Baby Yule log 小寶貝的隨手記

Today was the checkup as a 1-month old baby. I clocked in at a healthy(!) 5.6kg, which is easily in the top 3%of babies weights (i.e. I was off the scale!).

One Chinese tradition is to shave off all the hair from a 1-month old baby and make a writing brush with it (called 胎毛筆). Like all good ancient traditions, this one only seems to have been actively observed in the last few years.

Everyone was getting a bit tired of being stuck in the hospital, so the day before yesterday I had my first (brief) trip outside - a short journey from the hospital to home.
