I'm not even going to try to update on the past 8 months. Annie is 22 months now and doing amazingly! She sleeps all night in her big girl bed and she is talking like crazy. She knows her letters, numbers, animal sounds and has lots of sentences. She loves to play outside and we're looking forward to a fun summer!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL4tzAL888IOpHdCE_hvwN6jPND4YLZAcB2aGPj-oQ29AOvN1mcqXQ8KGVVabm8hcMOQFaddunFhU2Oo8oY-3swaVDdJ4q-imFTZo93beX8xp78O3CR7WXHYq7Gad9SiGGy6GAV4Gz9bY/s1600/easter8.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 289px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL4tzAL888IOpHdCE_hvwN6jPND4YLZAcB2aGPj-oQ29AOvN1mcqXQ8KGVVabm8hcMOQFaddunFhU2Oo8oY-3swaVDdJ4q-imFTZo93beX8xp78O3CR7WXHYq7Gad9SiGGy6GAV4Gz9bY/s400/easter8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474860104700730658" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzHm-TDAnL_S7ySJlIAnNOP8_q8vFjXH59yypTiqw7Tvyt3OtXS6XGArWxBMmGyNPclNPxeO3bOTA-UVxhKXn_1PMnRYMuKRNJp9iSvK3o-UPqS-d9hvSyG5WZBr6Awxa3FvegtqVXTJ0/s1600/anniepark.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 336px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzHm-TDAnL_S7ySJlIAnNOP8_q8vFjXH59yypTiqw7Tvyt3OtXS6XGArWxBMmGyNPclNPxeO3bOTA-UVxhKXn_1PMnRYMuKRNJp9iSvK3o-UPqS-d9hvSyG5WZBr6Awxa3FvegtqVXTJ0/s400/anniepark.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474860100824133346" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAEVKuB880FKXPN9rr4439Xtsteou9IsKGaTx8Cfzl5L_HQCYOlikhrAD_G_7t58hE293VvBWI9DIx6b3DAXNRgpzO_qC5MdcKptN8LbYGzOMv2-vIu8_LqmKrvqNyXocxyK4e12S2neg/s1600/0sweet.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 342px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAEVKuB880FKXPN9rr4439Xtsteou9IsKGaTx8Cfzl5L_HQCYOlikhrAD_G_7t58hE293VvBWI9DIx6b3DAXNRgpzO_qC5MdcKptN8LbYGzOMv2-vIu8_LqmKrvqNyXocxyK4e12S2neg/s400/0sweet.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474860097895985474" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1wxeGQLnxgkPAEtRe6B53rjZ4oBN6r3Fi6HFeJk7uUwXtMKg8QrDhwGFFe9dfWSoaaXwiuMHKdU2kSJE63RzRp7B3J-BrkibfV18Ea42dH9cEkeomUa2LurEzYgveHQpVZqx-6LkNy8/s1600/0univ5.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 329px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1wxeGQLnxgkPAEtRe6B53rjZ4oBN6r3Fi6HFeJk7uUwXtMKg8QrDhwGFFe9dfWSoaaXwiuMHKdU2kSJE63RzRp7B3J-BrkibfV18Ea42dH9cEkeomUa2LurEzYgveHQpVZqx-6LkNy8/s400/0univ5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474860095477212994" border="0" /></a>Korihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04818942408953032889noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949831674946107949.post-71757830488440357272009-08-17T10:17:00.000-07:002009-08-17T13:49:57.250-07:00Beach BabeWe went to Santa Cruz a while ago so I have some photos to share.<br /><br />Annie is having a rough time sleeping lately but is walking, talking and learning so much! Here are her words:<br />ma ma<br />da da<br />buh buh = buddy (Calvin's nick name)<br />nah nah = Nathan<br />ba ba = bottle<br />bay bay = baby (what she calls herself)<br />poo poo<br />nie nie = night night<br />hehwo = hello<br />bye bye<br />mah ma (rhymes with grandma) = grandma<br />up<br />ta da (she raises her arms up and says this after daddy flips her)<br />uh oh<br />dog<br />cat<br />no no (she wags her finger back and forth while saying this)<br />diapah = diaper<br />dat = that (what she says when she points at something she wants or is interested in)<br />bah = bath<br /><br />I may be missing a few. She also mimics us a lot so we get more words but the ones above are words she uses accurately. Right now she is crawling down the hallway, saying "bah bah" asking for a bath!<br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/sc7-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/sc1-3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/sc.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/sc4-2.jpg">Korihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04818942408953032889noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949831674946107949.post-76572539882146452072009-08-05T09:35:00.000-07:002009-08-05T10:07:29.044-07:00We have a walker!Annie took her first steps the week before her 1st birthday. She still crawls most of the time but every day she's walking more and more. Yesterday she took 21 steps in a row including a big turn! <br /><br />She's also talking like crazy. She's up to about 15 or so words.<br /><br />A few weeks ago we went to my Dad's retirement party. It was held at the Compass Rose Gardens in Bodega Bay, the same place Lance and I got married. Here are a few photos from that evening.<br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/0ret6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/0ret13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/0ret1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/0ret12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/0ret11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/0ret10.jpg"><br /><br />Had to share this sweet happy girl at a recent neighbor's birthday party.<br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/el1.jpg"><br /><br />Yesterday we went to the fair.

