Today, we were planning to go over to Victoria to celebrate his important 1 month birthday "Chinese-style" but we had to cancel the trip due to cold weather. Instead, I was told just to boil and color a few eggs red and eat that with roast pork. Sure, why not! We were going to get a cake too but we weren't organized enough to get one when Jean-Louis made the grocery shopping trip early this morning. We had no food at home and ended up having breakfast at around noon, when he came home with bran muffins. It really is very hard to do house work while taking care of a baby. How do others do it so well? It seems like all day we have been taking turns doing house work but there is so much more to do. Tonight after dinner, we will reward ourselves with a sit down rental movie, Kung Fu Panda. Tristan can even watch too if he's not sleeping. He'll probably only cry though so it's best he does sleep :)

Tristan is 1 month old
Wow, we have survived 1 month with a newborn! And Tristan has survived 1 month with us :) Technically speaking, I believe starting tomorrow, he is no longer considered a newborn.

Happy One Month Birthday, Tristan! I googled "red eggs" and "one month birthday" in Chinese and found that it actually means that the baby will be very productive in his future career, and have a perfect life just as a perfectly round egg :P
ReplyDeleteThanks for the research Ming :) One of my aunts told me that we burn incense and pray so that he won't cry. My family tells me all sorts of stuff - whether or not it has any truth, I don't know.
