On July 26, 2008, Justin and 70 of his closest friends and family celebrated his arrival and completion of his first month of life! In old China, this was a huge milestone. But then again, in old China, mothers were supposed to stay indoors and not wash their hair for that first month either. Thanks goodness times have changed and we are not in China!
Justin wore a jade bracelet on one arm, a gold bracelet on the other, and even a gold ring, all which daddy wore at his red egg party! He looked so regal (and just a little bit feminine ;) Justin was also given his Chinese name, Woo Gah Keyung, which means Strong Country. He was given this name by his proud Grandparents; a name passed down from his long passed Uncle Peter. Hopefully, Justin's namesakes will watch over him and grant him a long and healthy life.
We could not have asked for a better behaved boy that night -- from the loudest banquet hall known to man, to being passed to the arms of eager strangers, Justin took it all in stride. Not one peep! Everyone kept telling us what a beautiful and even-tempered baby we have, and how lucky we were (like we needed any reinforcement ;) It just reaffirmed my belief that he has his daddy's temperament!
I wish we had better pictures -- Uncle Ryan thought he was being artistic.
