10 Months

My personality is shining through this month!  I recognize more things and am able to do so much more!  Here are some things I learned about myself this month:

- I can pat my tummy with both of my hands.
- I back up when I am unsure of someone or something.
- I can roll and throw a ball.
- I can free up my hands by placing whatever is in my hands into my mouth.  I like to clap them while I do this!
- When Mommy or Daddy chase me, I run away!
- I close doors and can open them if they are open a crack.
- I can walk and hold things at the same time.  Walking around while drinking my bottle is fun!
- I can knock on the door(more like slap it).  I understand what knock means!
- I like to put my fingers in holes.  I also like to take the key and put it in holes.  I have a slight key obsession.
- I pretend to brush my hair or talk on the phone.  A lot of things look like brushes or phones!
- I tried coloring with crayons but am not that great at it yet!
- I love when Mommy sings the chicken dance and does it with me!
- I can squat on the floor.
- I can take things out of a container and put them back in(socks are my particular favorite at this point).
- While sitting, I can rock back and forth.  Mostly I like to do this to music!
- I understand the word shake and shake whatever is in my hands(especially noisy things).
- Everything circular is a button that looks like it needs pushing!
- I like to say dat dee dee dat, za, sa, de
- When I want someone to pick me up, I go in between their legs and hug them.
- When someone has glasses, I like to take them off and try to put them on myself!
- I wave hi to many people who walk by.
- I can stop myself in the middle of walking.
- If I drop something, I look under things to find them.
- I understand the word share in Korean.  My first Korean word that I understand.  Joo say yo!  I like to share whatever toys or food I have.  I like to feed people!
- I can get up from the ground without reaching up and holding onto something.  I can get up from a squatting position to standing.
- I can also go from standing to sitting.
- I like to pull hair, especially long hair!
- I can open and close some containers.  I like to dump whatever is in them.
- I like to throw things.  Especially when I am done eating something or drinking something!
- I like to pull apart magnets that are stuck together.
- I know who Dada is.  My first word!
- When Mommy or Dada build something, I like to knock it down.
- Even though I like to walk on my own, I still like fingers and furniture to help me cruise around.

Some new foods that I have tried include:
- red peppers(not my fav)
- grilled cheese or melted cheese on bread(awesome!)
- cheerios(so fantastic!)
- edamame(what asian doesn't like soy?)
- nectarine
- tortilla
- asparagus(it's green so its great)
- brussel sprouts(I can take it or leave it)
- anything green I pick out first!

There were several big events  this month, including my very first camping trip.  It was so much fun!  Before going up to the campsite, we broke up the trip by staying over at my cousins' house.  My first sleepover with them!  My parents' friends Jane, Chris, Liz, Marc, Milo, Trisha, Youn, Justin, Joanne and Marc's sister went camping with us.  Jane told us that she is having a friend soon for me to play with!   Some people brought their dogs and I just loved them.  They let me pet them and pull on their tails.  They did bark a lot but it didn't bother me.  Everyone would tell them to shush and I learned how to shush also!  We had a campsite by the lake which is where we hung out the most.  Dada taught me how to throw rocks in the water which made me laugh so hard!  I didn't sleep that great at night because it was so cold and I wasn't used to sleeping outside.  But all in all I had a fantastic time being in the outdoors!  

It was my Mama's first mother's day.  I made it special my getting her some bling...diamond earrings!  I also helped Dada make her a card.  A picture of myself with my refridgerator magnets spelling out "I luv mom".  She loved it all!  I like to make her happy!  We went to the botanical gardens in the Bronx.  The flowers were lovely and it ended up being nice day!  We also hung out at my Vo's house to celebrate Mother's day!
