It's been a while

Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since I've updated as I've been a very busy baby. This past Friday I went to a birthday party for my parent's friend, Gerry. Mom carried me in her sling and I slept for most of the party until around 10PM when I awoke and could not stop staring at everyone at the party! Then on Saturday I went to see Grandma and Grandpa Kwon along with the great grandparents and my mom's Aunt and Uncle Im at a Korean restaurant in Flushing. On Sunday after mass, I went to Aunt Emily and Uncle Kevin's place for a brunch. There I met mom's friends including Jen Shin, Jen Park, Sarah Keh, Sarah Kim and Chris Paugh, Alison and Shannon (she came all the way from Boston!). We had a great time and I was such a good boy entertaining everyone while they held me.

Mom went to her ob post partum visit yesterday and everything looks good. I finally got to thank Dr. Gerlach for delivering me into the world. She commented on how cute I was! Mom was given the okay to exercise so its time for her to hit the gym. She has 20lbs to lose!!

Here are some pictures of what I've been up to since that's all you really care about anyway! I'm definitely getting bigger as I'm fitting into some 3-6 months clothing and my diapers are definitely tight. I think I'm going to be wearing the size up soon! :)

I've been doing a lot of smiling and talking, especially when mom and dad read me books.

I'm very content here...and the next face, I'm not sure what I'm doing but mom gets a kick out of it whenever she sees it..

The following four pictures are a series that makes my mom crack up. I've obviously shopped and am hanging the shopping bag on my arm. Mom says its good practice for when I get a girlfriend and I have to hold her bags. You see, I'm slowly losing my center of gravity in the next picture ... and yes, that's my mom foot in the right bottom corner!

Definitely lost my center of gravity now....and look where I ended up!? And of course, mom thinks it's hilarious and does not pick me up but instead takes pictures.

Here I am in my outfit from Grandma Kim. Daddy thinks I look like a priest here and mom calls my outfit my shirtdress. Dad does not like references to dresses when I'm in them so mom had to get me out of it quickly thereafter...

This past Monday, I finally got my passport application in. Mom and dad tried to take my passport photos themselves, however, they eventually had to get it done at a photo lab as they couldn't get my face to look head on with both ears visible. For your enjoyment, you can see some of the samples that dad took here.

And these were mom's samples. I think mom's came out better although my background is a bit ghetto as she used 4 pieces of paper to make the background white .. hee hee.

Then of course, my mom decided that I should take a Dumbo picture. The picture next to it is me modeling my new newsboy hat that I'm still too small for.

Its turned a bit cold in New York so I haven't been able to go out for walks too much with mom the past few days. However, we finally went out today for some fresh air and I loved it.

Time to go eat now!

Love,
Matthew
