Seoul is 2 1/2 years old now. Truly, she is amazing! Every day we look at her and marvel at her growth, development, progression, and personality. It's hard to believe she was ever not a part of our life because she has made it so much sweeter and brighter.
Even as a newborn she showed her (now more developed) stubborn side by taking her sweet time coming out after the 2nd induction, 3rd time to the hospital. She was well worth the wait - beautiful, alert, happy, and ours.
One month old: taught us the true meaning of patience, selflessness, and unconditional love as we started to learn how to be parents.
6 months old: brought new meaning to the word joy as she really developed her personality with her smiles & giggles.
1 year old: showed us how time truly flies by so we need to savor & treasure every moment.
18 months: reminded us to take pleasure in the simple things and enjoy life through the eyes of a child.
2 years old: transitioned easily into being the greatest big sister. Thanks Seoul!
2-1/2 years old: Seoul does it all!
> talks up a storm (full conversations), including telling us daily she loves us and asking WHY all the time
> sings the alphabet multiple times a day, includes identifying the written letters
> counts to 11, recognizing most of the written numbers
> knows all colors (her favorite is blue)
> identifies all shapes but triangles (which she calls diamonds)
> loves Spongebob, although still tells how Spongebob at her birthday was scary
> loves Ariel from The Little Mermaid (favorite movie)
> favorite foods: strawberries, vanilla ice cream, and noodles with chicken
> loves and is very protective of her baby sister (can't even describe all the ways she shows her love)
> likes to color (holds the crayon the proper way and colors in the lines)
> loves to read and go to the library / story time
> loves to play house (Little People house)
> has a super active imagination, which is absolutely hilarious
> sings all the time
> likes to dance and do "tricks" such as balance on the foot board of her bed
There is so much that I'm missing but those are the things I can think of off the top of my head. All in all, she is super fun, super smart, super cute, super independent, and has taught us so much.
We can't even convey how much we love our sweet Seoul Elizabeth!

Oh...she is so cute and smart! Can't believe that they grow so fast!
I can't believe she is already 2 and half! This past weekend I was scrapbooking the pictures from my trip out there when she was 5 months old. Seems like yesterday! She's a doll!
