puff into my own mouth for the first time!
