Ouch!
The first major fall was bound to happen now that Noah is walking... it was quite traumatic for both of us. He fell and cut his bottom lip! It seemed like the bleeding wouldn't stop, but it did. Will there be another fall???

Bop bop song
We were driving to Gymboree and Noah started to sing! At first we weren't sure what he was doing but he kept the same rhythm and we figured it was a song he wanted to share with world. American Idol here we come!!! Would you vote for him???

Xmas 07
It is so nice to spend time with the family over the holidays. Noah received many presents and had a nice time playing with Kaitlyn (when she wasn't trying to bite him). Uncle Bill gave Noah his first basketball hoop and Aunt Michelle bought him his first desk. I know, I know, spoiled already. I wonder what Noah will like more???

Top Chefs
Post by Jawsh
Kaitlyn received a plethora of presents this Christmas, but by far the coolest one was the kid-size kitchen replete with realistic looking appliances, sound effects, and a variety of fun-size plastic food. Noah went over to play Iron Chef in Kaitlyn's fully equipped kitchen stadium, and helped prepare spaghetti with meatballs. Kaitlyn then tried to feed Noah a piece of bacon, but he wasn't havin' it. He's kosher.

Photo shoot
Noah was cast for his first modeling job for Innovative Baby. He was modeling designer baby clothes along with a few other children. Noah did well considering that he missed his afternoon nap due to the call time. Here he is standing next to Aidan... both sporting the summer line. I wonder how the pictures turned out???

Happy Chanukah!
Our menorah plays music and of course Noah enjoyed dancing along to the tune. It's hard to believe that last year he was only a few weeks old and now he is a big boy! Every night the candles were lit and every night Noah tried to touch them. I wonder when he'll be old enough to light a candle with us???

First steps
Noah recently took his first steps at my parents home. We were in the family room and he just started to walk towards my dad. It was amazing... his first steps and everyone got to watch his little feet move. Now that he can walk he tries to keep up with his cousin Kaitlyn, who is too fast for her own good. Wonder when Noah will be able to catch her???

November 25, 2007
After a fun filled evening at Yongsusan for Noah's Tol we weren't sure if he was up to going out for his first birthday. But after he chose the paint brush at the toljabee (not once, but twice) we knew that he had to see his first Barry McGee art show at Redcat in downtown LA. Uncle Zach joined us and we had a nice time viewing his creative art work. Will Noah's art be influenced by McGee's work???

The best gift
I think one of the best gifts that Noah can have is a cousin his own age to play with. Kaitlyn is two months older and she is such a joy to have around him (although Noah likes to have his space). After we changed Noah out of his hanbok, he was dressed in his gold trimmed Adidas outfit and Kaitlyn was dressed in her pink trimmed one. At the end of night, she gave him a Happy Birthday kiss... isn't that sweet???
TOL
Noah's first birthday was such a wonderful celebration. We feel so blessed that we were able to share this time with so many people who adore Noah. The room was filled with golden balloons, Korean rice cakes, fruit, and of course items for Noah to grab during the toljabee. There was a book (scholar), stack of money (fortune), string (long life), stethoscope (doctor), and paintbrush (artist). I wanted Noah to grab the money and Grandpa Barry even taped a small toy to the stethoscope in hopes that Noah would choose that, however, Noah made it clear what he wanted: the paint brush. Needless to say, Jawsh was very proud. Although there were many highlights throughout the evening, we will never forget how he danced on a chair on cue in front of everyone... he is very special indeed. Wouldn't you agree???

Gobble, gobble
We are so lucky this year to be celebrating Thanksgiving twice. Julia, Mary, Seth, and Zach arrived Friday morning and we had Thanksgiving #2 at Bubbe's home. The twins found new ways to make Noah laugh and enjoyed spending time with him. It was great to see everyone together this special night around a home cooked meal (I'm sure Zach enjoyed that the most). What will Chanukah bring???

