Red Egg!

On April 12th we celebrated Ethan's one month red egg luncheon with our close friends and family. It's a Chinese tradition that we celebrate and give red eggs as a symbol of his changing process in life and the round shape of the egg is the symbol of a harmonious and happy life. The eggs are made red because it represents happiness in Chinese culture. That was a little history for you if you didn't know what it was for. Actually I didn't either, that's why I looked it up. Hehehe...

Ok, so that's the real story behind the red egg celebration... What we told our friends (that are not Chinese) is that they need to bring a red egg to our luncheon and there will be a contest and whomever has the most creative egg wins a prize, that's why it's called the red egg luncheon. Some friends were stressing out because they weren't sure if we were serious or not and even called our other friends the day before the luncheon to see if they're bringing an egg or not. Only one friend was gullible enough to fall for it...

Teresa & Dave won the contest! Unfortunately there was no prize. Sorry guys, didn't think you'd really bring an egg...

Anyway, Ethan slept most of the time and didn't fuss much. He was so cute in his little outfit. He was such a good boy!

My little fatty!

I took Ethan to the doctor's for his one month check up and guess how much weight he gained? 3 pounds! The doctor said that babies should be gaining 1 ounce a day, but of course my son gains 2 ounces a day! At least he's a healthy baby.

Our New Addition

After seven and a half hours of labor, little Ethan James Lee was born on March 1st, 2008 at 10:29pm weighing 6lbs 11oz and 19 inches long. Seeing him for the first time was surreal. I couldn't believe this little person was growing inside of me. It was love at first sight. He is the most precious thing I've ever seen! Larry and I are proud parents.

The next day we had many visitors. Ethan is so lucky to have such wonderful uncles and aunts.

Ethan at 7 days... such a sweetheart!
