Brianna's Happy Days

Brianna reached and celebrated her 100th day on Sept. 30, 2009!

(The 100th day is a significant day in Korean Culture and we celebrate the child's longevity to this point with friends and family.)

We had friends over for a dinner and shared the joy of her "Baek il" (the "100th day") that day. She slept the longest hours that night - 7 hours!!! Couldn't believe how well her mom got to sleep in a long time. Praise God for that sweet sleep~ :)

Two weeks prior to that, Brianna has turned herself over from her tummy to her back (Sept. 17th). It was just absolute joy to watch her! Amazing work of God... How this little tiny arms and legs can work together to do things...

 

Brianna's First Ocean Experience

Brianna was 11 weeks and 4 days old when she flew to Oahu and then to Big Island. She mostly slept and ate and repeated that all 5+ hours. She loves being out door, period! She did well in Hawi, Big Island. We went to the beaches and a few other tourist places in 6 days of our stay. Then, she got to hang out at Daryl and my favorite place in all the islands! 

It was really fun introducing Pacific ocean to her. She slept half the time we were by the ocean, but she did get to dip in and swam (wet herself pretending to swim with her daddy's help). She did well.

Thank God, we made it back home safely~

Wanna be a 2 months old baby?

Have you ever wonder what's like to be a 10 weeks old baby girl?

"Life is a beach!"  This logan is definitely for this one.  Here's why.

You cry when you want to eat and the food will be served to your mouth.  When you are done with the meal, you just spit out what you have in your mouth.  You don't get scolding; you don't make anyone mad.  Just a friendly smile and acceptance.  Everyone says "how cute" even if you didn't bath for a while, dirty, or have a messy hair due.  

If you don't feel good, just cry; someone will run to attend to your needs.  Everyone kisses you and adores you no matter what.  You don't have to be all pretty or clean to be kissed.  Some even kiss your feet that has been in the dirty poo diaper in which your dad changed for you.  Mom and Dad clean you often; you don't have to make trips to the bathroom because you've got a personal Cleaner who is on 24/7 to change and clean your bottom.

When you are bored, just cry.  When you are sleepy, just fall a sleep.  Life is beach, indeed.  No one is cross with you for doing anything wrong.  Any gestures, faces you make is a bonus for those who watch you.  Whatever you do entertains them. They love it and they just encourage you to do more of what you are doing.  Oh, get this.  When you fart or make a big #2 sound, they are not upset with you for the unpleasant sound or smell.  They come right away and take care of your business.

Brianna smiles right after she makes a big poo noise.  The smell will fill the room, but she sees her mom smiling back and picks her up and kisses her.  "Good job," she would say to Brianna.  

So, this is the life of a 10 weeks old baby.  Life is good!
