Joseph's Heaven

We went to a kid's playroom in a mall. You know how much Joseph loves balls! He LOVED playing a lot of balls at the same time. Yes, he is in his heaven :) The wood slide was fun, too (Actually I enjoyed very much!)

Joseph and Fishes (video)

We went to an open market in Busan and Joseph was excited to watch real fishes and chickens! He's now explaining about the different fishes...I think! :)

Joseph in Korea!

Joseph and I (Ami) are visiting Korea for four weeks. He had a good time at a hotel room in Japan (First picture). He even reigned an adult seat beside me and VERY enjoyed his TV while other people were all sleeping! He's getting along very well with his Korean grandparents, too.

Great time with Daddy!

Before heading to Korea, Joseph had a great time with daddy at Mill lake park and the airport! :)

Joseph's "Front Yard"

We just moved to a new house on Bevan Ave and it's basically across the street from Mill Lake Park! He's going to have a lot of fun there!

Joseph Descends Mount Everest!

All by himself, Joseph discovered a new skill. He's very proud of himself!

Hopeless Romantic

Like his daddy, Joseph has found himself an older woman. His friend Boemee

is almost three!
These pictures were taken at Korean New Year. It's Korean custom for children do a traditional bow to their elders to receive cash on that day. Our little money maker netted 31 bucks!

Joseph's Secret Weapon

This kid has longest tongue of a child that I have ever seen. It's also his weapon

for sneak attack. If we aren't on our guard he'll come at us and try to lick our face just to get a reaction!

Very Accomplished!

So many interests - both technological and musical!

Catch Up Pictures

I know I've been a bit negligent recently in posting pictures. Things should improve markedly now that I've finished my thesis defense though. So these are so pictures to update you on what Joseph's been doing the past month! Click to enlarge. More to come!

Where'd it Go?

This is, bar none, Joseph's favourite game right now, dancing to the music and pretending shock when it stops. I'm beginning to wonder if he has a little theatrical blood in his veins. Maybe such things skip a few generations! (This goes on a bit, feel free to stop it in the middle. My high pitched "baby voice" gets a little irritating :)

Joseph's First Snow Day

December 2 was Joseph's first experience of snow. He was pretty excited, constantly pointing out the stuff to us!

Father and Son

So waddaya think? Any resemblance?

Video: Little Beethoven

Our little pianist seems to be taking after mommy! Though he also seems to have daddy's ability to get distracted...

Joseph's First BIrthday

Joseph had a ball for his first birthday! Three or four parties, presents from all sorts of people and the chance to wear a cool costume. In Korean it's called a "hanbok." Every time we put it on him the little narcissist walked over to the mirror to look at himself. I am constantly switching between thinking he looks like a Jewish high priest or one of the three wise men. We also followed a Korean tradition of letting him choose between a pen (intelligence), money (wealth), book, thread (long life), car, and a Bible. Our little genius chose the pen. Hopefully the Bible will come in useful too!
Anyway, it was all we could wish for in a birthday!

Dramatic Joseph

Joseph in one of the most expressive moods! Every time a new person appears, he feels the need to point out how interesting the world is with the constant cry of "Oo, Oo, Oo!"!

Thesis notes? What thesis notes?

Mommy may be done her school work, but daddy is not, and Joseph still likes to mess up his notes

Mommy's Done School, Time for Some Fun!

Okay, okay, we're back from our extended hibernation with more cute Joseph pictures.

Family at McDonalds

Just before Scott and Courtney left for the Middle East we got together at McDonalds.

Real Walking!

Joseph is very proud of himself these days! He's really walking! He can do 10 steps easily and his maximum is 20 before he reverts back to crawling mode. Life going to be hectic soon!
