XOXO
Mckayla had a busy weekend entertaining families. Uncle Andre and Ted’s family (a.k.a. grandparents, auntie, and cousins) were in town this weekend. After a couple weeks of teaching her “hug”, she’s now able to give hugs on command and when she’s in a good mood. And Auntie Jackie has been teaching her how to kiss. [...]

Vaccum
Ted was away for the night yesterday for work. When I was trying to grab a plate to cut up peaches for Mckayla, I knocked over some bowls in the cabinet and broke one of them. Shards were everywhere all over the counter and kitchen floor. To contain the damage and prevent injury, I put [...]

MeiMei comes to the rescue
Ted tried to put Mckayla to sleep last night but it didn’t work. Right before 9:30PM, Ted gave Mckayla her last bottle. But after I finished pumping and cleaned up the dishes about 1/2 hour later, Ted, Mckayla, and MeiMei were still sitting on the couch. Apparently, he had tried all his tricks, read Counting [...]

Mckayla was more interested in MeiMei than me when she got on the bed. She poked MeiMei and MeiMei licked her in return. Another gentle poke, [...]

Baby Food
Mckayla started to reject pureed baby food. Two days ago, Mckayla refused to eat the pureed strawberries/blueberries mixture that I made for her and we thought maybe it was too tart. Yesterday, Nanny fed her ground chicken and pureed sweet peas for lunch and she ate almost the entire serving (~6 oz) that I prepared [...]

Readjusting
Since we moved back to our house on Friday night, Mckayla’s been having cranky nights. Waking up at 2AM and refusing to go back to her own crib. For the first two nights, we gave in and let her sleep in our bed until the morning. Sleeping in the same bed with her in Cancun [...]

Sleeping on the Job
Mckayla has few obligations everyday – eat, sleep, poop, pee, and play. Few nights ago, she was so exhausted after a long day of hard work, she fell asleep while eating her peaches. Check out the video!
