Hats Hats Hats

Beanie is FERBERIZED! Poor poor baby. She is doing well. She went down at her usual time of 8:30 p.m. and cried for about 5 minutes. She woke up a few times but only a few cries before putting herself back to sleep.

Ferberizing is brutal for the parents. I think this is the beginning of the aging process. Each cry brings forth a new wrinkle because it's so painful to hear!

She loves butternut squash! Tonight she had steamed organic plums. She loved the plums even though they were a bit tart.

Little Bee is not sleeping...

So, little bee just went down to sleep at 10 p.m. We have been dragging her around and she's been off her normal schedule so, I'm guessing that's why she's so out of whack!

She had peas and barley and a tiny bit of apple tonight. She's not fond of the tart taste of the apple but she likes the vegetables and sweet potato.

I hope she can get through the night!

Jenn is gone...

It's been a whirlwind of fun with both Emo's doting on little bee. She is happy and tired. Tonight we went to go see a performance at George Mason with traditional Korean instrumentalists. It was an interesting and dynamic performance blending the old and new songs.

Bee stayed with Emo Halmunee and EmoBoo Halahbugee. She was sad and cried at first and then she got happy and played with Yo and EJ.

Unfortunately, her bedtime has been affected so she didn't go to bed until 11 p.m. I hope that she can sleep through the night from exhaustion!

Sleeps just like her mommie!

Bea sleeps just like me with one arm draped over her eyes. It's so amazing to see behavior that is innate and not learned at all. I can't wait to see more from her. Right now her favorite pastime is to blow raspberries (spitting everywhere!) and it's so cute.

She can also almost clap when you say, "Jjak Jak goong Jjak Jak goong." It's hillarious because J says it to her like my mom does.

6 month stats:

Bea's 6 month stats are: 28' long (95th percentile), 17.5 head circumference and 17.5 lbs. She is functioning perfectly except that her head development has not been even so she leans ever so slightly to the right. The doctor says that it's nothing to worry about so, we are stimulating her on her left side to balance out her neck muscles.

Who knew?

Eating Everything and Checking Out the World!

Well, little Bee is eating everything and checking out the world! She really enjoys her new Nuby cup. This cup is great. The drinking spout is made out of silicone. It's like the bite-down water bottles for adults but it's for babies. I have heard that sippy cups are bad for the teeth so this is a great alternative without having liquid go everywhere.

Bee enjoys her baths and holds on with one hand while she splashes around with the other hand.

We are trying to put her to bed earlier but now it seems that she will only go down around 9:30 p.m. and is still waking up around 12 a.m. and then anywhere after that from 2-5 a.m. I hope that this is a phase that she will grow out of soon.

Bee loves her Hammy!!

She still loves all her crinkley toys but she especially loves her WANG Halmeh!!!

Well, she's 6 months now and we're not sleeping. She has a new habit where she is up every 2 hours and all she wants is the boob. She doesn't want to eat so, basically I'm her human pacifier!!! She has 2 bottom teeth so, I think she's done with the teething bit for a while.

So far she's tried: bananas, mixed green vegetables, apples, pears, and peas. She's partial to the sweets and definitely enjoys eating like her parents. Can't wait until she's ready for some real food.
