Alex's 100 Days

Back in the day, the infant mortality rate was high in Korea. Often a baby would die before it reached 100 days old. So, whenever it happened, there was a huge celebration. Since the introduction of Western medicine and through proper diet and research, it's now known that a baby can easily surpass 100 days. So the celebration does not seem to be important. Actually, currently, a professional picture is taken. If you enter a Korean family's house, you can more than likely find a framed picture of the baby dressed in nice clothes. So, following tradition, James and I had a photo shoot with Alex when he turned 100 days old. We also got some family portraits done since we don't have a professional picture of the three of us. The photographer is Vanessa Sanchez, my brother's girlfriend. Very talented young photographer.
