Crawling and Talking

I am growing up so fast. I love crawling and exploring the house, and I keep mommy on her feet. I keep going towards the hall where the bathroom, closet, and garage are because I have never gone inside, and I'm so curious! My parents are always closing those doors, and I keep sitting in front of them, knocking on the doors, trying to see what's inside! My first word is "Um-ah," which means mom in Korean. Before, I used to say it all the time, and I don't think I knew what it meant, but now, I know who I'm calling for when I say it! I talk a lot now, making all kinds of sounds. Sometimes I like to sit in a corner and blabber while playing with a toy. I'm a pretty mellow baby. That's what I've been told by a lot of people. When mommy takes me out, people usually try to get me to smile, but I don't. I just stare at them, wondering who they are and what they're doing! They say I'm a serious baby. I smile and laugh the easiest with my dogs and people I know, but it's hard for others to get me to laugh. Uncle Philip described me as an "undercover spy" - I appear to be calm and almost drowsy, but I'm completely alert and always observing my surroundings. Isn't he funny?
