While my Mom was eating strawberrries, Mckayla kept fighting to grab them away from her. So she offered Mckayla a bite of the strawberry. She finished the piece that she bit off and opened her mouth asking for more. My Mom offered her another bite. As she became more “comfortable” with eating the strawberries, she [...]

Self Feed Trial #1
We gave Mckayla Gerber’s fruit puffs for the first time today. She has been perfecting her pincer grasps – picking things up with her thumb and index finger. But still has yet to master her hand-eye-mouth coordination. She can pick up the food easily but had a hard time releasing it to get it into her mouth. [...]

Mckayla broke her record!
Yesterday, we went to the wedding of Ted’s friends, Neil and Rosalyn, in Monterey without Mckayla. She had a great time playing with Jackie and my Mom, but was not interested in eating at all the entire afternoon and evening. It was the first night that I didn’t put her to bed. But they must [...]

Mckayla the Fast Crawler….backwards only
Mckayla has became very efficient at crawling – backwards. She can move from end of the playmat to the other end within seconds. That also means she’s getting away from the toys she’s trying to grab even faster and she’s not too happy about that. But if something is by her feet, i.e. human body [...]

MeiMei misses Fluffy
Last night, Ted and I drove to our house to pick up mail. We took MeiMei with us and left Mckayla at home with my Mom, my Aunt, and Jackie. She had a good time sticking her head out the window as the wind blew her hair flying all over her face and barely kept [...]

Power Outage
Last night, around 11PM, the power went out all the sudden. Jacckie mentioned there was a PG&E truck outside when she drove home from Safeway about an hour before. We were so unprepared for emergencies. We couldn’t find flash lights, and once we found them, they were either out of battery or just simply broken. [...]

Mckayla and MeiMei love yogurt!
I gave Mckayla yogurt for the first time last night and she enjoyed it very much. She had Stonyfield Farm Yo Baby Whole Milk Yogurt Simply Plain and loved it! Even MeiMei got to a little taste of it too from Mckayla’s left over. At the end of the feeding, both Mckayla and MeiMei had [...]

Unknown Flying Object
During the drive home from Half Moon Bay yesterday, Ted’s car got hit by an unknown flying object on I-280. I was riding with Jackie on the way home, so didn’t know exactly what happened. But from what I heard (from Ted, my Mom, and my Aunt), 3 seconds after they changed lane on the freeway, [...]

Mckayla the Social Butterfly
We went to Half Moon Bay for Sunday brunch to celebrate my Mom’s 60th birthday today. The weather was great, little bit windy but was sunny and not too cold. Mckayla got to dress up for the day. She behaved pretty well for the 2.5 hour meal. After lunch, we went home and rested for [...]
