We have a wonderful neighbor, Abe, who has a dog named Jack. Abe got Jack as a puppy not that long after you were born and this was one darn cute puppy. For several months you have been mesmerized by dogs we come across on the street... not to mention Jack! This afternoon Abe was having friends over in the yard and they brought friends for Jack as well. We sat out back so you could watch the kids and dogs frolicking. I have been identifying "doggie" for awhile now and said the word over and over for you to hear while pointing and Jack and friends. You tried! You clearly said, several times, a two syllable word beginning with /d/. This might very well be your first actual word!!
While we were sitting watching the other neighbor, three-year-old Juniper running around with Jack I was overwhelmed by a mom feeling. You were so eager to get out there and play, run, and chase... but you can't even yet stand by yourself! I wanted so badly for you to be able to join in the fun you were so excited by. But at the same time, I am perfectly fine with the wait. My little girl can remain little a little while longer.
