Wild Flowers!

The city of Richardson plants a large field of wild flowers in front of the public library every Spring, so we thought we'd take Caleb out for a little family photo shoot.

Here's some pics from that beautiful Sunday afternoon.

3 1/2 Months and Growing

So much has happened since the last post, thought it's about time for another update. Caleb just celebrated his 100th day birthday, a kind of landmark event within the Korean culture. It's hard to believe that tiny 6lb 11oz newborn who kept mommy and daddy up at ungodly hours of the night has now become a 16 lb little boy. Here's a picture of the three of us during his little birthday bash.


Yeah, Caleb's growing up so fast these day, really packing on the pounds and causing mommy to become extremely sentimental. We were all sitting together one day and Jae began talking about how much she's going to miss Caleb at this young age, wishing she could keep him as young as baby forever. She went on to say she wished she could remember everything about him while he was a baby too, especially the way he smells, at which point, she buried her face into his hair and take deep breath in. She admitted that a baby's cradle cap hair normally doesn't smell very pleasant, but she just loves the smell of Caleb's cradle cap hair . . . along with his milky breath. A mother's love for her child has no equal I suppose.

I on the other hand am not so crazy about his cradle cap, but I will definitely miss having this precious little baby boy around. Just look at these photos. But I can't wait to see the kind of kid he'll grow up to become. Okay, enough sappy emotional whimsy. On with the rest of the photos.


A cute picture of mommy giving Caleb a great big bear hug.



I just love munching on those chubby little cheeks.



"Who's that taking pictures?"



"Oh, it's just mommy. Cheese."



So a good friend of ours gave us this enlarged photo of Caleb and as part of our thank you card to her, we decided to enclose a photo of Caleb beside it. Well, in usual baby fashion, Caleb had trouble looking at the camera for the photo, but surprisingly enough, we still got a lot of cute photos of him looking every which way but the camera. Looking at the ceiling . . .



Looking at daddy . . .


Looking at the floor . . .



Ah, finally . . . looking at the camera. Thank you for the photos Cathy.
