Avery Oppa's Dol

Avery had his "dol" party at a place called the Glen Rock Inn on Saturday, September 22nd at noon. It was a nice, quaint gathering with family and friends. He wasn't in a very good mood though.

"As soon as we got there, Mommy had to change my diaper. I felt so much better as you can tell from my facial expression."

"Here I am with Grandma Park. She came all the way from CA for the dol. Last time I saw her, she came from CA for my 100th day party. Too bad I don't get to see her more often."

"3 generations of the Park's."

"C'mon Daddy ~ keep your eyes open. Mommy already took 4 pictures."

"I'm going to take a quick nap with Ms. Elephant so Mommy can eat. Look ~ we match! I got a pink bow; Ms. Elephant has a pink head. I got a green pacifier; Ms. Elephant has a green ribbon. I got a pink dress on; Ms. Elephant has a pink dress on. I got tights on with fake pink shoes; Ms. Elephant has pink feet. hehe."

"Avery oppa is such a flirt. Look at that face he is giving Grandma Park. All of his friends who came to the party were all girls too!!"

"Avery oppa with his Mommy and Daddy."

"See...Mommy told you. He was not very happy that day. I guess he doesn't like wearing the hanbok (traditional Korean outfit)."

"Poor Oppa"

"Since Avery oppa didn't want to take pictures sitting behind his dol table, Daddy and I thought we would practice for my dol in May. This is easy. I don't know why Avery oppa didn't want to do it."

"Avery oppa did participate in this part of the day's activities. Aunt Sharon picked out several items that were to symbolize Avery oppa's future. She went with the more modern items though. There was a book, crayons, medicine dropper, string, money and a golf ball. He went straight for the golf ball without any hesitation. I guess he wants to be a pro golfer. We'll see."

"A quick picture with Grandma Park. She couldn't believe how strong I was. I showed her. I made her hold me up so I could stand."

"Here I am with Avery oppa's Grandpa."

"It was starting to get a bit chilly in the party room so Mommy put this cute bunny hat on me. How do I look? Daddy thinks I look like a boy in this hat."

"It's time to go. I'm all buckled in and I got Ms. Elephant. Daddy was making me laugh."

"Hey...is the party over now? I'm just starting to be in a better mood."

Avery: "Emma, are you leaving now? I like your hat. Can I have it?"
Emma: "Hmm...let me think about it."

"I'm still thinking. Avery oppa, why don't you look at the funny faces Daddy is making while I continue to think about it?"

"Last family picture of the day."

"It wasn't even my dol party but I'm pooped. Time for a quick nap before Mommy and Daddy take me to Manhattan/NYC."
