100th post!

yay for the 100th teamshin post!

what else to post about but isaiah and little c.

isaiah loves helping umma hold his little sister. he wants to try to hold her by himself but he's not quite big enough!

but whenever she cries he tries to soothe her by giving her a hug or holding her hand.

isaiah holding christina's pacifier so carefully,

he's pretty sure he knows what to do with it

here's how it goes!!

hmmm... maybe not...

growing

christina had her 2 week appointment a couple of days ago and she is growing at a huge rate!

She already weighs 7 lb 13 oz, and is now 20 inches long. Her pediatrician was impressed by her growth and said that everything looks perfect. She takes after her big brother who was also a big eater as a newborn!

making a silly face

hanging out with her big brother on a saturday morning. isaiah is trying to teach her about playing on the iphone.

Good night

isaiah blowing kisses and saying bye for the night. what a cutie.

sweet isaiah

isaiah has been such a sweet big brother so far. he loves to give his baby sister "bbo bbos" (kisses) and every time she cries he points at her and says "baby!".

these days his favorite things include trains and looking at pictures on the computer with appah.

i will try to get some video of isaiah and christina soon. for now, here are some pictures:

Team Shin welcomes its fourth member!

On August 12, 2010, Team Shin finally welcomed their fourth and newest member! Christina Hae-Soo Shin was born at 5:15 am. She weighed in at 6lb 6oz, and 19.25 inches.

Her big brother Isaiah was excited to finally meet his sister. He came to visit the hospital with halmunee that same morning. He spent the whole time pointing at his sister and saying "baby!"



Here Christina is getting ready to join the rest of her family in her new home. It's hard to believe how small she is!



Umma is ready to leave the hospital.




Appah with his new daughter.



Beautiful baby girl.



How does Christina like being with her new family?

puzzles

sorry its been such a long time since our last update!

isaiah loves puzzles these days... and he loves ovals! (you'll notice that the octagon is missing in this puzzle-- we haven't seen it in months but are hoping to find it when we move next week!)
