Last night, Mckayla was eating like her usual self again after two days of “diet”. For two days, she ate really well during the day with Nanny and refused her dinner. Monday night, she barely had any water at dinner. Then on Tuesday, she ate few bites of the tortilla from my taco with guacamole. [...]

Active Baby
Yesterday when I hugged Mckayla, baby in my belly kicked. He kicked hard enough that Mckayla felt something. She pulled herself away to examine my belly. Then, as she watched, baby kicked again. She said, “MaMa’s tummy is moving”. She lifted up her own shirt and felt her tummy with her hand, then said, “KK’s [...]

Merry Christmas
Mckayla got her early Christmas present when Uncle Jeff arrived on Christmas Eve. She was very happy to see him when she woke up from her nap and even more happy when he handed her new toys. By the time I got home from work, they were best friends again. She wanted Uncle Jeff to [...]

Reading = Sleep?
Last night we were walking back to the car after we grabbed some ice cream to satisfy my post dinner cravings (Mckayla got a few licks of the ice cream and few bites of the sugar cone). She’s been putting up a fight when it’s time to go to bed and trying to delay it [...]

Early Christmas Dinner
We had our early Christmas dinner on Sunday. Ted had missed Thanksgiving the past two years and wanted to make turkey for everyone. He picked up a 15-lb turkey and brined it over night before he put it on the smoker on Sunday afternoon. Everyone arrived promptly but the turkey was not ready at 6PM [...]

Christmas in the Park
We started our Saturday with a nice “Southern” breakfast. The restaurant was small and packed, but we got seated quickly after a short ten minute wait. The food was yummy but the portion was way too big. It was a protein and fat loaded meal for Mckayla, she enjoyed the chicken fried steak and sausages [...]

Delayed Reaction
My Dad called last night looking for Mckayla. I’ve been too busy this past week and haven’t made my usual calls to Taiwan. Mckayla heard the phone rang and ran to pick it up herself. She doesn’t know how to answer it yet and handed to Ted. Ted handed the phone back to Mckayla to [...]

Change of Course
Mckayla has been on the oral and topical antibiotics for four days as of Monday. The spots on her face are looking better and so do most on her feet. But there were two spots on her left foot that got more red and inflammed when I got home from work on Monday. I called [...]

Impetigo
Mckayla’s bites on her face and feet got worse after we returned from Taiwan. She’s been scratching them and few spots looked raw. And she even got a few new ones. So I took her in last Friday to have the pedi take a look. Pedi said she developed impetigo from scratching and put her [...]

Calling for Help
Mckayla was very upset for some unknown reason last night after dinner. She kept crying and I couldn’t understand what she was trying to tell me. She’s almost fully adjusted with the jet lag but gets very cranky and tired at the end of the night. I asked her to stop crying so she can [...]
