Pat a cake

When Mommy reads me this nursery rhyme, I do the "pat" and the "roll" with my hands! And I also pretend to "play the violin (fiddle)" when she reads ''The Cat and the Fiddle". In fact, I can almost say "violin". Okay well, you probably wouldn't know that was what I was trying to say, but Mommy can figure it out. I am saying a lot more these days, though my pronunciation is quite rough. But I am trying.

I've been doing okay these days. Getting a little rowdy sometimes. I love to spin or run in circles. It's funny. And I am a great climber now too. Check out my hiding picture. My balance is much better.

Over the weekend, I went to the SF Zoo with my pal Tristan. We had a blast. I roared like the lion! Roar! And a few days before, Uncle Kelvin and Tristan came over to play. Tristan loves to play with trains.

I've been very good at taking care of "baby", my doll. She usually doesn't leave home, so when we are at home, I spend a lot of time with her. I make sure to feed her some of my food, and to show her things in the books that Mommy reads. Sometimes when we are singing songs, I will help her clap and dance. And when she cries, I hold her and pat her on the back. Sometimes Mommy will sing "rock a bye baby" and I'll rock "baby" so she can take a nap.
