Doggy

We have been patiently waiting to hear Kira's first word. She has been babbling mama and dada for a while now and one might argue that those were her first words. But it was so hard to distinguish between babbling and an actual word...when do you decide that it is finally her first word?
So we have been playing a game for a while now. Where's the....doggy, cat, baby, dolly, block? You know, ask her again and again and when she finally looks at the right thing you jump up and down and cheer wildly like she's the next contestant on The Price Is Right? She definately knows "cat" and "brittany" (our dog), so I figured that one of those would be her first words.
This morning, we played that game again. Brittany was in the kitchen waiting for Kira to drop some food off the high chair. I said "where's Brittany? Where's the doggy?" Kira looked down at Brittany, pointed her finger at her and said "doggy." Plain as day. Doggy. Of course, I was so stunned I forgot to jump up and down and cheer for a few seconds! But, once I did, Kira was so happy with herself that she has been repeating "doggy" all day!
