First Trip to Hotlanta

Had the privilege of staying with an aunt and uncle who woke up at 5:30 and played with a wide awake baby. A special kind of love. 

Noah's first time to meet LeAllison, Andrew, Ashley, & Josh. Thanks to aunt LeAllison for new fall clothes. We'll be wearing them as soon as it gets a little cooler!

Beautiful weather and fantastic lunch at Leon's, and Noah's first time in a high chair! He didn't eat anything in it and didn't sit in it for long, but a good first. 

We went Korean grocery shopping and then took Valerie to an Atlanta Silverbacks game

Silverbacks lost to Ottawa Fury, but Noah mostly tried to sleep through it all

Then we came back to 고모's house and enjoyed church together Sunday before coming home after lunch. Big weekend but a lot of fun. Hope we can do it again.

Catch Up: August part 2

His first photo shoot in time for turning 4 mos

Sadly, at this time my great-uncle Bill Seefeld died. I don't have any pics from the funeral (aunt Val does). But it was a sweet time of family and remembering a great man who died far too soon. 

We went to PCB with Shin's sisters

He DID spend time in the pool and the ocean in August and enjoy it, but looks like those pics are on Shin & Val's phones. 

He started rolling over and propping up a lot more. I started school full-time and work part-time. So thankful for my AUM scholarships. 

This means I'm off on Fridays and we can go play with friends!

Lastly, I used a chainsaw over Labor Day weekend and loved it. 

When dad visited at the end of July they sawed off some big branches. We finally got 2/3 cleaned up a month later... Still working on the last big one.

Exersaucer

At this point Noah loves 2 things: sucking his hands/things in his hands and playing in his exersaucer.

It's best when he can do both. 

Husband

We celebrated Shin's bday on Labor Day. I'm SO thankful for my husband. He takes care of us, fixes or replaces things when they need it (something I hate doing), loves The Lord, and even cleans and grocery shops when needed. He does a lot of big and small things to make my life much easier and to support. my goals. 

Milestones

Noah held his bottle and fed himself for the first time today! Sad and proud!

Also sat in a chair for the first time yesterday

Yes. He's still in the same drool-soaked clothing.
