Sleeping patterns: consistent bedtime of around 7-7:30pm, sleeping about 7 hours usually. One wakeup for a feed/change between 3-4am and then 2-3 hours of sleep. Erratic naps-sometimes very short (3-4 30 minute naps) or long (2 1.5-2 hour naps). Still in our bed!

Eating habits: still every 2 hours (sometimes less) and once overnight.

New foods: still exclusively breastfeeding.

New discoveries: figured out how to pull off socks; Mom's glasses and ties on shirts are play things; Mom's and Dad's faces and hair; "typing" on the keyboard; likes to throw toys and have Mom and Dad fetch them!

Accomplishments: sitting without assistance by using hands as support on floor (baby tripod); likes standing with assistance; consistent rolling; interacts with other babies physically and verbally; enjoys tummy time now; learned to turn hand side to side (pre-wave).

Places we went: Toys R Us, shopping at Itaewon and Myeongdong, playdate at Cowin's, walks with Dad, Costco, Yongsan, Pizza Hut.

Special friends: visited with the crew again - Ezra Dixon, Alex Cowin, and Bea Hunt.

Left to right: Ezra, Bea, Alex, and Brennan.

Baby babbles: combining sounds and repetition like "buhbuh". Dad and I also swear that you say "hi" and, one time, "how are you?"! Sometimes, it sounds like you are speaking Korean, too ("umma" and "on-day" meaning 'mom' and 'stop', respectively).
