Aidan & Emma

Today was your cousin Emma's 100-day (Baek-Il). The 100th day is important in Korean culture as it symbolizes a milestone. Back in the days when Korea had little medical knowledge, many babies didn't live past their 100th day. So in celebration of reaching the 100th day Korean celebrate it by having a party with family and friends. We didn't do one for you because in the modern world the 100th day isn't a significant milestone, but Auntie Jess was saying that your grandparents really wanted Emma to have one. To prepare you for this special day you got your hair cut. Last time you got a horrific hair cut that made you look like Lloyd Christmas. I made sure I had picture on-hand to show the hair stylist this time. I had 2 tears- Justin Bieber and Chase Crawford's haircut. I liked how layered it was at the front and short at the back.

Look how good you are in the chair.

I had to sit you on my lap because I wasn't sure if you would sit on your own, but I think next time
you might be ready to sit on your own.

Now presenting the new and improved Aidan!

I absolutely love your hair! I had to put a little gel to push your hair to the side, but I think the
hair stylist did a great job. This was you at the mall before Emma's party. We just had lunch and
daddy bought a few clothes for himself.

Emma- the birthday girl. She slept in her little car seat for most of the dinner. So precious.

Look at those cute hands holding the cup. Aigoo aigoo.

We had a 10-course meal at Dahn. Our first course was a pine nut porridge.

This was a cold, pickled radish and cabbage broth.

This was a seaweed and noodle salad. It's a cold noodle, but it had a spiciness to it.

Emma is finally awake!

Uncle Wayne and Emma. Uncle Wayne really surprised me. He's so attentive to Emma. I guess
fatherhood really changes a man.

A beef carpaccio dish. The idea is to put all the vegetables on top, then roll it up, and dip it in a
sweet soy sauce.

Sea bass (? tasted like cod) salad.

Mini pancakes. They don't look spicy, but they were!

There's a smile from Emma!

I'm amazed how big she has gotten. She was so delicate and small when she was first born.
Thanks be to God!

Emma has the most expressive face. Her eyebrows furrow together so she always looks concerned.
It's so cute! There's her Auntie Jackie beside her.

This is the bulgogi dish.

The bulgogi went on the mini burner and after it's cooked you're supposed to dip it in the sauce
around the pan. This was your favourite dish. You ate so much meat.

You were so good. You sat in your little booster chair like a good little boy. I know lots of kids
aren't able to do that.

Mmmmmm. Bibim naeng myun.

After Dahn, we went over to your Toronto grandparents' house where we played a game of bingo
and took pictures of Emma by her dduk cake.

Your grandparents' house had the Christmas tree up so I couldn't help but take a photo of you in
front of the tree.
