Jaemin is one!

Okay, so technically, in Korea, he's already 2. A tid bit for anyone who doesn't know, when you're born in Korea you're already 1.  When the new year comes everyone turns the next year, so Jaemin turned 2 then already.  You don't really age on your actual birthday.  Kind of confusing when someone from Korea tells you how old they are because sometimes they change it for Americans and tell us their age by our culture and sometimes they don't.

Our sweet baby boys turned 1 yesterday.  I can't believe that just 6 months ago we had just found out we were going to be parents again and now our baby is 1.  Other than being sick the day before his birthday it was great.  He was in a great mood all day.  He laughed all day and tried to take a couple of steps.

We had Js TOL party in the evening complete with; cake, ice cream, deli meat, chips and bulgogi.  There wasn't much bulgogi left at all.  It was a huge hit.  All 3 grandparents were there, Loa and Js Godparents.  Since we'd had illness in the house we asked some not to come so they wouldn't get sick (or have their kids get sick).  J got plenty of present though.  The room was packed with toys in the end and I don't think he knew what to do with all his toys.  Though he really does love to hammer away on his xylophone.  Apparently, like his sisters, he likes music.

Jaemin selected a spool of thread and 10,000 Won from his TOL table.  This means he will be wealthy and have a long life.  He wore his gorgeous hanbok that his foster mother sent with him.  I loved his birthday too.  It was so fun to sing happy birthday to him all day long!  We had a little problem with the cake, but I'm trying to forget that.  :)

Here are some pictures from the party.



















Thanks, Anita, for the great 1st birthday tshirt!!







And this is the next day.  He also had a great time with his balloons this morning, though he got a big tangled as he crawled with them in hand.
