There was a news segment last night about how smart dogs are. They say they are smarter than a toddler (big achievement?? LOL). They say an average dog can learn about 165 words/commands, smarter breeds such as Border Collies, Poodles and German Shepards, can learn up to 250 words. They also can read body and sign language. Dogs can understand basic math and can count to 4 or 5. It was a short news segment, but pretty interesting!

So talk away, because your baby probably DOES understand some of what you are saying!
