Puppy Turns One!



Puppy turned one on Sunday. I can't believe how quickly his first year flew by. I feel like I've been pregnant for so long but yet his first year went by so quickly. It probably has to do with me getting pregnant soon after he was born. Well, we had a very low key celebration. We were deciding on having many people to celebrate with us via a DOL celebration either at our home or at a restaurant but it's hard when when my side of the family is not here and it would be impossible to make it and hubs family is Caucasian. It's a Korean tradition for a huge celebratory for a 1st birthday and we thought that since hubs side is busy with a wedding and graduation that we'd just keep it low key. It's funny, for Bunny (our first) we had a huge celebration at a korean restaurant and with Lamb we cut down on the guest list and had it at our house and Puppy just had us. He won't remember and with all the money and energy that goes out in planning a party, I was glad to have it low key. However Bunny was initially disappointed.

Me: Bunny, we are going to have Puppy's party today.
Bunny: oh, yeah! Who's coming?
Me: no one.. it's just us..
Bunny: Oh man! That's boring!
Me: what !? are you saying we're Boring?
Bunny: (thinking) no, I mean. Me and Lamb will be there, right?
Me: of Course
Bunny: then it'll be fun! (then she runs off)

Good save that girl. She never wants to hurt my feelings.

Bunny was excited to dress in the hanbok and take pictures with Puppy. Lamb fell in love with her hanbok. She kept saying how beautiful she was and twirled around. They both really love their brother. It's amazing how well they play all together. Puppy loves his sisters. He's always trying to copy them and just be around them. When they both go to school, Puppy would look over the house looking and calling for them. It's hard for me because he's always pointing at the door to go outside and look for them.

We did the dol jabi. He bee lined for the paint brush so an artist, it is.

Puppy is taking steps on his own constantly and he can walk across a large room unsteadily but he gets there. He'll be running soon and I'll have to run after him. oh!!! I hope that it won't be too soon.

Oh, do you like my Ghetto dol table? my mom was adamant that I take pictures with a Dol table set up. How do you do that ? Just pile fruit on the table... what... this was my attempt. Ghetto, no?

Happy Birthday Jonah! Your kids look so cute in their hanboks! And that fruit looks yummy. Good job on the table... really! I totally wouldn't have gone through the effort. What a great mom!
Emma cracks me up- she's such a sweet girl!

Not at all! It looks marvelous, and he looks so handsome! Jonah is lucky to have such lovely siblings. I feel bad to N that all he got is his boring mama, and this mama IS boring. :)
Wow, I can't believe Jonah is already walking by himself. Our N is such a careful scary-cat. He finally started walking on his own at 14 months! And when we're outside, he still wants to hold his mama's hand everywhere. Oi~
Oh, Happy Birthday, Jonah! He is so blessed to have such wonderful parents! :)

Good job mom! I am not really that into huge dol parties, so I dig your low-key affair. You have such a cute family!
