Today marks 9 months since we met Jae-min. I have thought alot today about this pivotal number...9 months. The same amount of time that Jae-min spent in his birth country. The same amount of time a typical pregnancy lasts, yet in Jae-min's case he was with his birth mother for a shorter amount of time due to his early arrival. It saddens me slightly to think that from this day forward Jae-min will know his new life longer. He will always have those previous 9 months with his birth mother as well as with his birth country, but will never move past that number....9 months. I continue to thank God every day for these last nine months, but never want to forget the nine months before. They made Jae-min into who he is today and I am grateful for those 9 months.
Today we celebrated by picking out our Christmas tree as a family of 3 and then meeting Elmo. Yup, Jae-min met Elmo!!! He was in complete awe and loved loved loved him.
Just look at those eyes staring up at ELMO. I think he was thinking wow, is that really you?
Jae-min gave a big cheer when Elmo walked in the door. I think Elmo found his number 1 fan.
Which tree are we picking mom because its cold out here?
Happy 9 months sweet baby boy. We will always remember where you came from and the people who loved you for the first 9 months!!!!
