Introducing my daughter Laylah

I thought it would be nice to provide an opportunity for people to learn a little more about my family and I decided a few photos would be helpful. Therefore, over the next few weeks, I'm planning on sharing a few photos of my family. I would have liked to have shared one photo of all of us but unfortunately, I don't have a recent one that looks nice.

Below is a photo of my daughter Laylah. She's just under 13 months old and is eating a cookie my mum gave her while babysitting.

Laylah has Australian citizenship through me and American citizenship through her mummy. She's 1/4 German and 1/4 Filipino from my side of the family and 1/2 Russian from her mummy. I think she's a beautiful example of how the world can grow closer. We're increasingly becoming a global village and this little cutey is a wonderful example of this.

My daughter loves playing with her brother Deedrick who is 3 and a half years old. She has her own toys but right now Deedrick's cars and trucks are more interesting than anything else. Laylah is also doing this weird thing at the moment where she pulls food out of her mouth and then puts it back in. This sometimes also involves smearing whatever she's been eating on her face and hair.

My side of the family think she looks more physically Asian but my wife's side thinks the Russian is increasingly shining through. I think she's a little clone of her mummy so I'm siding with the Russian looks.
