Airi speaks.

Airi loves Avram. She calls him Appa which means Daddy in Korean and Avram answers her.

"Appa." "Airi." "Appa." "Airi." "Appa." ... . They're like a boyfriend and girlfriend. Unfortunately Airi also calls me Appa, but Avram answers for me. We hope that she'll learn the difference eventually.

Airi speak some words these days such as banana, mannma (means food), attsui (hot), oishii (tastes good), and pooh (of course, which is Winnie the Pooh).

She points to what she wants now. For example she likes to turn on/off switches, so she points to them. She also likes tissues to clean her table, so she points to them too.

When I say "hamigaki (brush your teeth), then she shows the gesture and she does it with her toothbrush and wipes.

I ask her if she pooped. Then she pats her tummy. It means time to change her diaper.

The best things she does are giving a hug and blowing a kiss. It's very sweet. It attracts people more and melts them.

She learns many things everyday. It's very interesting to see and talk with her.

She loves outside and people, so I will take her out when she wakes up from her nap.

Amazing!

Airi turned one on November 2nd. Last three months, she grew up very much.

In 1o month, she started to walk.

In 11 month, she climbed stairs and pushed her stroller by herself.

When she turned one year old last week, she started doing more things.

First, she brought her changing diaper sheet when she made a gift.

Second, she knows the differences between songs that I sing, so she changes her dances for each songs.

Third, she plays music by her toy and dances on purpose. Music first and then dance.

Fourth, Airi likes that I point a doll's eyes, nose, and mouth. Airi smiles and touches hers.

Fifth, I showed how to hug. Now she does for Avram, me, and the doll.

Sixth, she blows people kisses. It attracts more people better than only smiling.

Seventh, she likes to talk. Sounds like she talks not only words but also sentences with grammar. I can see she understands what I say and does what I said.

Eighth, Airi brushes her teeth with her fingers when I say "let's brush your teeth." She shows me how to do it before I do it for her.

Ninth, Airi eats regular food with us now. Not baby food for people without teeth.

Tenth, she sometimes gets some words from videos or conversations and follows the words.

She's amazing. She grows well everyday:D
