| | Tomorrow will be Jacob’s 11-month birthday. He has learned so much in the past month.
Along with saying 엄마 (uhmma – Korean for mom) and dada, he also knows the word cat but it sounds like “dat.”
He loves chasing Sydney while yelling “dat.” When we go for walks, he says “dat” when he sees dogs as well.
I suppose he’s made his own word combining dog and cat. He also understands the word "ball" and waves
his hand when you say 안녕 ("hi" in Korean).
J-man just started clapping as well and starts clapping with a big grin when we praise him.
It’s getting so exciting watching Jacob learn new things.
He speaks in his own baby language and at the moment everything sounds like “dat” and “duck.”
Here were are around Manly
   
Then we all went to the Royal Easter Show for the very first time – I LOVED IT!!!
    
Jacob loved all the animals – he kept staring at the baby chicks and wanted to touch them
 
Then we went to the Dairy Farmers Barnyard Nursery where you can “get up close to over 1000 cute and cuddly baby animals.” Who wouldn’t love that??
Here’s Jacob feeling the lamb’s ear
He decided his own ears were more interesting…
feeding the baby goats
playing drums on the calf
feeding lambs
 
Then of course we couldn’t leave the show without our very own showbag.
Jacob got the Sesame Street one, with a little duffle bag, lunchbag, ball, slippers and sunhat. Sooo cute!
I can’t wait to see which showbag Jacob picks out next year when he can choose on his own.
As it got darker, Jacob loved all the lights from the games and rides
  
I was sad when the day ended. I can’t wait until next year!!
Keith and I had our 5-year wedding anniversary last Friday, 17 April.
Since Keith had to work we celebrated yesterday and I made French toast with hearts 
That night we had a sitter come after Jacob went to bed, and Keith took me out for a date.
After driving an hour away from civilization, we drove a few kms through this dark, narrow, windy road,
and Keith parked the car on a small road with no lights, restaurants, or anything around.
If I wasn’t married to this person for 5 years I would have been pooping my pants with nervousness.
(probably not the best pick for a first date). I later realized that Keith parked by a tiny dock and we took a
little boat to the restaurant, which only has access by boat – the stars were so bright from where we were!
It was an incredible night with the most beautiful dishes and flavours.
It’s the first time I finished every dish except for dessert. I never thought it possible!
Here we are just off the boat
We married exactly 5 years ago on 17 April, 2004. (I took a pic of the menu because it had our anniversary date on it)
The last course...
Keith – where’s your dessert?
So thank you my darling husband – It has been the most incredible 5 years!
Back to our little man, Sebastian from our mother’s group started the 1st birthday parties off, since he’s the oldest in our group, born on 20 April.
It was the first time that the dads got to meet up in one of our mothers group gatherings.
Here’s the birthday boy and his mum Jen
The party was a pirate theme, and Seb’s dad made this birthday cake! Looks like it's ready to set sail ...
Here are the dads and boys (Seb was taking a nap)
Jacob playing at the party
with his mate Toby
He loved Seb's rocking horse
Guess that's it for now. We have a big month coming up.
The rest of the bubs from mothers group will all be turning 1, including our very own Jacob 정현 Wetzel!!
