Touchy

C-bao has turned out to be quite a touchy-feely girl. She has loved to touch animals, for example, from an early age (despite being simultaneously petrified). Whenever she sees a dog walking by, she shouts, "摸它! 摸它!" (Touch it! Touch it!).

Predictably, she has turned out to be a big fan of petting zoos, and will run around like a glutton at a buffet, from one animal to the next.

Here she is with the goats:

And the pigs:

And the rabbits:

She can also be quite friendly with any little cuties she sees at the park or on a play date, insisting on generously doling out hugs whether requested or not. Here is a young gent she met in Scottsdale who was quite pleased with all the attention.

In other cases, such as with stalwart little Emmett, a friend she sees from time to time, the affection is not as visibly appreciated.

Doggie Hike

C-bao has made enormous progress in walking by herself over the past few weeks during Grandma's visit, and now is able to traverse the length of the house without help. Yes, soon she will be running at top speed and crashing around the house causing a ruckus, as her sister did at this age.

Here she is taking a hike by Lands End with the family, during which she encounters a dog. As we know, C-bao is a big fan of the canine species ("Wof Wof! Wof Wof!" she says) and forced C-Pop to turn around and follow Spot for a while.

Fetch

C-bao has always had a thing for colorful balls and balloons.

Here she makes up a little game for C-Pop, namely "Fetch," with herself as the master and C-Pop as the dog.
