Dancing

We went to Bainbridge today to visit the Kids Museum. It's pretty small compared to the one at home, but I still had a good time....dancing. You can check out the short video of my dancing, but you'll have to turn your head sideways...Mommy wasn't a good videographer this time.

We also did some clam digging today. The weather finally cleared and it was nice and warm, so out we went to dig and splash in the water. I "helped" put clams and such in the bucket. And then I mostly played in the water with Cameron. We helped each other get wet. What fun! We are pretty silly kids. I can now say "water" and it's pretty clear. I'm trying to talk a little bit more. I say a lot of things that no one can understand. I also like to sing. Whenever we go down to the beach, or come up from the beach, I usually sing. I'm not sure what song I'm singing, though.

The other day, Cameron and I were splashing down at the beach and he started talking (yelling to) this fisherman out in the bay. Later, after he dropped his nets, he came over and talked to us. Showed us some super big fish. Gung Gung and Paw Paw then took Cameron fishing. They didn't catch any fish, but then that nice fisherman came and gave us a "little" salmon. We ate it for dinner that night! I love fish. I just kept eating and eating and eating. Yum!

Kitsap County Fair

We went to the Fair again this year. Even though it was a little wet, (hey, this is the Pacific Northwest, no?) we had a great time checking out the animals.

Like the zebra, the cows, the baby piggies (they are so cute, just like Wilbur) and other fun animals. We even petting a few and I wasn't scared. The deal is...the animals have to be smaller than me, then I like them. I pet a duckling that was only 1 day old. He was so soft and furry. And a baby chick too.

Yay! Olympics!

So we've been watching a little Olympics after dinner. Tonight was synchronized diving. And so Cameron and I "practiced". We'd raise our arms up and "1, 2...3" and then crash on our bottoms! And then clap! Yay! Clap clap clap!!

wa mor - one more

Cameron has been doing flashcards with me. I will usually "repeat" what he says, but usually, all the words sound kinda the same. Ha ha.

My new favorite book is Goodnight Moon. Sometimes I want to read it 5 or 6 times at bedtime! And my other favorite is Pat the Bunny. And also How Big is Elmo (I follow along with all Elmo's motions). Oh, and I like How much I love you too. I can do all the motions too!

I've been doing a lot of new stuff lately....let's see. I can now go up and down the stairs (okay, there's only 2) in our house without assistance. In fact, I really love to "run" down the stairs. Well, I love running in general, but then my knees get all scraped up. Oh well. It's fun. I've also learned to "jump"...there isn't actually any liftoff, but I'm trying (copying big brother). Mommy reads me that book Green hat, Blue hat (we borrowed it from the library) and it has that silly turkey that wears everything silly...I laugh so hard when Mommy goes, OOOPS! Silly turkey.

new words for me...
Do do (dora)
boo (boots)
wa wa (water)
pop pop (popcorn)
nah neen (nectarine)
no (no) - when looking at pictures, Mommy will say, "is that daddy?" And it's clearly
not daddy...so I'll say..."NOOOOOOO..." and laugh silly.
boat
moo (moon)
sta (star)
ju (juice)
wa mor (one more, with pointed finger too)

I can be pretty loud, but mostly, I speak very softly, so you have to listen carefully.

Raspberries

So we've been pretty busy around here. I had lots of fun in Carmel at the farm. I got dirty...and I love to play in the dirt. I also ate lots of raspberries...right off the vine...I couldn't wait. Wash them, NAH! Eat them, YAH!

Splish Splash

I wasn't taking a bath! But I did get soaked! At first, I was not happy getting all wet...but that lasted all of 5 seconds when I realized what fun it really was. While blocking the spraying water, I would say,"Whooooaaaa!"....."Whooooaaaa!"

These are some of the words I say. Maybe I know more, but I can't remember them now. I don't eat much these days. The only thing I'll eat for sure is a half brick of tofu. I never fail to eat it up. Mommy used to make the tofu with other stuff into a dish, but then she spent the whole dinner digging the tofu out for me to eat. Now she just cubes it and puts some sauce on and voila! I eat that stuff up! I also like rice. And corn. Sometimes I'll have chicken too. And I love love love cheese. And popcorn. Oh, and I go thru phases with milk. Some days I love it...others...not so much.

And I'm drooling a little again. Probably from my teeth that are coming in. When I'm teething, I also don't like brushing my teeth. Mom or Dad will have to use that little finger toothbrush. I'd gotten used to the regular toothbrush, but lately my mouth hurts. Ai.

Fun stuff I've been doing. "Pretend" falling - I throw my arms up and fall down. Silly, right? And I love climbing...up on the couches, on the chairs, on the tables. Mommy tries to stop me, but I am too fast for her. We've been eating plums from our backyard everyday now. They are so sweet and juicy, but probably in a few more days, we'll have eaten them all!
