Kim Dot-byul picks up a golf ball among various items for Doljabi on a tray during her first birthday party or Doljanchi in Korean in Seoul December 14, 2013. It takes a lot more than a cake and a song to celebrate a baby's first birthday in South Korea, where in the past disease and starvation claimed so many lives that the passing of an infant's first year was a major milestone. Doljabi is a tradition where the child is presented with different items and whatever he or she chooses is believed to determine the child's future. Picture taken on December 14, 2013.