They are a good TWO inches above her eyebrows now! :( She doesn't even look like the same girl. Thank goodness they'll grow.<br /><br />*Edited to add photos. I wanted it cut so that I wouldn't have to put a hair clip in it 100% of the time. Now I will have to until it grows an inch or so. Should only take a few weeks...<br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/0hair2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/ohair1.jpg">Korihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04818942408953032889noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949831674946107949.post-21018536764100227092009-07-20T15:19:00.000-07:002009-07-20T15:35:38.310-07:001 year checkup & the water table!Sweet Annie had her 1 year check up today and is doing great! When we brought her home at 9 months she was at the 42th percentile for weight and the 81st for height! She's gained 4 pounds and has grown an inch in the last 3 months. So now she is 22.75 pounds and 29.75" which is the 73rd percentile for weight and 65th for height! My sweet little chunky girl. :-)
<br />
<br />Annie got the greatest water table from her Grandma Sue and Grandpa Alan for her birthday. She loves it (as shown below)!

Annie turned one on Saturday. We did a Korean Tol celebration at her party. In Korea turning one is cause a big celebration and Annie's foster mom gave us a beautiful Hanbok for her to wear on her first birthday.
<br />
<br />Part of the celebration includes Annie picking items on a table, each with a meaning to predict her future. She chose the needle and thread and then the money which means she will have a long life and be wealthy! It was a lot of fun.

She says mama, dada, baba, hello & cat! She babbles and understands lots too. When we say "bye-bye" she waves, "yea" she claps, and "bouncy girl" she bounces. Here's a quick video clip clapping.<br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-5ba3812c655c91d7 height=266 width=320 contentId="5ba3812c655c91d7"></OBJECT>Korihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04818942408953032889noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949831674946107949.post-23362633063945527732009-05-24T14:41:00.000-07:002009-05-24T14:49:29.029-07:00Guess what?Yes, you guessed it, more photos of sweet Annie. She's had a pretty yucky stomach bug so I haven't been online much. Even when she is sick she's still such a sweet heart, just a little less smiley.<br /><br />Yesterday we went over to our good friends Brett & Kali's house. The big kids all swam while Annie played poolside.<br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/cc1-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/cc3-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/cc2-1.jpg"><br /><br />Thanks for all the replies to my last post! :-)Korihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04818942408953032889noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949831674946107949.post-7138678182784633832009-05-13T19:40:00.000-07:002009-05-13T19:45:33.741-07:00Annie's first trip to the poolShe LOVED it.

She was great, as always! She spent a lot of time on my lap pounding on my keyboard so I gave her a spare keyboard to pound on in her play yard. The Ergo buckle and keyboard were her favorite toys! She took a nice nap on me and slept soundly while I worked and answered the phone. Looks like I have another happy fire house baby. The loud noises at work should teach her to be a sound sleeper. :-)<br /><br />We met my mom and the boys at Slice of Lice for lunch and she liked my veggie/rice plate. The cauliflower was her fave.<br /><br />She fell asleep on the way home and let me transfer her from the car seat to the crib. Such a good girl.<br /><br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/v2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 521px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/v2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/v4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 505px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/v4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/v3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 388px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/v3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/v7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 407px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/v7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/v5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 424px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/v5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/v6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 533px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/v6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Korihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04818942408953032889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949831674946107949.post-50923094063417041812009-05-06T14:18:00.000-07:002009-05-06T14:25:06.172-07:00CutiesI love to post photos of Annie with huge grins and her eyes closed so I thought I'd share one of her big beautiful eyes today!<br /><br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/t1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 354px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/t1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />How sweet is this photo of Annie & Calvin looking at each other?

