First Words

Yesterday Nicolaus said his very first word! What was it you ask? Dog of course! Well, it sounds more like "Dob" but he is definitely talking about Penny. Today I asked him, "Where's the dog," and he turned to Penny, said "Dob" and gave her a hug. This morning he also said Cat! Sometimes it sounds like "that" but every time it is directed at Roxy. When I was chasing him around the house this afternoon he saw her and said "That, That!" Too cute! He sooo wants to hug her and pet her just like he does Penny, but she will have none of that at all. He says "da-da" and "ma-ma" but we are not convinced he is directing it at us quite yet. The picture on the left is after our walk Monday afternoon when it was chilly outside. Notice the Penny hair all over his legs!
