Almost Two

Tay will be two years old on January 21st!!  Can't believe it has already been two years since my baby joined our family.  It really has flown by so fast.  I have to say, I thought I knew what they meant by "time flies" after my college years swept me off my feet, but I admit that it's nothing compared to once you have a baby.  Seeing her grow into this delightfully feisty toddler has brought new meaning to my life and I couldn't be happier!!

Before I get too ahead of myself here, a few photos to reflect on our holiday season...

Tay got plenty of gifts for Christmas.  One of the best ones was from my parents: Tay's own miniature kitchen in of course, my "favorite" color, pink (my mom is lucky I love her enough to overlook the color choice):

Tay got lots of gifts from other people that correlated well with her new kitchen...such as a mini baking set from Pamela, our next door neighbor:

 Tay also got a dishwasher rack full of plates, cups, and dishes from Auntie Annie:

It looks like we may have a chef in the making as nearly all of Tay's gifts were geared towards cooking.  Here's a video of Tay playing with her Christmas gift from Mommy and Daddy:


On a separate note, Tay finally got baptized at our home church in LA on Christmas Day:

The next morning, Mommy and Daddy took Tay to the Farmer's Market and Tay grabbed herself some treats:

Tay also spent a lot of time lounging at home during our relaxing holiday week in LA:

Apparently, so did Honey:

  

But Tay still helped Mommy and Daddy around at the house. Here she is helping to pick up and clean Honey's poop:

On New Year's Day, we put Tay in her hanbok from her first birthday to see if it still fit and while the dress was a little short in length, it still fit her pretty well:

Here is Tay's first traditional Korean New Year's experience:

She certainly reaped the rewards of this wonderful cultural tradition:

So 2012 has come and gone and now, 2013 is already underway.  We have lots to look forward to this year and I have no doubt that time will only go by faster.  Especially when we have this little one to amuse us on a daily basis:

Excited to see what 2013 has in store...