Calvin has the flu...thankfully not THE flu. Annie has been under the weather as well.<br /><br />Annie's transition is still going well. I feel like our bond gets stronger every day. :-)<br /><br />I still need to edit and post more photos from the homecoming. The ones of Calvin holding his sister for the first time are going to melt your heart! Here are a couple Lisa took of me holding Annie for the first time and breathing her in. The tears started to come but I was able to hold it together. These both were from Monday, April 6th.<br /><br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/i2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 499px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/i2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/i1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 499px;" src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff175/korifabric/i1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Korihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04818942408953032889noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949831674946107949.post-43515867557336462122009-04-19T19:12:00.001-07:002009-04-19T19:39:26.028-07:00Annie laughing!We are having so much fun finding different ways to make Annie laugh.

I've taken a million photos. I also got my hands on the photos Lisa took in Korea and as soon as I have a chance to resize those I'll post them too.<br /><br />Annie had her first well baby check up on Monday. She handled it pretty well. She's very healthy and at 9 months old is 19 pounds. That puts her right at the 50th percentile. It's also the weight I estimated that she would be when she arrived home since she's followed that growth curve since birth.<br /><br />My poor baby has caught her first cold and is all stuffed up and miserable as of last night. Hope it passes quickly!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUiIUdLBgaN5SeBURaUbs42C-5V5alfGTThGCFSPw_V_um_wLiQh6twThDil8RspBM_Ds9O6BLQqgFV3JhAWV0ukJXB9_FcqGpc39yYfZkIx2ouoZ_byvWoEEQQzLyZGAtrYH6pAOFY6A/s1600-h/f3.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I got motion sickness too - yuck! We arrived at SFO at 4am Korea time (12 noon here) and Immigration took forever. Finally made our way out family. There were at least 12 waiting for us and it was a wonderful moment! <br /><br />We got home about an hour ago and it's now 9am Korea time and still no sleep for me! I'm somewhat delirious. I think I'll wait a couple more hours to sleep so I can get back on schedule. Hopefully Annie will too. Our friends and neighbors surprised us with beautiful signs and balloons out front welcoming Annie home. Daddy is now feeding his girl a bottle. If she falls asleep I'm going to join her. <br /><br />Hoping her adjustment home goes well. Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts.Korihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04818942408953032889noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949831674946107949.post-16027835841906194452009-04-09T04:05:00.001-07:002009-04-09T04:15:24.185-07:00Checking in from the agency guest houseI received Annie today at 4pm. It was a very emotional goodbye with her foster mom...hugging and crying. She asked me to please send her photos of Annie with her brothers and growing up. I assured her that I would.<br /><br />Annie cried for a couple minutes at first and then she shocked me by smiling and giggling! I couldn't believe it! I saw her smile for the first time ever while I was still sobbing from the goodbye. Especially when I got the camera out, she got this huge smile. I got some great photos and video but I can't share it now since I'm no longer on my laptop. They have a computer here that adoptive parents can use which is very thoughtful. So we played on the bed and walked around for about 3 hours before I could tell she was getting sleepy. I tried to lay down with her and soothe her to sleep but she wasn't having any of that. I put her in the Ergo carrier and we walked up and down the stairs and back and forth in the hallways. She cried off and on for about 10 minutes. A few times people came up to look at her and she got really upset. She finally gave up and now she is sound asleep on my chest.<br /><br />I'm heading to bed too since I've been told she still gets up twice a night for bottles. I hope she's not too scared when she wakes up in a strange bed next to her strange American mommy. I may be in for a long night.Korihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04818942408953032889noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949831674946107949.post-69568707584191227102009-04-08T16:42:00.000-07:002009-04-12T23:11:24.867-07:00Short videos from yesterday<OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-fd1c6b7893f7de6c height=266 width=320 contentId="fd1c6b7893f7de6c"></OBJECT><br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-3a0d60bac2c12393 height=266 width=320 contentId="3a0d60bac2c12393"></OBJECT>Korihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04818942408953032889noreply@blogger.com0
