You need: nothing at all.

  1. Watch for your baby pointing at something.
  2. Look where they point and name it: "The light!"
  3. Add one more word: "The light is on."
  4. Point at things yourself and name them too.

Builds: language and talking. Pointing is your baby asking you a question, and naming the thing is the answer.
