"Dog" and "Cat"

Here come the puppies!  She is having so
much fun petting and playing with them.

   Jewell's newest consistent word is "dog."  She points to Benelli and says, "Dog!"  She looks at the puppies and says, "Pup," a lot of the time, but sometimes says, "Dog," for them also.
   She also absolutely loves our cats.  She is saying, "Cat," and pointing to them, or other times she says, "Kitty."  I have such a smart girl.  She is really excelling verbally. I am impressed at how much she is saying and pointing to items.

She loves the music and lights on the fun
tables as she plays on them, standing on her own.

   Plus, now, she is getting around very well.  She is really enjoying this new found independence of crawling.  She is going to be walking in no time.  Once I help her get to her feet, she is also standing at her Leap Frog tables on her own.  

Liz is spotting Jewell as she uses this cart to
walk across the living room on her own!

Jewell is cheering as the puppies eat
while she and Liz play in the yard.

A new favorite thing for Jewell to do in the beautiful spring
green grass outside is to pick handfuls of it and try to put it
in her mouth to eat.  We are trying to get her to stop, but
she just isn't listening.  My friends assure me that it is
just a phase.  

"Pups!"
