Party on!

Dear Yasmin,
Today you were the diva of the day! Daddy and Mommy invited many friends to share your full-month celebration. Granny and daddy cooked many delicious dishes, and we ordered a beautiful full-month cake for you!
Everyone took picture with you, and presented gifts for you. We even had 2 babies, they are the babies of daddy's and mommy's friend from the ante-natal class. I invited them to join us over Christmas, so you may play with the babies soon.

Full Month!!

Dear Yasmin,
Today was the most important day in our lives! It's your full-month celebration today!

This morning, while granny was preparing for the celebrations, Mommy and Daddy took you for your first hair cut. We are going to make a very special kind of Chinese brush for you. It will be made using the hair you grew while still inside mommy's stomach. You have very bushy, long and light caramel-colored hair when you were born, you even have some sideburns! After the haircut, you became 'botak' (bald).



As the Si-fu shaved off your head, Mommy and Daddy wanted to asked him to stop, we would surely miss your bushy hair. It would take quite a while before your hair grow back!
You looked so cute without a single hair Yasmin. You have very high forehead, Daddy joked with Mommy that Yasmin is now Martian Yasmin. Granny bathed you when we got home, and dressed you in a beautiful gown, she also put on your head a very special cap. Great-granny made it for Daddy when daddy celebrated my full-month 32 years ago, all your uncles and aunty wore it when they celebrated their full-month. So this is our family heirloom. When you grow up and your own baby reach the full-month, Mommy would put the cap on his head too!

We prayed to Guan-Yin, and to our ancestors, asking them for their protection and blessings on you. Afterwards, we went to Yum Cha to celebrate. The staff at the restaurant shared our joy, and prasied what a beautiful baby you are. We can't wait for you to grow bigger so we can let you taste the dim sum

Smile! You're on Candid Camera!

Daddy and Mommy have been having a lot fun with you the last 2 days. We need to apply for you a passport, and need to take pictures of you. We placed you first on the table, then placed the tripod above you. However you cone-shaped head could never face the camera straight. We ended up with a lot of candid shots of yours. Mommy place your head facing straight at the camera, but just as daddy pressed the shutter, your head would turn, or your eyes were shut, or you flinged your hands in every angle. This is the best shot we took.







We had even more fun tonight trying to take your thumb print. We waited till you are asleep, and tried many times, and since your finger print is so fine, all we got was smuges.
