Josiah's Baek-Il

We recently had Josiah's Baek-Il (or 100 day) celebration! Baek-Il is a Korean tradition on the 100th day after a child’s birth to celebrate that the infant has survived this important milestone. Traditionally, the purpose is to give thanks and pray for the child to have many blessings.

Alot of loving care went into preparing a table of "bounty" to represent future blessings for Baby Josiah!




Josiah dressed in a han-bok and joined everyone for the celebration!


Here he is in a traditional pose, ready for family photos!

Here is a close up of a very patient "Baby Siah" waiting for all the adults to get it together! :)


After seeing Josiah in his han-bok, Jared insisted upon being able to wear his as well. Josiah examined his big brother's outfit closely before giving his approval! :)
