learning to pray

Makayla has always been really good with praying - doing praying hands, sitting quiet and still even if the prayer is long. Recently, she's learned to close her eyes too! And depending on what language the prayer is, she'd say "Amen" or "Ah moon" afterwards. Here's a video of Mak praying with a group of Chinese aunties and uncles from her great grandma's church during our visit to Vancouver BC last weekend.

strawberries

Makayla loves fruit, but she definitely goes crazy over strawberries. If we left her alone with a 1 lb box of strawberries, she'd eat the whole thing by herself. We have to show her that there's actually no more left before she stops asking for more.

Today she counted the strawberries in her bowl (6 of them) and then found the biggest one, held it up and said "big!" She kept holding it up and I finally realized that she wanted to give it to me. So cute.

flower girl

Mak was invited to be a flower girl at her first cousins' Ian & Kyla's wedding on June 10, 2012. (Thanks Ian & Kyla!!!)

Usually, Mak doesn't like putting on dresses but this time, she willingly let me put this on her. I think she realizes it's a special dress because she immediately broke out in dance and twirls. She enjoyed posing in front of the mirror and the camera for the next 20-30 minutes.
