100 day celebration

In Korean culture, there is a milestone for babies called baek-il, which translates to 100 days. Though a new baby’s 100 Days is a celebration, it’s actually rooted in a somewhat sad history of Korean childbirth. Way, way back in the day, when we didn’t pay bazooka dollars in health insurance for ob/gyns and neo-natal specialists, infant mortality rates were high and many newborn babies never survived beyond three months. Supposedly, after this milestone, babies are rumored to sleep through the night. Ha - I'll believe it when I see it!

Thus, our family got together in the beautiful Lake Tahoe to celebrate baby Noah's 100 days. We spent the long weekend enjoying the beautiful view, hiking, eating lots of good food, and giving Noah plenty of love and attention!






This was also Noah's first plane ride! He did amazing - not a peep, whimper, protest the entire time. After our flight was over, the folks sitting next to us admitted that they were nervous when we sat down next to them. Noah eventually won them over and had a fan club by the end of the flight.
