Luke's newest word is "woof", which he pronounces "oof oof oof." He crawls around on the floor "pretending to be a doggie," saying "oof oof oof oof..." We don't really have very many dogs in our life, but he is quite impressed when he sees one. He loved seeing his aunt's cat this weekend, but I am quite sure he thought it was a dog.
This reminds me that our next door dog is really good with kids. When Amanda was about Luke's age, when ever she would see the dog in the yard (a BIG golden retriever) she would run over to see him---whether I was going with her or not. I was worried at first, but I noticed that if Amanda would get near to the dog, he would lie down and wait patiently for her to pet him---he might lick Amanda, but would definitely not jump or get excited. What a sweet dog. We had a job teaching her that not all dogs were that sweet.
For a while now every time Luke sees a crawling baby he will get down on his hands and knees. He does say the word "baby".
