"She is gorgeous!"

Airi is eight months old. She is a sweet and happy baby.

Everywhere we went in Australia, everyone who saw Airi said "She's gorgeous!"

Everywhere we go in Japan, people say she's cute and they come to poke Airi's cheeks.

Airi smiles to everyone. Her smiles attract more people.

Airi has four teeth and we see her third top and bottom teeth now. She likes to grind her teeth. The noise makes Avram and me uncomfortable.

Finally she crawls forward to eat her books and toys. She prefers standing and walking to crawling. She enjoys the higher view.

She has many expressions. You can see what she wants now. It's easy to tell when she's sleepy and hungry. She also shows she wants to play with you or she misses you. When she says "please," her eyes are more shiny.

She pulls cups or dishes when she wants more food. When she doesn't want it, she pushes it away. She makes raspberry noise for food she doesn't like to push it away from her mouth. She eats everything, but she makes raspberry for rice these days. It makes me unhappy :(

She is very curious. Even while walking outside, eating, and falling asleep. She is very busy to look around at everything, so it takes time to finish food and to make her sleep. But it's fun to see her expression and to hear her talk then.

One problem is that she doesn't blink at all when she's looking at someone or something. It scares people.

She can pronounce "p" sounds now. She says "appa" or "up." That's good because we call Avram "appa." Appa is father in Korean where Airi was born.

When Airi hears noise, she looks for Avram and me. When she see us, she gives us a big smile:D It always makes us happy.

Now we can't keep anything around her. She can reach everything now. It's good to see that she grows up, but I have to be more careful to watch her.

She is sleeping now. It's time to work for us.
