Yesterday, Ted played with Mckayla while I was cooking dinner. Ted asked Mckayla, “where’s your belly button?”. She pointed to her tummy. Neither of us taught her the bellybutton. And I checked with the Nanny this morning, she was surprised that Mckayla knows her bellybutton, too. I think she learned it from her cousin Brandon [...]

Greatgrandpa misses Mckayla
My Mom finally picked up the photo album from the studio pictures that Mckayla took in Taiwan in December. First time she showed my Grandpa the pictures, he gave her the thumbs up and a big smile. The second time she showed them to him, he asked her when she’s (Mckayla) coming back. My Mom [...]

DaMoo
Mckayla hasn’t spoken any real words yet. Just occassional “MaMa” here and there. But last few days, she’s been saying “DaMoo” repeatedly. I still can’t figure out what she’s referring to. Ted thinks it’s her imaginery friend. *Mckayla (and I) are sick again. This marks her cold #3 for the month of January*

Another Road Trip
We got on the I-5 again this weekend, but headed in the other direction for LA for Chinese New Year. Mckayla did very well on the road but we made few more stops this time. First stop was for Ted. Shortly after we made it over the Pacheco Pass, Ted had already his morning coffee [...]

Scary Things
Mckayla has fear towards the strangest things. At least, strange for me. Auntie Deborah got her a princess chair that sings for her birthday. For some reason, she’s scared of the chair. She would cry whenver she sees the chair, so we had to hide it in the guest room. To get it out of [...]

Common Sense?
I took Mckayla to Gymboree for her makeup class this morning. We were the first ones there but it started to fill up soon as the kids and their parents started to arrive. Friday classes were not as organized as the Saturday classes because half the attendees are kids with their Nannies. The kids tend [...]

Don’t hang up the phone without saying goodbye!
Last night, Ted was on the phone with us on his way to the airport. We talked on the speakerphone while Mckayla held on to the phone as usual. She kept waiving to the phone and smiling when she realized Daddy was on the phone. Ted was about to get off the cab so we [...]

Diaper Rash
Mckayla has been eating a lot. I was home with her this morning, and she drank 10 oz of milk when she woke. I accidentally pour too much in her bottle and figured I would just toss whatever she didn’t finish. And to my surprise, she drank the entire bottle and handed me the empty [...]

Phone = Grandma?
Last night, I asked Mckayla, “where’s A-ma (grandma in Taiwanese)?”. She looked around and grabbed the phone and put it up against her ear. So I called my Mom up and put her on the speakerphone while Mckayla was holding the phone next to her ear to let her talk to Grandma. Later, Ted was [...]

Teeth #13 & #14
Mckayla’s incisors came out. She’s been drooling a lot more than usual which she never did with the other teeth. While I was playing and tickling her upside down yesterday, I noticed her lower right and and left incisors have broken through her gum. Three of the molars are about half way out now, but [...]
