Cute shots

We know, we know.  We've been delinquent with our updates, but somehow Jennie and I both got real busy real fast. We promise to add some new posts soon, but we hope you enjoy these new pictures.

FYI, she now counts to 10 (sometimes with a little help), knows her basic colors, and now excellently makes her demands known in 3+ word sentences.

Good night!

Hiding!

Swiiiinnngg!

Although Zooey's been going on the swings for a while, she reached 

a new level of enjoyment in the past couple of weeks.  She now LOVES it and 

spends about 80% of her time at the playground on the swings, whether

the 'baby' ones or the 'big kid' ones.

 

For some reason, she likes to close her eyes while swinging, I guess to fully 

experience the 'flying' sensation that she now loves.

She will often yell out "fy-ing, fy-ing!" when she's not

yelling "higher! higher!"

Chef Zooey!

Last week, Zooey and I were both a little bored and both craving a little

something....chocolate-y (yes, we BOTH were craving!)

A quick look in the pantry yielded a chocolate cake mix (don't judge!) and so we baked

I was pretty impressed with her focus and dexterity when pouring the mix into the cups!  Of course there was a bit of a mess, but I was expecting much worse...

The finished product:

 (doesn't seem too convinced it's edible...)

yummy!

more bubbles!

 so sweet!

"whatcha looking' at?"

"Hand, hand!"

Lately, Zooey has been wanting to hold hands. In the carseat, going for a walk, going to sleep, 

she is constantly asking for "hand, hand," or as it sounds when she says it, "haen, haen"

 Holding mommy's hand as she falls asleep

Happy new year!

Part of the Korean New Year tradition involves the younger generations getting dressed up

in their 'hanboks' and bowing to their elders, wishing a happy new year in exchange

for a little monetary gift. 

Here she is bowing to her great-grandmother:

She quickly developed a taste for money, dropping down to bow quickly and demanding "mu-neee"

She wanted more...

Dad says 'What the heck, just take the whole wallet!'

The rest of the day, she walked around clutching her money, taking it out of the envelope

and putting it back in over and over again.  When she started putting it in her mouth, I gave her a little Hello Kitty tin to put her money in.  

She put it under her pillow with a favorite book and Winnie the Pooh doll, rearranging it several times before finally falling asleep.
