Month 7 Updates
While every month is eventful, Month 7 seems less so in retrospect. Of course, that's what happens when you try to make up for 3 months of slacking off.
Above is our little monkey chomping on a banana. He really does like them a lot, but we usually try to peel them first. He's not picky though.
Meeting John & Barbara
Mommy and Daddy's friends from Puerto Rico came to visit in November. Sammy got to meet John and Barbara for the first time. The adults got to have quite a few adventures and Sammy got to have a few adventures of his own in the two weeks they were here.
Sammy got to meet his babysitter for the first time. We call her Emo (sounds a lot like Emil, doesn't it). That just means "Aunt" in Korean and there's not really a better term for it, though I think that sounds nice. I don't even know her actually name, though Moon's got it on record :) Sammy seems to get along well with her and if all goes well we'll keep her on for a couple days a week to give Moon some down time.
He joined everyone at Namsan Tower to check out the view of Seoul.
Sammy took his first tour of a Korean traditional folk village, which he's really enjoy in a few years.
Here is a tight rope walker who was quite entertaining. Pictures don't do him justice as he does quite a bit of acrobatics. This includes him bouncing on his groin about 10 times a minute. It's simply painful to watch!
First Thanksgiving
Sammy celebrated his first American Thanksgiving with Mommy, Daddy, and some of Daddy's office friends.
He wasn't quite ready to chomp down this big hunk of turkey, but I still liked to tempt him with it.
Milestones
No good pictures of this, but Sammy hit a few milestones this month.
1. On November 29, he got up on his own and stood in the middle of the room. This is the first time that he didn't need any support from us or an object. It won't be long now before he's taking those steps.
2. On the 30th he clapped. We'll see if this is just an aberration or if this is his new trick.
3. I don't know if this is good or bad, but he is learning how to use the TV remote control. On December 4 (a day before turning 8 months) he decided to see how loud the TV would go. Surprised both mommy and Sammy just a little.
