Roseola

So Oooju's big sickness this year was Roseola or baby measles. We had no idea what it was. It starts as a fever and here, you can see how miserable poor Buckyball is. His fever went up to 104 and lasted 4 days.


Once the fever breaks, the virus is expelled from the body through a rash. However, we never took a picture of this. Fortunately, I found this picture while doing research. It might as well be Oooju. We fooled my mom. She was so confused as to how his picture ended up on some medical website.

Pictures in his Hanboke

So my aunt in Korea sent us a cute little hanboke(traditional korean clothes) for Oooju's dol (one year birthday). We went to Sears to take these pictures. Oooju is not a smiley baby. I tried to explain that to the lady, but she kept fanning something in his face to get him to smile. He just kept staring at her.

Here's what I call the classic OOoju face where he looks confused and stunned:


Here's Oooju with some dingy bear that ended up looking good in black and white:

Here's Oooju the way I see him, in his natural pose:


Here's Oooju smiling. The fanning didn't work. The only way I could get him to smile was by singing this clapping song. But then, he'd see the lady and instantly stop smiling. what a freak:


And here's my little Oooju guy standing next to the number 1:

Back Again

After a grueling quarter, I finally have some time to blog again. Oooju's almost a year old. Two more days. We'll have a big party for him on Saturday and I'll definitely post pictures from the party, but here are some videos that were taken recently. I can't believe how big he's gotten.

Hanging out

BCAM at LACMA

Last weekend, we took the baby to BCAM at LACMA. Unfortunately, we couldn't take too many pictures. Actually, they wouldn't let us take any pictures. That's too bad because I really wanted to get one of Oooju in front of Koons's blue balloon dog.

However, I got a video of Oooju crawling inside one the the Richard Sera works.




We thought we could take a picture in front of the fire truck outside but right here, the security guard is trying to stop us from taking a picture.

But besides the problems with the pictures, we had a great time. Oooju loved the art work. I think contemporary art appeals to babies because everything looks so cartoonish. The baby responds really well to the bright colors and big prints.

Easter Bunny

So here's what happened with the easter bunny pictures. When we got there, it never occured to me that Oooju would cry because of the bunny. But a bunch of kids were crying and I don't blame them. Hazel knew all about babies crying because of Lucas's past experience with Santa, so she sat in on the picture and that calmed Lucas down. But even with me sitting with Oooju, he kept staring at the freaky retarded easter bunny and kept crying. I just kept thinking that it took so much time to get ready and get to the damn mall so I didn't want to waste this opportunity and I was going to get a good picture. So I told the easter bunny to get out of the picture. It worked out really well. Except Oooju looks kind of pissed off at this point.




Luckily, we took our own pictures:





These are from Easter Sunday. We took the baby to church.
