Baby I's Dohl: Boston Lifestyle Portrait Photographer
This adorable guy I’m about to introduce is my very own nephew. If there aren’t perks as an aunt (gomo in Korean) to take photos of my own nephew, I don’t want to be an aunt! 😉
He turned 1 last year, and we traveled to witness the momentous celebration in Michigan. Koreans have a traditional celebration where abundant piles of fruits and rice cakes are piled on a table along with a playful game, where a baby gets to grab an object that playfully represents a future calling/fortune. Sometimes guests gets to take a stab into a poll.
We’ve heard over and over that this celebration is upheld more tightly by Korean Americans than Koreans in Korea. In Korea they are more elaborate like western weddings.
Rice bowl means well fed
Pencils mean scholar
Money mean wealth
String means longevity, and few other variable things.
Among other things, He grabbed the pencils. Being son of 2 scholars, this made the parents extremely happy! But see below to see what happened next!
Isn’t he amazingly adorable??

Here he grabbed the bundle of pencils, the crowd cheered really loudly, and the loud noise set him crying….
