Annie got her first haircut.

I asked the woman to trim her bangs to her eyebrows so they weren't hanging in her eyes anymore. They are a good TWO inches above her eyebrows now! :( She doesn't even look like the same girl. Thank goodness they'll grow.

*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...

1 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. :-)

Annie got the greatest water table from her Grandma Sue and Grandpa Alan for her birthday. She loves it (as shown below)!

Annie is one!

I can't believe it. 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.

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.

The River

The heat wave is over and it was a beautiful 75 degrees. We had lots of fun with friends on the Russian River.

Daddy Time

Today Annie and I went on an 8 hour shopping trip down to San Jose. We had a wonderful time at a Korean Market, a great lunch with Grandma and Grandpa and got her some adorable shoes at Nordstrom Rack. She did great on the drive and it wasn't until the last 30 minutes that I had to sing her the same song over and over so that she wouldn't cry.

When we got home she was so happy to see Daddy and they had some snuggle time on the hammock.







Here are the goodies we got at the market.



Can you believe Annie is almost one? Time is flying!

Learning so fast!

Annie has 5 words and knows how to use them. 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.
