First Word Watch

Ian might have said his first word last Saturday. He looked at my friend Kristy's dog and said "dog". He did it at Melanie's house the next day with her greyhounds and seems to have done it a few times with my sister's dog, Teddy. I'm not ready to call it, yet, though. I know he understands the word, "dog", and he seemed to be referring to dogs when he used it, but didn't repeat it when asked so I can't be sure. He also seemed to have said "duck" a few times since we've been in Georgia when holding his rubber duckie. He does know the word "duck" because he will go pick it up out of a pile of toys when asked, but I can't be sure. Therefore, we are in First Word Watch, waiting for confirmation.
