Vonage phone service commercials?
So lately, Theo has really taken a liking to phone company commercials, especially ones from Vonage. Why? Who knows, maybe he thinks that Vonage offers great cash savings for phone users or maybe he just likes the pretty colors...
Theo officially celebrated his first birthday with a small family party on May 31st. We celebrated with the traditional Korean ceremony known as the Dol (sometimes written Tol). Several objects were placed in front of Theo, including a book, a pen, a miniature guitar, a paintbrush, a ball, a spool of thread, a knife, and money. Whatever objects he picked up indicated what his passions in life will be. The only object he actually picked up was the pen, meaning that he will be a writer. He also touched the paintbrush (artist), the guitar (musician), and the spool of thread (which promises a long life). Theo wore traditional Korean clothing during the ceremony; an outfit called a hanbok. His was HUGE on him, and he did not look too comfortable, so he only had it on for 15 minutes or less. After the ceremony we all sat down to a traditional Korean meal....NO, I did not cook! We ordered food from a wonderful Korean supermarket in Naperville and boy was it tasty! Following dinner Theo opened his gifts and, of course, was more fascinated by the wrapping paper than the actual gifts. Overall it was a great first birthday!
In other Theo news, he finally had his first haircut (he looks too grown-up now!), is walking up a storm, and is still the cutest thing ever. He has developed a liking for all things Mickey Mouse - a favorite activity of his is finding all the Mickeys in my Disney travel books. It's so nice to see my brainwashing working so well....
I added pictures of all the above mentioned things on my Flickr account - I hope you enjoy!
