100th Day, March 2, 2008

:: Baek-il is the baby's 100th day anniversary. The family has a small celebration for the baby's health and the mother's recovery from delivery. On that day, people make Korean rice cakes called Baek-seol-gi or Su-su-pat-deok, and pass them around to neighbors, believing that sharing the cakes with 100 people will lead to the baby's healthy growth. Those who receive the rice cake return the plates with threads, rice, or money on them. Threads represent a wish for a long healthy life, and rice and money mean a wish for wealth for the baby.

We did not get to deliver 100 rice cakes, but Kai did dress up in a Kimono, use his first pair of chopsticks and sample all the treats from Hina Matsuri. He also got some beautiful plum tree blossoms and presents from his daddy! Just another reason to celebrate, ne?

3 Months Old

Kai weighs in at 14.5 lbs and is 61 cm long. Our little baby is growing too fast! As you can see, he has great control of his head and neck already and is extremely interested in his new toy! Kai's hands are in his mouth all day as well as anything else we put in his hands! Kai smiles all the time as seems to be a social butterfly. Kai makes friends with everyone sitting next to him on the train, everyone on the elevators and everyone at the stores. Too cute!
