Birthday party was fun! Baby decided to stay up and play with everyone... until 9:00pm. (She should have been asleep at 6:00pm. She woke up from her last nap at 2:00pm.) Baby was shy around the adults, but she tried very hard to get the kids to play with her.

There is a Korean tradition of 'predicting' what Baby will do with her life based on her choice of three items: money, a notebook and pencil, or a skein of thread. (I don't know what it's actually called.) Whichever the Baby picks is supposed to determine her future. Money means wealth, the notebook and pencil means education, and the thread means a long life. (I'm not sure why these things should be mutually exclusive.) First, Baby went right for the notebook and pencil. My cousin commented, 'Just like you. Oh well.' (Thanks...?) Next, she grabbed the money--a $100 bill in each hand. Then, she dropped a bill and picked up the pencil again. I really don't think her choices mean anything, but apparently she will be a wealthy academic. I have no problem with that!

Pictures from yesterday will come soon. My parents have the pictures on their camera.

Today, Baby helped me do laundry!








And just for fun, this is Baby giggling at Husband.
