My first birthday!

Today was my first birthday! In the morning we went to a photo studio to get my pictures taken, and then daddy drove us to Suwon where we celebrated with my Korean relatives. I also got to pick one thing from the table which had a notebook, pencil, thread, money. I chose the pencil, which means that I will become a scholar... we'll see!

In one year I grew about 26 cm (from 54 to 80 cm), gained 8.4 kg (from 3.6 to 12 kg), and got 8 teeth. I can crawl very fast and I can walk a few meters now, I can say mama, papa and dada (= mummy, daddy & bye-bye in dutch). I can clap my hands, wave bye-bye and give wet kisses. When mummy or daddy tell me I shouldn't do something, I laugh, and the louder they say it the louder I laugh. I can climb on to sofa's and low coffee tables and get down by myself. I love to open all the cabinets and take things out and putting other things into them. I also like to switch off the tv, the dishwasher, and especially the computer while mummy is using it. I eat most foods in small amounts, but I still have a strong preference for mummy's milk.
