here's the latest update on my little guy ...

Our little man is doing well with his foster family in Korea!  Below is the written update on our little guy as of December 18th (at age 10 months):

Hello.

This is the 10-month update that you asked for.

*feeding: Ho Kyeong drinks 240cc of milk every four hours and drinks the bottle all at once. When he drinks, he does not hold the bottle himself; the foster mother holds him and feeds him. For solids, he eats pieces of steamed rice, soft cookies/crackers, fruit, etc. He does not like boiled rice [porridge].


*toilet, bathing & sleeping habits: He has one good bowel movement per day. He likes being given a bath. When he is sleepy, he drinks milk and then on his own, on a futon laid out on the ground, he rolls around and then falls asleep. He falls asleep at around 11:00 p.m. and gets up in the morning at about 6-7:00 a.m. He naps once a day for about one hour. He sleeps with his foster mother on a futon laid out on the floor. Her rolls around while he sleeps.


*development: He babbles and says “umma” [Korean word for mommy] and “bbabba” [may be similar of ahppa which is daddy in Korean]. When he is in a particularly good mood, he yells. He focuses in on pictures that he looks at and he likes having music played. He has some stranger anxiety. He recognizes his foster mother and likes her. He does “dohree dohree” and “jahk jahk koong” [Korean nursery rhymes with hand movements] and has a lot of curiosity. He knows when he is being scolded and when he is being praised. He takes toys away from others. He opens drawers and tosses around all the things in the drawer. He walks well holding onto the sofa. He can take just about one step not holding onto the sofa.
