1st Word - Dog

On our Oregon trip Maylee was around five dogs (Yankee, Libby, Dakota, Mason, and Elsie).  When she would see one she would point to it and consistently say dog without the /g/.  So, dog is her first word!  She says Mama and Dada but I'm not convinced that she is calling us our names vs just saying those sounds. 

Here she is trying to be the boss of Yankee (the only dog of the five that wasn't a lab).

When we got back, Cinder stayed with Maylee and I instead of Kev because he was called out to a couple fires.  Maylee LOVED her time with Cinder!  Although, there were times when Cinder was tired and wanted to sleep and Maylee would crawl over and bother her dog.  Cinder would have an annoyed older sibling look on her face, get up and find a new spot to lay down, and then move again after Maylee crawled after her and bothered her more.  Maylee just loves to "pat-pat" Cinder, crawl up and over Cinder, and pull on Cinder's ears, jowls, eyes, and tail.  Cinder puts up with this abuse and will walk away when she has had enough.
