Ba, Ba, Baaaaaiiiiiiii....

Our little Nickolas is so smart!!!! Over the past several weeks I have been teaching Nickolas Bailey's name. Of course, Bailey is my chihuahua. Everytime Bailey came in the room I would say to Nickolas, "Look! There's Bailey." Or I would say something like, "Say hello to Bailey, Nickolas". You get the idea. So before you know it, we are asking Nickolas, "Where's Bailey?" and he would look in the floor everytime to try and find him. So because of that progress we would recognize Bailey anytime he was near Nickolas, and Nickolas would just stare at Bailey. Over the past week or two we have noticed Nickolas putting his lips together to make the "B" sound. We would yell for Bailey like this, "Baaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiley!", and Nickolas would say, "Ba, Ba" It was so cute. This past weekend we noticed even MORE improvement! Now Nickolas will say, "Baaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiii..." We were so excited when he started doing this. Just when we thought he was making fabulous improvement, he surprised us all. Tiffany and Wes were at Wes's mom and dad's house on Sunday, and they have 2 little dogs. When they came running in, Nickolas said, "Baaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiii...". How smart is he?!?!?! So he knows that dogs are supposed to be "Bailey". At only 9 and a half months old, you wouldn't think he would pick up on stuff like that. We are so excited and can't wait to teach him something new.....Tonya, perhaps?
