"Dog"

I bet you'd never guess what Zach's second word was! "Papa" was his first (my Dad was very happy), and do you know that, though we have no pets at our house (because we do not want any pets at our house), our baby boy's second word is "Dog". He has gotten to spend a lot of time with his Grandma Linda in the past few weeks and she has two dogs, a cat and hamsters. He has grown an attachment to her newest dog, Belle, who is still a puppy, but will soon be a very big dog. He is not the least bit shy with this puppy or Lizzie, who is the original big "Dog". He chases after them and seems to want to imitate them even, he can pant like them, which is always good for a laugh, and he can eat his food off his tray with his mouth like them. He is a dog's best friend because he will always drop a little somethin somethin off his tray for his furry friends, now if we can only get him to not do that when the dogs aren't around, but Mommy is doing quite well in her training, because if the dogs are not there to pick it up, Mommy will, (the little stinker)! Don't get me wrong, I get the occassional "Mommy", when he gets upset (go figure), and we do hear the occassional "Dada", but his most frequent word spoken now, is Dog! He hears one barking, "Dog!", he sees one, "Dog!", even when we just pull up to Grandma's house now, "Dog!". No, we are not getting a dog, but he can go to Grandma's and see Lizzie and Belle any time he wants!
