Communication...or Why I'm Sure You Are Stubborn

We, probably me as much as anyone, have been worried that you are a bit speech delayed.  Maybe you have something wrong with your hearing.  Maybe you're just a little slow.  Whatever.  Your great uncle Douglas suggested we get you checked and we certainly plan to do that.  If you need help, we want you to get it. 

So far, you use two words consistently..."shoe" and "up".  Today, I got the following message from your Dad:

While getting Dylan a snack, he pulled the dog treats out of the cupboard, took one out of the box, held it out, looked at the dog, and said "sit". Wasn't sure I heard it right the first time he said it but he did it 2 more times after that. Well now that just makes you seem stubborn :)  We love you so much and appreciate watching you learn and grow but, could you just decide to go ahead and tell me what you need when you wake up fussy in the middle of the night?  Seems like that might make things a bit easier for the both of us!
