The bottom second molars are both out now (#17 and #18). Mckayla’s got two more second molars to go and we’ll be done for a while. We truly don’t enjoy the eruption period of those teeth and can’t wait til they’re all done.

Counting
Mckayla is making progress (or not) with her counting. She counts in English one through ten, but skips seven and eight. She counts in Chinese one through ten, but skips five and six.

Friendly Interaction
Mckayla and her friend Erin has a very interesting relationship. They’ve known each other since they’re both little babies (Erin’s almost 4 months older). Erin’s Mom, Sophia, babysat Mckayla when her Nanny wasn’t available when she was about 6 months old. So, Mckayla always gets very excited when she sees Auntie Sophia, giving her hugs [...]

It’s Out!
Mckayla’s first of the second molars is finally out. I can’t really see the back of her mouth, excpet when I lift her upside down and tickle her to laugh with her mouth wide open at the same time. I tried reaching with my finger but she wouldn’t even let my hand get close to [...]
