Fullmoon Party!

According to the Chinese customs, once the child reaches his first fullmoon, he makes his debut to close friends and relatives. Prior to his first fullmoon, he is supposed to be confined in his home together with his mother. Interesting aside, why fullmoon? I believe it is because Chinese has always used the lunar calendar and hence, the first fullmoon is akin to the first month of his life.

In anycase, here are some pictures of Da-Yong's fullmoon party with approximately 50 guests celebrating this wonderful event with us. Many thanks to everyone for attending and making this celebration a success!


Let the party begin!


Here is Auntie Shanon carrying him...


Loads of guests, hopefully they are enjoying themselves.


Here is Auntie Kheng Lee saying "Kuchi Kuchi Kuuu!!!"


I'm all beat from this party...time to go home!

More Pictures!

I guess I should have expected this but I never realised that taking care of a baby is really a full time job. Actually, this is more than a full time job! It is truly tiring. In anycase, sorry for the long silence but I really didn't get any chance to come online until now. So, without further ado, here are some new pictures of Da-Yong. I will write more with my thoughts in another update later when I get another breather..


Here, Da-Yong is just getting ready to brave the COLD new world outdoors...:)


Isn't he cute with his new gargantuan sweater from his Tua Kor?


Here he is, sleeping on our bed blissfully...


Look at him, he could not be bothered even if the sky fell! :)


Here the entire family enjoying a lunch outside with Da-Yong watching...


A-hah! Caught Wendy with baby asleep!


He can't be that comfortable in that position...


Oh oh...he is TRULY angry...


WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
