Mckayla has pretty decent appettite most of the time. But last few days, her appettite is even better than usual. It started last Friday, she’s been in love with white rice. Nanny usuallly cooks brown rice for her at home but she was never that interested when we fed her white rice in the past. [...]

Comprehension
Mckayla watched a lot of TV for two weeks while she’s on nebulizer. During the two weeks, she finally got tired of Barney, and started watching other shows, including “Ni Hao Kai Lan”, “Sesame Street”, “Clifford the Big Red Dog”, and “Pet Star” (animal planet). Most of the time, she wants to watch the singing [...]

Please excuse her language
Mckayla’s new word is “shit shit”. No, we are not teaching profanity at home. But that’s Mckayla’s version of “Thank You” in Chinese.

Up North and Down South
We started out our weekend by a surprise from Ted. He decided to take the day off and hung out with me and Mckayla. We went out to grab breakfast at the bakery, then headed to the farmer’s market to pick up some fruits and vegetables. While were there, Ted got to witness Mckayla’s street [...]

Little Pig
Mckayla still has pretty big fat rolls in her thighs. I was told that they’ll be gone when she starts to walk. It’s true for most kids I’ve seen, but she’s been walking for quite a while now and the fat rolls are still there. I make fun of her and call them little piggy [...]

It’s all my fault

I tried to get Mckayla to say a few words to Greatgrandma, but all I got was “Googooga”, which is the sound she makes for a chicken. I told Greatgrandma that Mckayla has [...]

Read to Me!
Mckayla loves to read and her attention span has also improved. She used to grab a book and want us to read to her, but moves on after a couple pages. Now, she sits through the entire book most of the time. First thing in the morning, when she gets up, I usually change her [...]

That’s my daughter!
Mckayla was cranky after waking up from her nap over the weekend. She wanted to be held and wouldn’t let me put her down. I offered to take her to the backyard to play bubbles, she shook her head. I asked if she wanted to watch Barney on TV, she shook her head. I offered [...]

Mckayla’s First Easter Egg Hunt
We met up with Fritz, Sophia, and Erin for the Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday. It was the first for both Erin and Mckayla. We got there shortly before the event started. And we were not very good at hunting the eggs, at least Ted and I were not very good at it. By the [...]

Mckayla’s new sounds
Mckayla farted earlier today while I was holding her. While she was farting she looked at me and said “prrrrr”. Later, I smelled something funny and asked Mckayla if she farted. She turned around and said “prrrrr”. Nanny taught Mckayla a new word in Chinese. It’s “I know” (知道). I don’t understand how she can [...]
