Baby Diplomats go to Lotte World instead of Disney World

Ok so I'll probably go to Disney World too at some point but I went to Lotte World first.  Notice the traditional Korean building behind us (not the castle thing the other one).  Yeah... like I said, Lotte World :-) 

Baby Diplomats watch the royal wedding instead of cartoons.

Hey a girl has to stay current if she's going to hang with diplomats! 

(And yes I know this was a few months ago. I'm a bit slow in posting).

Baby Diplomats Hang out with Ambassadors

This is me and mom and dad with the US Ambassador to Korea during this years 4th of July celebrations.  Not to shabby huh?  Yeah I totally look like I'm hanging with my peeps in the hood:-)  What can I say, baby diplomats are just comforable hanging with Ambassadors! 

Baby Diplomats vacation in Busan, Korea

This was us my first vacation ever.  We took a really fast train to get here and I got to swim in the pool on the roof of the hotel and put my feet in the sand.  Busan is cool!

Baby Diplomats hang at Starbucks...

Ok maybe lot's of baby's hang at Starbucks but do they hang at the only Starbucks in the world to have the  outside Starbucks sign written in a language other then English... in this case Korean?  This picture is from a couple of months ago.  Come to think of it, we need to go back there! 

Baby Diplomats Party with Diplomats from Birth

This picture was taken the day after I was born and all those folks are diplomats!  Yup I hang with diplomats all the time.  Well ok it helps that mom works with these folks.  Still a girl's got to brag a little:-)  Sorry this post is a bit late but we were just partying with diplomats again recently so I just remembered I should blog about this.    

Baby Diplomat's celebrate Easter at a Korean palace

Yup I'm wearing bunny ears... at a palace... Parents!!!  What can I say?  It was a fun day though.  I got lots of attention in those ears and  who doesn't love attention:-)   

Baby Diplomats celebrate at Greek restaurants in Korea

This is at my 100 day birthday. The 100 day thing is a big deal in Korea. I'm not sure if it's a celebration cause I survived or cause my parents survived but it's a big deal. What can I say... I'm international baby!

Baby Diplomats visit museums

In this case we went to the Korean museum.  I'm the little one in the carrier.  Duh!  I am a baby folks.

Baby Diplomats get CRBA's

No it's not a disease!  It's a Consular Report of Birth Abroad.  It's the embassy document that confirms I'm a US citizen.  Now the real question is can I be President some day.... hmmmm?  I forsee a legal case here:-)  A girl's got to have plans! 

Baby Diplomats celebrate Superbowl Monday instead of Sunday

Yup that’s me with Dad and our Super bowl Monday brunch.  That’s what you get when you live in Korea and you are 13 hours ahead of the east coast.  The only bad part was that they didn't show the commercials here!  What's the point of watching without the commercials!  Sheeshh!!!

Baby Diplomats make Skype calls during their first week of life

In my case there were numerous Skype calls to many parts of the world.  This one is between Korea and Greece.  Not too shabby! 

Baby Diplomats are born in hospitals where the signs are not in English.

. 

In my case the hospital was Korean and it was amazing!  I think the sign above might have my name on it... but who knows.  Maybe my name is the stars... I'm guessing they couldn't exactly spell my name.

Baby Diplomats have visitors from far and wide

Despite being born far away from my parents home I was very lucky to have all sorts of visitors come to see me within my first few months of life . Dad's best friend was on a navy carrier that happened to dock in Korea the day before I was born so he was able to see me within a few hours of my birth.  My grandparents from both sides were also able to visit.  Gramma T was with me for two months  and Lola and Lulu V. came when I was 5 weeks old and were here for my baptisim.  My aunt and uncle and my godparents will also be visiting soon.  Not bad for a baby born in Korea.  Good thing that being charming is part of the job requirements for a Baby Diplomat. I had alot of people to charm during my first few months.

This is a blog about the life of Baby Diplomats. It's a blog about me!  Baby Diplomats are babies who are world travelers from the day they are born.  Baby Diplomats have a fairly normal, abnormal life and I figured others might like to hear about it.  There won't be alot of writing involved. I haven't figured out this writing thing yet and mom doesn't always understand my language.  I'm a big fan of art though (especially lights - I love staring at lights and shadows) so I figured I'd express myself through pictures.  I think you'll understand my message.  Life as a Baby Diplomat is funny, sometimes silly and often interesting... follow along and you'll see!
