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.

With your great grandmother and cousin Joshua:

With aunt Grace:

With Harmunee and Haraboji:

With Waigong's birth parents:

With Chagun Appa and Chagun Umma:

I went to see my first movie since you were born. Still, 2 hours with Robert Pattinson is nothing compared to spending time with you!

You were a champ on your first flight with Mommy alone!

Your very own chair

You rolled over! (Finally!)

Not a fan of plums.

It is 5:00 p.m. on 4/14 and separation anxiety has officially started. You cried when I went upstairs, when I went to the other room to get my purse, and when I went across the room to close the blinds.

Your friend Margot's birthday party! Here with your favorite pediatrician:

Asparagus today!

New hairdo!

 

Your first time in the North End!

 

You started interacting more with the puppy this week.

 

 

You are starting to open your mouth when you want food. This makes meal times more fun.

 

Zucchini today!

Your first taste of water. Not a fan! At first I used a sippy cup but it gave you too much gas so now I'm feeding you water by spoon.

You love your blankie!

You are starting to move more independently. I see rolling over and sitting up sometime in your future.

Pears today!
