On June 12th, 2006, Imanuel Alexander became 100 days old.  In Korean,
it is called “Baek-il” and it is a traditional celebration.  Back in
the day in the motherland, the survival rate for infants was very low,
however, if the baby reached the 100 day mark, the chances that the
baby would survive dramatically increased.  So, Koreans celebrate this
landmark in a baby’s life, traditionally to give thanks to false gods
and pray for wealth and luck, but nowadays it’s an excuse to have a
party!  We did neither. 

We just chilled with the family and took pictures.  We’ll save the party for his 1 year…
