"hello world!"

i refuse to be a victim of the "second child syndrome". just because my cute face has not made it into mommy's wallet yet, does NOT mean anything! ... i am on their fridge :)

if there's one thing i've learned in my 9.5 months of existence, it's "if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself!" so here i am, introducing myself to the world, ensuring i am not living in the shadow of my bigger brother!

my 9.5 month check-up revealed:
height = 72 cm = 28.35 in => almost 50th percentile
weight = 9.3 kg = 20.5 lbs => almost 50th percentile

i have 4 top teeth (that's 4 more than i had last month!!!) and 3 bottom teeth (one more since last month).

developmentally, i'm not only cruising furniture, i've managed to stand by myself too! i've been using pincer movement of my forefinger & thumb to pick up smaller objects the past two months. i learned to wave "bye-bye" and play ball with my doctor. it appears that i babble too.

while my korean name is tae-wu, i am proud to inform you i have an english name now too!!

want to know what it is? my big brother, who's apparently (??) excited to bring me home (though the video bears no such indication!!), introduces my new name in the below video. check it out!

... and if you couldn't und
erstand what he said, it's "asher zachary ..."!
