My First Hiking Trip!

I am now almost 20lbs and going on 5 months old now! I also roll over all over the place so my parents have to watch me all the time. I can reach out and grasp for things but am still practicing my coordination in grabbing things directly. I'm developing more of a personality but still a happy go lucky little boy. My two bottom teeth continue to progress but have yet to show their full glory.

Here I am sleeping. I am always ending up in weird positions throughout my slumber -- from my tummy, to my back, to my side to being buried in any corner of my crib...

This past weekend, I went on my first hiking trip with my grandparents. We climbed a mountain top to a lake and picked blueberries and huckleberries! Here we are eating some food before the trek up. Grandpa Kwon teases me with a hard boiled egg -- I almost had the egg too...

Here I am with Grandpa Kwon and also with Grandma Kwon!

Here's Grandma Kwon picking huckleberries...you see them???

Daddy carried me the whole way up and down -- for about 5 hours straight! Now he knows what mommy felt like carrying me for 9 months!

This is a close up of the huckleberries. They are round and black. While we were about 0.5 miles up, a HUGE thunderstorm hit and we got poured on. Good thing daddy had a $1 poncho from Peru he bought. It came in really handy!!

Here we are at the historical center back at the base of the mountain. We took a break until the rain stopped and then we headed back up. We met a baby bear along the way and I was brave...

Look at this blueberry tree! Do you see how many blueberries there??? They are different from huckleberries.

A close up of the blueberry tree. They are lighter in color than the huckleberry. Here's a picture of Daddy and I up by the lake near the top of the mountain. It was really serene and we got to clean our lungs of all the city air..

Hope you all had a nice weekend!
