I'm not certain why, but in Chinese tradition, it's customary to celebrate baby's one month anniversary. Being first time parents, DH and I were excited to celebrate with Harvey, despite not having any family close by. We bought a cake, wore red (another birthday tradition), and took lots of pictures.
These photos were taken a month ago (yes, I still haven't caught up with my backlog) and looking at them now, it's amazing how fast babies grow! I don't think Harvey can fit into that outfit anymore!
Happy first and second months to such a sweet darling boy! He looks adorable! Yummy new baby!
ReplyDeleteSigh. I want another one.
I'm adding you to my mommy blog blogroll =)
Oh my, what a cute baby!
ReplyDeleteI think its very common with Asians to celebrate baby's milestone. Like my cousins and my sister-in-law (we're Filipinos), they buy their babies cakes EVERY month! Other cultures don't get it. Some find it a little too lavish....or just plain weird. LOL. I think it's cute.
Kaye, I grew up in Manila. :)
ReplyDeleteI briefly thought about buying cakes every month, then I came to my senses, haha. I would probably gain 5 lbs each month because of it since I'm the only one in this household who really enjoys cake :)
