Updates on our baby

trying to do it all

Leah is trying to do so many new things these days - stand up, crawl, talk . . . She's getting into everything and that's just with her scooting skills! I'm a little worried about when she starts moving for real! She babbles all the time and it sounds like real speech a lot these days - it's pretty cute. Her top two teeth have also broken through, but they're not visible just yet. I think she might be working on some molars too since she rubs her cheeks and ears constantly (and the doc assured me no ear infection). She had a 9 month check-up a couple weeks ago and was 20 pounds and 30 inches. We're going to Chicago together next week for a wedding, and then the whole family will be traveling to Korea again in September. Leah and I are also going to go to Singapore for a week with Megan while Min works for a week in the Philippines. Hopefully Leah will continue to be a good travel buddy! I don't think she'll fit in the bulkhead bassinet on our flights this time, so we're hoping she'll sleep okay in our laps.

teeth!

Leah finally has a couple of teeth - the bottom two teeth are here! I keep waiting for the teething to end, but it never does and according to other parents I've asked it probably won't for a couple year. Yikes :( It's been a rough couple of weeks for poor little Leah with the teeth coming in, but she just keeps on trucking in spite of it. She's starting to get very interested in animals now which is very cute. I think she started noticing them when we were at Prospect Park the other day and some very brave squirrels were eating peanuts out of our hands. Leah kept screeching at them and trying to touch them, and since then she does the same when she sees, dogs, cats, and birds. I think it might be time to take her to the petting zoo again - pictures will be forthcoming! Leah and I are going to Florida on June 18 - unfortunately Min will be in India and England for work for a few weeks so he won' be able to make it, but beach pics are on their way too!

growing girl

Leah's getting so big these days - she's rolling and talking all the time, she's eating solids in earnest, she's sitting up and loving it, she's getting close to crawling. I can't believe how much she's changed in just a few months! I have a feeling she'll be walking and talking before we know what hit us. We've been having a good month. Grandma and Grandpa came to visit. We've been taking mommy and me swim classes at the Y and continuing with Music Together classes. And we're going to Florida next month! (unfortunately Min will be in India and England for work, but I'm sure the pictures of Leah on the beach will still be excellent!)

We're back!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted pictures! We were in Asia for almost a month so I wasn't able to download the photos, but we took plenty of them! As you can see from the photos, Leah is getting so big - she even had her first haircut already! We had such a great time visiting Min's family in Korea and also visiting with friends in Beijing. Leah was a pretty good traveler - the air travel wasn't a problem, but the jet lag going and coming back were a little rough. But all in all she did very well, and continues to amaze us with new tricks everyday. I promise I won't wait so long to post new photos and videos this time!

5 months

I can't believe we have a 5 month old baby already! It seems like the time is flying, and at the same time it feels like we've known her forever. She really is turning into a real person these days. I got so sad for a moment looking at her the other day because she seemed so much older already. But it's exciting too to have a baby who's so much more interactive and fun - she loves smiling and laughing and playing these days. It doesn't take much to get her grinning. I'm also excited to report that she rolled from back to tummy for the first time today (though sadly I didn't catch this one on film like her tummy to back roll).

 

I think this website will be a nice way to keep everyone posted on all these milestones in Leah's life. We tend to take lots of photos and videos and make digital photo art projects of Leah (the photo book below we created for Min's dad), and we can share all of that here.

 

Hope you enjoy the site - I know I'm going to have fun creating it!

Some friends told me they were having trouble copying pictures from Shutterfly to save on their computers, but I think I figured out how to do it. Just click on the picture you want to copy to see the larger view of it, and then click "Download this picture" to the right of the photo - that will let you save the photo wherever you like and then you can make it wallpaper for your computer or whatever you want to do. It works on my computer anyway, so hopefully it will work on yours too!
