Raya has loved doggies since she could recognize what they were. It was her first word at about 10.5 months while watching a video one morning she pointed and said "daaagie"! Well she still calls out every dog she she's in books, on sidewalks, on TV and of course her very own Zara. She still doesn't say mom but can say Zara...I won't take offense because its so cute!
Grandma Schuster just got her a new stuffed animal dog (her first one) and she carries it all around, hugs it and when I asked what she named it she said "daaagie" ;). Seems appropriate in following after her dad who named some of his early dogs "puppy" and "fluffy" haha.
