It’s easier now that Mckayla ays what she wants to eat. Before, it was a guessing game. We ask and point, then she approves with a nod or shakes her head (with crying sometimes) to disapprove. Now she makes her request loud and clear – “fan fan” (rice), “mien mien” (noodle), “bao bao” (bread), “tsai [...]

Hand Me Downs
As I was cleaning up my closet too make more space, I rediscovered my box of stuffed animals. The old stuffed animals that survived through the years – Winne the Pooh, Tigger, Big White Harp Seal Huggie, Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel (her boyfriend) in wedding outfits from McDonald’s, 2 Teddy Bears, Zashikibuta (pig from [...]

My Name is Nemo
Mckayla sleeps with lots of “stuff” in her crib. She’s got Patrick the Dog, giraffe, pig, little white dog (she calls her MeiMei), Glow Worm, Baby in the Pod, and Nemo. Of all of her friends in the crib, Glow Worm and Nemo “talk”. Few nights ago, Ted and I woke up around two in [...]

We all enjoyed Indian food
We went out for Indian tonight for dinner. My Mom had never had Indian food before and she wanted to try it out. We went to a buffet restaurant so she could have more choices to sample the different kinds of food. But, after we were seated, we realized they no longer serve dinner buffet [...]

Swing and Slide in the Backyard
Ted finaly put together the swing and slide set we bought for Mckayla for her first birthday. On Saturday, despite being very ill, Ted and Mckayla did a test run after he had put them together (took him almost the entire day with many interruptions… lunch, Mckayla vomitted x 2, missing tools, confusing instructions). Mckayla [...]

First Movie
Mckayla was feeling much better on Sunday. She slept through most of the night and didn’t wake up from coughing until six in the morning. Ted went to check on her and they both fell asleep again. We decided to head to the movie theatre for matinee showing of the “Up”. Mckayla did pretty well [...]

Pee in the Potty
This all happened on Thursday evening while Mckayla’s very ill. But since it’s her first time ever, I think it deserved a blog entry of its own. While I was getting her bath ready (the first for that night), Mckayla sat in her potty seat. She got up a few times and finally sat still [...]

Sick Baby
Nanny called me yesterday at work to tell me Mckayla’s not feeling well. She started with cough the day before and went to bed with a low grade fever. She got up in the morning and was doing pretty decent. Drank her milk and ate her breakfast. But by lunch time, she was very upset [...]

Mature Look?
We’ve been told that Mckayla “looks” older than her age many times. Most people guess she’s 2 year old when she was barely one. It’s not because she’s bigger physically but I think it’s her face. Last week, the receptionist Peggy at Gymboree told me that Mckayla looks very mature now, more like a little [...]

First Sweet Treat
We left Mckayla at home with her Nanny and my Mom on Sunday while Ted and I went out for a big treat with our friends. We brought back some yummy bread and sweet treats from the restaurant and bakery. Here’s a picture of Mckayla enjoying her first very sweet treat – shortbread cookie. She [...]
