Blessing with Holy Water

Seong Tae and I were playing upstairs when he decided to get his bottle of Holy Water from his Baptismal font. He blessed his dresser, his books, his bed, the floor of his room, my head, the floor of the upstairs hallway, Autumn's head, the floor of the upstairs bathroom, and himself. I told Mommy about it and she and I went upstairs to check things out and to find the bottle of Holy Water.

Mommy had to bring Seong Tae upstairs to find the bottle. She took it away from him as now it has a damaged cap.

When Mommy asked him why he needed to get it from the top shelf of his closet, Seong Tae responded so that Autumn could be blessed. I think he is done blessing things right now.

Going to the Museum

We went to the museum today to see the trains. They had lots of trains set up for us to watch go round and round the tracks. We saw passenger trains and freight trains. We saw Mr. and Mrs. Claus on the pumper car and the passenger train that caught up with it pushing them around the track for a little bit.

We also walked around the museum and we played with the magnets and played with a kitchen set they had there.

After all of that we saw the Korean show that was there. After the dance portion of it, Mommy asked Ryan if he could dance like that. Ryan told her "No Mommy" (like what Mom are you kidding me??).

And to top the day off we got to spend it with our friends.

Tonight it's snow snow snow snow snow...

Santa unfortunately can't make it down from the North Pole tomorrow to meet us so hopefully this week we can meet Santa.

Helping Mommy Feed Bella

Today I got to help Mommy feed Bella her Banana Cereal (cereal mixed with banana without any formula for those of you who don't know). She loved it. I liked feeding her as well. She ate pretty well today for Mommy and I and then again for Mommy later...2 tablespoons worth of cereal mixed directly with 2.5 oz of banana.

Unfortunately Bella is miserable on her medicine. She cries and wants to be held and then cries some more. Mommy says that things will be getting better...I hope so since I need my sleep too.

I'm the little Mommy!!!

Hi everyone, Katie here...

I just had to tell you all that I've been the little Mommy at my home. I've been helping Mommy and Daddy out with getting things for Tae Hee. I have been trying to feed Tae Hee her bottle but she cries whenever I touch it. Only our Mommy can touch the bottle. I have been able to give her toys and play with her. At times it's been rough having somebody cry in my room late at night when I'm trying to sleep but I love her very much. What is fun for the two of us is having "parties" in our room.

I'm a Big Girl Now....

Last weekend, Mommy and Daddy got a mattress delivered that they had ordered for me. On Monday night , I had Mommy and Daddy set up the twin bed for me. I told Daddy "Me sleep big bed" so much that they had to set it up. It was Mommy's old bed when she was growing up. It is the last thing in the set that she had saved for when she had a little girl. I got down out of the bed several times since "I awake" early in the evening after Mommy and Daddy put me to bed.

Around 10:30, Daddy came into my room to find me sleeping on the floor in front of my door. Daddy scooped me up and placed me into my bed. He gave me hugs and kisses and tucked me right back in bed.

I'm slowly getting used to this bed thing. However, last night I told Mommy that my baby sister was sleeping in Ryan's room and not in mine. Ryan agreed and added that she was going to sleep in his bed.

Now I'm working on drinking from a big girl cup this week as well. I refused to drink out of a sippy cup this morning and have started on the big girl cup thing all day today. I still will drink out of a sippy cup but ONLY when we are traveling around.

Now all I need to do is figure out this potty training thing and I'm all set.

I'm a Big Sister Now...

Ryan got on here before me already said the big news that has been buzzing our family--we're getting a baby sister. She is so cute. We can already say her Korean name.

Here's a picture of her

My little sister at 3 months old


Mommy, Daddy, Ryan and I will be picking out a blankie for her just like Mommy, Daddy, and Ryan did for me before I came.

Well Ryan and I are very tired out after being up so late last night so we're heading to bed for our rest time.
