Thursdays with Caleb. {19}

{I'm embracing the blurry photo phase of life right now}

  We have a word! Caleb's first word! I'm sure I could argue that he has been saying 'mama' and 'dada' for months now, but really- he hasn't. He says them all the time, but assigns no meaning to them at all, so I don't count them as actual words. But anyways. He really truly has a word now. DOG! 
  I know. Could my dog-loving heart be any happier? He not only loves our dogs, he made it his very first word! He points at them or looks around for them, exclaiming 'DA!'- he's very clear interpretation of the word 'dog'. IT IS THE BEST THING EVER. 
  Every morning and after every nap, I let the dogs into Caleb's room before I go in and he loves it. He stands right up, points and reaches to pet them, and screams DA!  You can hardly tell from these photos {turns out dogs and toddlers don't cooperate for photos. rude}, but it is adorable. I usually make Murphy stand close to crib so Caleb and pet him and I can shake his fluffy tail for Caleb to giggle at. You'd be right in assuming Murphy hates it, but totally tolerates it.
  So that's it. you can resume your Thursday activities knowing that my life is 100% complete because my child's first word is DOG! :)
