A friend of mine has a 1 year old (as of today, actually). The other day we were finally sitting down and actually getting to play a game of the new Mechwarrior with the real miniatures. He was holding his son on his lap and his son kept reaching for his dice.
I then went into the other room and grabbed some plastic blocks from my birthday present to him. While his father was playing the game he proceeded to "roll" the blocks onto the table and floor.
Of course, this is also the same child who is continually reaching for my RPG bookshelf when he is visiting my apartment. Not any of the other bookshelves, just that one.

Let me add my congratulations as well! I have a 10 month old son who rolled an 18 on his first attempt ever. The cool thing was that the weapon was a keen longsword. He then lost interest but had he payed attention to the follow up roll he would have also seen his first critical hit. The group was thrilled for him... he was more interested in the glass of coke beside me and then things went south...
Baby's first game . . .
It's interesting hearing about other gamers with children and how they become involved in gaming.
This last week also made me realize some of the other differences from the average american family . . .
My two-and-a-half year old played her first board game.
Whas it Candyland? Chutes and Ladders? Any of the other 'normal' kiddie games?
Nope.
It was the Lord of the Rings boardgame.
No, she didn't make all the decisions herself and we played 'open hand' so we could help her. But she organized her own cards, rolled the dice, picked the chits. And had incredible beginner's luck (We had our highest scoring game yet.)
