(almost) full-month celebration

we celebrated gaby's 1st month (满月) earlier with a family dinner gathering at our place today. CL prepared and cooked quite a few dishes while 2nd BIL contributed extra dishes from Golden Pillow Curry (金枕头) and FIL bought ice-cream for desserts (*MIL had few days earlier volunteered to make almond jelly w lychee since CL is preparing EVERYTHING but... as usual, she say only nia....)

the must have of the 1st month (满月) celebration

mommy finally learnt the 'secret' to color the eggs prpoperly!

the yummy chicken and mutton curries... which mommy cannot EAT... boohoo...

according to those who had the most of the curries, the mutton was a little tough. and we had quite a bit of the bread leftover!

no pictures of the feast as before mommy could take photos, the 'paternal' family members had already started digging in WITHOUT waiting for the HOST!! (wah piangz, mommy was never so rude when she went over THEIR place for dinner leh!!! but i digress...)

gaby was a good boy - he had his milk and he slept quietly in the bedroom.
then when the adults had their stomach filled, they wanted to play with 'pass the baby' so FIL went ahead to bring gaby out to the living room (mommy wasn't sure if gaby was already awake by then or FIL just grab him out to the living room... sigh!)

mommy was practically a 'tree' as mon cherie was clinging to her the whole night, only towards the end did mon cherie finally warmed up to 小叔 and played with him while mommy quickly went to cuddle and feed gaby when they rest has had enough of baby.
