Mikaela Takeya, an 8-month-old Honolulu infant, is featured in the November issue of Babytalk Magazine.

She was one of the eight semi-finalists — drawn from 50,000 entries — for the Good Morning America/Babytalk Magazine Cover Contest.

According to the magazine, at the photo shoot Mikaela was "shy at first, but by the end of the day, she was flashing one sassy grin after another."
