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
