Last night, while I was talking to my Mom and Grandma on the phone, Mckayla kept fighting to take the phone away from me. She gets all excited when she heard her name from the receiver and started babbling back at the receiver. And that definitely created lots of excitement on the other end of [...]

Progress
Mckayla has been cruising along furnitures for a while now but hasn’t made much progress. She loves to get down and “walk” herself but we have to hold her up with both hands. But this past weekend, she’s made some progress. Our friend Nhi/Thoi with their son Khoa visiting from Virginia brought Mckayla yet antoher new [...]

Table Etiquette
Mckayla’s appettite has been erratic. Some days she would eat a bunch and other days she would only nibble on few pieces of Cheerios and yogurt. And the worst part, she doesn’t like to be fed by spoon. She prefers to pick the food up on her own or I hand feed to her with [...]

Kick the Ball
When I came home yesterday, Nanny told me Mckayla can kick the ball. I couldn’t recall having any balls in the house, so I had no clue what the Nanny was talking about until Mckayla’s demonstration. Mckayla has a Sesame Street book called Zoe Scores Goal (I think that’s the title). The book has a [...]

Where’s the teacher?
We bought several books in Chinese for Mckayal from our last Taiwan visit. Some of the books were English books that have been translated into Chinese. One of her favorite books is Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?. We’ve been pointing out “teacher” (Chinese) in one of the page in the book. Two [...]

They were having their bonding time since Jackie was leaving tonight for the Philippines for the next few months. She finally got Mckayla to kiss when she was showing her [...]

Lasix again…
We’ve been trying to re-establish Mckayla’s sleeping routine. She used to fall asleep herself in the crib after her last bottle. We were able to put her down and she would played for a bit by herself then doze off. Since we moved back from my parents’ house after Cancun trip (Fourth of July), she’s [...]

Give
Mckayla’s new trick of the moment is to pass things to people. She would pick up anything (including lint from the rug) and hand it to who’s nearby. We started teaching her “give to XXXX” both in Chinese and English last few days and have been pretty successful most of the time. She loves playing with [...]

Imitation
Poor MeiMei’s been coughing more last week, not sure if she got sick also from me, Mckayla and Jackie. But every time MeiMei coughs, Mckayla would cough, too. And she also tries to sneeze (not very successful) when I sneeze. And she hears Ted and Jackie burp (I don’t know how to burp intentionally like them), she [...]
