Goodnight Moon

This week we discovered that the boys love to read! Their favorite book is Goodnight Moon. They'll sit quietly and look at the illustrations as you read to them. It even calms them down when they're fussy! They're so good at paying attention!

Set for life

The boys are 100 days old today! Halmoni says a baby's 100th day is a milestone in Korea since infant mortality rates were traditionally very high. If a baby lived to see his 100th day, that meant he was set for life. Thank God it looks like our boys are good to go!

ROFL

Today (at 14 weeks old) Caleb rolled over for the first time! He was playing on his back in his Baby Einstein gym when I left the room for a minute, only to return to find him on his tummy!

Laughing Joshua

Quickly following his big brother's footsteps, today Joshua laughed for the first time, belting out several deep chuckles while his mommy changed him after he projectile-vomited 3 times in a row... what a good sport!

Giggling Caleb

Today Caleb laughed for the first time! It's not surprising it happened while his daddy was changing his diaper... the boys love getting clean!

Hey brother

Today while the boys were lying on the floor next to each other, Caleb looked Joshua in the eye and smiled at him several times. It was so sweet! Joshua didn't have the courtesy to smile back... we're still working on teaching him some manners!

Three month birthday

Happy 3-month birthday, boys! The boys have grown so much in 3 months. They can now hold up their heads really well and can play in their Jumperoo. Speaking of their heads, they are starting to go bald! Joshua seems especially intent to mimick his daddy's hairstyle. We're curious to see what colors their hair will be when it grows back! Both boys still have blue eyes, and judging by the brightness of the blue, we doubt they'll turn brown, somewhat to Halmoni's dismay ;)

The boys have been sleeping 7-8 hours through the night several times a week. They are not too fond of daytime naps, however, and sometimes a walk in the stroller is the only way to get peace and quiet. We even got an umbrella stroller for wheeling them around inside the house!

Their personalities are changing constantly. We suspect they secretly conspire to take turns being fussy or sweet, just to keep us on our toes! Their communication is developing, too. Joshua will follow you around the room with pleading eyes and stick out his lower lip when he wants to be picked up. Caleb will smack his lips and poke out his tongue when he is hungry. Both boys are "talking" a lot, especially Caleb. Several times we could have sworn he said "OK" when it actually made sense!

Rockers and rollers

Today (at 13 weeks old) Joshua rolled over for the first time while Halmoni was changing him! He rolled from his back to his tummy. We also discovered today that both boys love it when their daddy plays guitar and sings to them! They kick and wave their arms like they're dancing!

New home

The boys looked each other in the eye for the first time today... at least it was the first time that we've noticed! Another big piece of news is that we signed the lease for our new house today! It's a cozy little house with a nice big yard for the boys to play in, and it's just around the corner from the boys' grandparents! We are very thankful that we found a place to rent so close by!

Graduation day

Tonight (at almost 12 weeks old) the boys graduated to their own cribs! They've grown as long as the width of a crib, and considering how they'd bop each other and wake each other up, we figured it was time for them to each have their own sleeping quarters. In other news, after soiling an estimated 1000+ size 1-2 diapers, the boys moved up to size 3 Pampers today. We also officially moved out of our apartment and have completely taken over Grandpa and Halmoni's house.
