2 Fast


K-bao's age now rounds up to 2. Even for us K-folks who see her every day, we are amazed at how much she's grown over the past 6 months. She really is a little "big girl" now. Some of her baby fat is melting away - to K-Pop's dismay - right before our eyes (check out the difference between these two pictures). Her awareness and ability to mimic our every move (or bad habit) grows, alarmingly, each day. She has a real sense of humor now. And her sass knows no bounds.

Parochial

Trying to broaden K-bao's musical horizons the other day, we stuck in one of K-Pop's old CDs. K-bao took in about 5 seconds before she demanded her old nursery rhymes and Sunday School tunes back. Looks like the little one won't be joining the U2 groupies any time soon.

Driving to the Doghouse

While father and daughter were waiting in the car the other day on a rare weekend shopping trip for K-Mum, K-Pop decided to introduce little K-bao to the wheel to give her a headstart to the fame and fortune that awaits her on the IndyCar track.

You can see a few action shots of K-bao below, including her trying to put on K-Pop's shades first. She settled right in to the driver's seat - very much in line with her personality - and tried to shift us into D straight away.

Unfortunately, K-Pop did not notice that while she was playing with the controls, she turned the headlights on. Needless to say, when K-Mum returned to the car some time later, the car battery was drained. If not for the kindness of a stranger passing by it would have been a long afternoon for the K-family in the parking lot, not to mention for K-Pop in the doghouse.

Schadenfreude


As K-Pop was changing a dirty diaper yesterday morning, he slid the offending bundle down the counter inadvertently right in front of K-Mum, who was hovering to the side preparing to micromanage the wiping process. K-Mum did not appreciate the exposure, and let K-Pop hear it.

Then just as K-Pop leaned his head in to make sure little K-bao's posterior was indeed pristine, our little one cut the cheese loudly and proudly right in his grill. "Ha!" laughed K-Mum, enjoying the little token of divine justice. Shaken, but not beaten, and trying to keep a grim smile on his face, K-Pop went in again to finish the job. Right on cue, K-bao ripped a second one right into the open wet one in K-Pop's hand. K-Mum virtually collapsed with mirth, causing K-bao to start giggling too. "Again!" K-Mum shouted. Sure enough, with a big smile on her face and a couple of grunts, K-bao squeezed out a third.

We haven't taught her to say much, but flatulence on command? The K-folks have that one covered.

#TimeFlies

January 1, 2021! How time flies. K-bao's growth from a spunky little kid to a rambunctious tween is one of the most tangible markers of ...
