Big Birthday Bash

Double the cake, Double the fun. Chelsea and Colman have just turned one !!

Blooper reel

I have attached some Easter pics. The kids are so cute dressed up in their Sunday best. But getting pictures of the cuteness is sometimes a challenge. Occassionally the challenging moments can be endearing... though that sentiment quickly fades. We endure a lot for the hopes of that shot that captures the sweetness... or we settle for kids that sat still. We are glad for the digital camera era.

Pics before a nap, what were we thinking??

When they start moving, we gotta strap them down to get pictures of the two together...

The winner.

Chelsea gets in step

For turning one, we took pics of the kids in traditional Korean gowns. More to come... Chelsea is officially walking. In honor of her birthday and Mother's day, she learned to walk. She had been taking a few steps on and off for the last few weeks. She would take a couple of steps and lunge toward whomever she was walking toward. By Mom's Day, she was plodding around Carol's parents' house, no lunging. As of today, she is almost exclusively walking, although it is not a very steady gait. Amazing what a couple of days can do.

We think that Colman being able to grab a toy and run, was some motivation for her to walk. She is normally the one that wins in the toy grab contest. But when Colman walks away with the toy, crawling after him was not very effective. Colman is a pretty good walker now. He still stumbles. It is funny watching the momentum get away from him; he can usually still put the breaks on before a face plant ensues. He likes to do laps around the family room, carrying a toy or two.

Now when Chelsea walks and hears music, she stops to dance by bobbing up and down or shaking her little butt. Don't know where she got those moves, but she makes them look good.