Gobble
Noah's first Thanksgiving at the Min house was full of family, food, and fun. Noah and Kaitlyn were the center of attention and they played the piano very well together. It's hard to imagine that this time last year, Noah was in my belly and just about ready to come out! My mom and sister cooked all morning from Barefoot and Martha recipes, which turned out delicious. What will we be having for Christmas???

65 and feeling fine
We celebrated my dad's 65th birthday! I can't believe he is 65 because he definitely does not look that age. I think eating all that kimchi keeps him looking young. Noah and Kaitlyn were there to help celebrate... Noah did a little dance for my dad and Kaitlyn gave plenty of kisses. What will they do for him next year???

8 years
It has been eight years since Jawsh took me out on our first date in San Diego. Jawsh washed his car, brought me a cd by Lauryn Hill, and looked in my refrigerator before we headed out for the evening. We ate in Hillcrest at a 50's joint called Corvettes and then proceeded downtown to watch Cafe Tacuba perform. We enjoyed eachother's company so much that we went out the next night to see American Beauty. In honor of that date, we took Noah to Cafe 50's by our home and enjoyed a chocolate malt. Who knew it would lead to this???

GGA and GGT
We had a wonderful time with GGA and GGT at Bubbe's house. Of course, Noah was the center of attention. GGA sang old classics to Noah (like Stardust) and GGT enjoyed watching him crawl up and down the stairs. By the time Noah sees them next, he'll be on his way to taking his first steps and possibly singing Stardust right back to them. When will we see them again???

Sneak peek
Noah's first birthday is approaching quickly and Halmoni has been helping us get ready for the big day. Here is a sneak peek of what Noah will be dressed in... a beautiful silk hanbok. The hanbok has many layers so the pink will not show (dad was worried about that). Wonder what he'll choose at the toljabee???

Moo!
My parents enjoy singing a Korean nursery song called, Songe-Ah-Gee (translated to Spotted Calf) so we thought it would be appropriate for Noah's first costume to be just that. We took him to a pumpkin patch in Santa Monica and he loved touching the pumpkins. At one point, he lifted himself up and then let go of the pumpkins, standing up, unassisted, for a few seconds! His first steps are just around the corner... doesn't time just fly???

Reading machine
Jawsh loves to read and I think that Noah is following in his father's footsteps. He really loves his Eric Carle collection (thanks Lise) and sometimes we catch him "reading" by himself. Here is a great shot of Jawsh reading a goodnight book to Noah. I wonder what type of literature Noah will prefer???

Kicks
Noah got his first pair of shoes... black Converse for babies. What a production! His little feet were measured (size 4.5) and he even received a balloon (gotta love Nordstroms). The Converse are perfect for his little feet and the soft soles make it feel more like socks. Jawsh really wanted the Vans, but for now Noah's feet will display the classic star emblem. When will Noah take his first steps???

Chusok
Chusok is a Korean "Harvest Moon" festival. This day is kind of considered like Thanksgiving in Korea. The celebration starts with a family get-together at which rice cakes made of rice, beans, sesame seeds, and chestnuts are served. Although there are many components to this special day (like visiting ancestoral graves, wearing hanboks, and dancing) we put a different spin on it and celebrated Cindi's birthday. Wonder what she wished for???

Happy Rosh Hashanah
This year we were very fortunate to spend the high holidays with the Rubin clan in Reno. We had a nice time at the services where Noah slept through the blowing of the shofar! Back at home, Jawsh and I enjoyed the yummy brisket and matzo ball soup while Noah had a great time being the center of attention! When will we see everyone again???

Kaitlyn's Tol
We celebrated Kaitlyn's first birthday with family and friends. Jawsh made an incredible slideshow that reflected upon Kaitlyn's first year of life, games were played, and the food was enjoyed by all. A highlight of the evening was the Toljabee. Laid out in front of Kaitlyn was a golf club, pencil, thread, and money. It's said that the child's future is predicted according to what they grab (the first and second items are considered the most important). Kaitlyn grabbed the thread (signifying long life) and the pencil (future successful scholar). What will Noah pick when it's his turn???

