after hitting the one year mark, he has definitely changed...still a great happy boy, but always on the move and more difficult to satisfy. he doesn't eat just anything we put in his mouth anymore, he has learned to spit out anything that does not satisfy his taste buds! he screams when you take something away from him and nope, you can't just put something else in his hand to replace the object anymore...he knows what he wants! though it's harder on us, it is also more rewarding...seeing his character and seeing how much he learns. he knows so many things now and can do all these cute things. caleb now has 4 teeth and doesn't walk yet. he is a pro at crawling though and can walk when holding on to things. he has taken 2 steps, but he is a cautious little one. his one year mark was a blessed milestone.
the other milestone is...our family is making a move. we are moving to washington in mid-january. i never thought i'd leave this place of comfort, familiarity, and history. however, we think it is best for our family right now to experience change and to get out of our comfort zone. jun has a great opportunity up in washington and it will allow me to stay at home with caleb. we'll take it a day at a time. if i don't like being a stay at home mom after 6 months or so, i'll go back to work. we'll see...but we feel ok about this time of change. of course we will miss our close family and friends here, but i think we'll be back often :) i'm aiming for twice a year :)
jun's mom was here for a month and helped out greatly with caleb and everything else. it was a good time. i'm sure caleb enjoyed having grandma around. he needs more interaction with people, that's for sure.
so, now it's picture time. hope our huge bundle of joy brings some joy to you as you look at these pics :) will update about our move in our next entry...
this is a hilarious picture...he was so excited and he scrunches his nose when he's very happy...
"i want YOU!"
one of caleb's favorite things to do right now...play with daddy's wallet. he pulls out all the cards and money and when he's done, he moves on to something else.
caleb's happy time...in his bed.
learning to eat by himself and doing so well...
caleb loves to watch elmo on youtube. he is sitting on his pottery barn sofa that his "yi" or auntie gave him for his birthday. 
caleb loves his chair!
it is korean tradition to do this for a first birthday. you basically lay out different objects on a table and the baby needs to pick an object. whatever they pick represents what they will like or become in the future. we put out a bible (some kind of ministry), soccer ball (athletic), pens (intellectual, studies hard, etc.), yarn (long life), money (he'll earn a lot of money), book (smart), mouse (tech savvy). so caleb picked 3 things: first, pens...next, money...and last, the mouse. so this is how jun put it, "he will be intellectual and earn a lot of money through technology." haha...fun stuff. isn't it interesting how traditions come about? jun picked a pen when he was one.
family fun. playing jenga with mom.
his double eyelids come and go...but usually when he gets it, it's only on one side.
a day at the beach with mom and sis. caleb's sleeping in the ergo.
crawling up a slide...
we went to walk around at downtown disney. 
at the airport when mom left...she was really sad to leave caleb :(
caleb didn't nap that day and he fell asleep while watching elmo on my lap. too cute. 
the trip to seattle. sleeping on the plane...he is such a good one :)
eating fish and chips near john's place with a view of the water.
bonding time with john...fireplace, wine, cheese, and hot chocolate...
downtown seattle. it was soooo cold. caleb had a hard time. he was so bundled up that he couldn't move!
at the fish market...
thanks to john, we had so much good food. caleb enjoying indian food.
