100th day (baekil) celebration

Our beautiful baby Derrick is 100 days old today.
It is Korean tradition to celebrate 100th day as sort of a milestone- long ago, many babies in Korea did not survive long enough to pass 100 days. Once they passed 100 day mark, they were considered 'safe' as in they are likely to safely grow.
We had a very small celebration at our place with Chicago Grandma Grandpa, very close family friend Mr and Mrs Jung, Me, my husband, and Grandma from Seoul.
We missed Aunt Grace and Grandpa from Seoul dearly, as well as Uncle Hyun :/
Anyway, Grandma from Seoul went out of her way to cook delicious food for us and also helped out with rice cakes! Thank you G-ma from Seoul!
Here is Derrick's baekil table setup!
Balloons and table cover from Party City, picture frames from Target, pictures printed from Costco, banner customized and ordered from Little Seouls , and handmade rice cakes ordered through Hmart Chicago

 On this day, Baby Derrick knew something was going on, and he felt very fussy all day long! He wasn't his usual playful, smiling self. Poor baby, we put him in a outfit, which he didn't like much at all.
We tried to get him in the outfit, and on his bumbo, but the only decent pic we got is this...

And then we had to take him out of his outfit because he was getting too fussy- 

Tried taking a family pic, but it really is difficult to take a good shot with a baby!

We took many shots with different positions... to no avail until, we got couple semi-decent family pics!

Here is a close up picture of the beautifully handmade rice cakes! They were scrumptious!

Here we are enjoying the awesome Korean food prepared by Gma Kim from Seoul! Don't worry, Baby D got his yummy milk, too :]

As always, Derrick is the star of the party :]

All in all, it was such a blessed day, filled with love and laughter. 

Dearest Baby D, 

Mommy and Daddy are so happy that you have come into our lives and that it's already been 100 days since you were born.We love you so much, and we don't want any more than what God has blessed us with through you. 

We pray that you would grow to be a healthy, happy boy, and we will try our best to nurture and guide you in the right way.

As an added bonus here is baby D's recent tummy time video!

Until the next post, keep us in your prayers!
