满月了

Naomi's now a whole month old! I guess this means I can stop lying about her age. For the last 3 weeks, I've been telling people she's a month old. I still get a surprised exclamation of, "哎呀!你已经给他包出来了!" But the exclamation is not a shriek of horror at my awful parenting, followed by a long explanation of how Chinese moms don't leave the house for a month, they don't take their babies out for 3 months, and they DEFINITELY don't hold them upright for those 3 months either. I've heard these explanations so many times I could recite them backwards and forwards.
So I found it easier to just say she's a month old. And now she is! Look, how cute:

Aw, look at those cute cheeks! Happy one month anniversary to Naomi! Question, how are Chinese babies held for the first three months? cradle hold only?

So cute! She's looking more relaxed and I can see her little girl look coming out. What color are her eyes looking these days?

Very cute! I was going to say too that I saw a picture of you as a little girl on facebook and I don't know why people say Penny doesn't look like you! She has a different coloring, but her face (and those cheeks:) look a lot like you!:) They are very cute, Chelsea!
