Fullmoon

This is fun! I'm able to blog on the go with this application that I had just installed on my phone.

So Clement reaches 1 month old and we r glad that throughout this one month nothing major happen to him. Both d mummy n daddy are able to hv most of the rest and bb Clement r on full breastmilk. Thank God that mummy able to produce ALOT of milk ( like a milk production factory :) ) and the best thing that God created women was they r able to respond to the bb cry! Once bb cry the milk start to flow! So bb Clement up to date without fail always got to hv full stomach and of course with alot of love from d family as well. All the grandparents, aunties, uncles as well as friends. We thank them for their wonderful gifts, angpows, well wishes, their guidance as well as supports! Thank you!

Well as most of the babies does during their full moon, their hair being shaved. Bb clement also got his, but not on d exact day but few days after :) I think he must be glad that he lost his bb hair n now with new grown hair. He looks adorable and funny in some sense ;) now he can use his nice hat/cap, previously it was too hot for him.

So here is a pic of baby clement sleeping with his hat on to protect his head from loosing body heat.



He grow up alot, in weight as well as length.
He loves to get new info
He loves to see new places
He loves to be in d car as well
He loves to play with his baby gym monkey
He loves to play with peacock
He loves waves sound and raining sound
He loves to tab u when u r sleeping n he is awake
He loves to make faces when he is going to poo
He got thousands of reactions here r some of them.....






















I just thank God for all the joy as well as wonderful moments that had been blessed upon me. Of course I thank God for d strength that He has given me to go through this.

On the way...

Time flies... it had been 3weeks ++ since Clement was born... he was 3.15kg and now 4.2kg in 21 days... for sure he got enough sleep, milk and fun of course... :) As for a daddy... it is.... THE SAME!! :) hahahah yes... I do have enough sleep and I do have enough rest...except 1 or 2 nights of waking up to change diapers as well as carrying Clement to calm him down when he got his nightmare....(interesting that a 21days old bb got nightmare, must be the birth canal that he still got the nightmare :P....



So .. soon he will be full 1 month... and according to Chinese custom, when a baby turns one month old, a ceremony is held to celebrate the first full moon. This conincides with the end of the mother's confiment period (yippie for CM) and both mother and baby will be formally introduced to the extended family or friends for the first time (for baby). So they also have party and the baby go through some customaries and then the relative and friends will give their blessing and gifts to the new baby. Of course not to forget Ang Ku Kueh and red eggs will be served...

Ang Ku Kueh is a glutinous peanut cake dyed with approved red coloring. and for a baby boy, usually a plain round ang ku will be given out. If you got a girl, a tortoise mould ang ku will be given...

Red Eggs is usually given due to the dyed red symbolise luck and blessing and eggs are represent fertility and the round shapes symbolise harmony... so if a baby boy will give out odd number of eggs and for baby girl will be even numbers...

During the baby 1st month, they also have their first hair cut... this is to symbolise the shedding of the birth hair and some tradition said that mother and the baby need to bathe in water mixed with pomelo leaves to wash away the unwated and evil vibes.

Wow.... there are many more "tradition" that need to follow... or.. lets just keep it simple :) we will do what we can and within our reach... I believe it is a celebration of life and a celebration of best gift from God. Every little steps that the baby took from now onwards are a major steps for him... and lets just continue to help and protect him and with or without the special event.. the baby still a joyful baby :)