Mozart
When Noah was in the womb, I played a classical cd in the car when I would drive to and from work. When Noah has his moments of fussiness we play the classical music cd and we have noticed that he calms down. With tears in his eyes, he cocks his head, and listens. So we were not surprised to see him take a liking to the piano. Will he be the next Mozart???

The worm
Noah is in the beginning stages of crawling. At first he was doing the worm to get to here and there. It slowly shifted to a caterpillar crawl and now he is able to raise up on his arms a bit more. I'm hoping that I will be able to witness his first crawl before I have to go back to work. What are the chances that I will get to see this???

Kaitlyn news
Kaityn will be one soon and everytime I see her she is doing something new. She started crawling weeks ago, saying appa and oma (dad and mom), and she even points to the birds in the sky. One thing that hasn't changed is her pterodactyl scream and her dog growl (yes, this petite little baby really makes these sounds). What will she do next???

2
We went back to the exact spot where we were married (7-24-05). Yes, it's been two years! We enjoyed all the good things that we had at the wedding and of course, Jawsh also had to have a Patron margarita. Last year I wrote, "When we celebrate our second year anniversary, we'll have another person joining us at dinner... anyone able to babysit???" but we decided to take Noah with us and we were glad we did. He was wonderful the whole night (he could not keep his eyes off the beach long enough to take a picture). Will he join us again next year???

Fourth
It's amazing to think back to last July 4th... Michelle and I were at the Hollywood Bowl, pregnant, pushing eachother up the hill to get to our seats. Now we're almost back to pre-pregnancy bod, making sure Kaitlyn and Noah don't push eachother! It was such a wonderful experience to be pregnant at the same time. What are the chances of that happening again???

Pool party
Kaitlyn has a little pool in her backyard and Noah was invited over to swim, well actually, to take a dip. When Noah got in the pool, Kaitlyn splashed water on his face and took all of the toys he played with. Despite that he had a good time, but Kaitlyn had a better time. When will they learn how to swim???

ADO(RED)
Noah and Kaitlyn were sporting their RED shirts so I tried to do a photo shoot of them. I thought I could send this to GAP and the babies would be discovered, make a million dollars, and have their own line of toys or something... then reality struck. Kaitlyn was too busy showing off her crawling moves (yes, she's now crawling) and Noah was too busy trying to avoid her (yes, he's learning how to push her away). So for now the dreams of being discovered are on hold, but in the meantime Noah is still DELIVE(RED) and Kaitlyn is still DIAPE(RED). How cute is that???

Best babysitters
We were so fortunate to spend time with the Reno Rubins! What fun it was to have them in town. While we were busy playing Rummy Q, stuffing our faces with ice cream, and watching Talledega Nights, Noah managed to get some play time with his twin cousins, Mary and Seth. They were so great with him... they changed his diapers, built amazing toy towers, and even gave him a bath. They are going to be great babysitters when they go back home. Can we say... Babysitters Club???

Oy vey!
Noah's wardrobe expanded with an addition of two shirts. He received a bright green one from Uncle Zach that says, "Someone who loves me very much went to Israel and got me this tshirt" and the other one is the one you see before you. "Oy vey" is a Yiddish expression translated as "woe is me." Everyone got a kick out of both shirts... which do you prefer???

The Original Uncle Bill
Tonight Noah got to meet the original Uncle Bill and my Aunt Suki. Uncle Bill exposed us to all 31 flavors of ice cream and called us every Christmas to ask us what we wanted. My brother was named after him and now Noah has an Uncle Bill who will carry on the tradition. What will Noah ask for first???

WNBA or Art?
Kaitlyn is going to play sports whether she likes it or not... Billy will make sure she can hoop it up like Sheryl Swoops and swing a golf club like Michelle Wie. Here is Kaitlyn in training: palming a ball. Sure it's not a basketball but she has to start somewhere. Uncle Jawsh will balance the athletics by teaching her art. Which will she like more???
