Mckayla’s little confused with her “tricks”. Jackie’s been patting Mckayla’s mouth and making “WowWowWow” sounds. She picked it up very fast and does it herself now, with two hands though. Jackie also taught her to raise her arms up high when she says “Champion”. But now when I tell Mckayla, “clap your hands” in Chinese, she opens and closes [...]

Mckayla’s 10 Months Old!
It’s hard to believe how fast time flies by and Mckayla is already 10 months old. She’s now an expert crawler and can get almost anywhere she want on her own, including climbing on and off the couch. She’s still cruising along furnitures and can momentarily let go her hands while she’s standing before toppling [...]
