Daniel is ONE!

Today is Daniel's first birthday. Will and I took the day off from work and we spent the day in Minneapolis (and St. Paul). We started the day at Children's Home Society and Family Services for our three month check in with our adoption social worker. (Double click on the above photo to enlarge it and see Daniel's squished up nose smile. It's his latest cute trick!)

We then had lunch at a Korean restaurant. Daniel ate kimchi pancakes, bulgogi, and bibimbap. He LOVED it!! Abby -- not so much!

We then spent the afternoon at the Minnesota Zoo. Abby of course LOVED that and Daniel really enjoyed it as well. His favorite animals seemed to be the otters, grizzly bear, Amur tiger and the goats (yes, the Minnesota Zoo has goats)!

But Daniel's favorite zoo activity was patting Abby on the head -- over and over again!

Our party for Daniel is tomorrow, so instead of cake, Abby and Daniel had ice cream. And because she is Abby, she wore much of the ice cream on her face!

But alas, turning one is really hard work and when you have your favorite pacifier and you're snuggled with your super snuggler, you've just got to give it up!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY DANIEL MIN JAE RICHARD STOTT!
