Skyping with Harmunee and Haraboji:

Today you figured out how to reach into a box to pick up a toy!

Your first high chair

Your first opening of a gift:

Your first spoon.

Hangin' with the doggy:

Your first Christmas dinner with Margot:

You started "attempting" to crawl. Faceplant follows.

Today you started blabbing more. Literally, blablablabla!

Today you started refusing to sit and want to stand all the time!

Today you officially went from 3 naps to two!

You are starting to smile and laugh with a scrunchy nose!

I'm also having trouble with your recurring eczema rash.

Your second time in church nursery, playing with your friend Elliott.

You are beginning to show interest in Boston's ear. It probably seems like a tag to you.

Your first Christmas tree

You went to church nursery for the first time today. Auntie Betty said you were a champ!

After eating plums + yogurt.

After our trip to California, we arrived at two big psychological milestones. I acknowledged that you are human and can drink Brita water like anyone else (as opposed to boiled water) and I stopped recording your every poop and pee in your notebook. My baby is growing up. Sniff.

I don't think I'm going to fly alone with you anymore!

FaceTiming with your Daddy. He missed you so much during the 12 days we were gone.

Reunited with my UCLA dorm roommate after nearly a decade!

Harmunee and Haraboji bought you your first pair of Uggs at Nordstrom.

A rare photo with Mama.

This is what happens when you stay with Waipo. She turns you into a fob baby.

You've started to suck your blankie before going to sleep

I cannot tell you how much joy it brings me to see you with Waipo and Waigong.

You met lots of relatives this week.
