For a week, Waipo had all three kids and all three grandkids in one house. With the whole Chen side in town, we gave a baby Paul a traditional Chinese welcome. My boys are trained from birth to be cooperative photo subjects. Cousin Xuan, however, kept trying to escape from this group picture. Waipo made sticky rice and red eggs, which is what parents in Taiwan give out for their sons' one-month celebration. We only gave them to Chinese friends. I can only imagine what the white people would think, red hard-boiled eggs?? We borrowed my sister's baby bling, gold she received when she was born. Putting jewelry on a newborn isn't so practical, so it only stayed on for a couple of frames. Wearing the cookie necklace usually doesn't happen for another couple of months, but we made one for Paul because everyone is here. Joseph and Xuan got to help eat a cookie... then Xuan was too sugared-up to fall asleep at bedtime. Oops. Is eating cake traditional? I don't know, but I'm going to make it my tradition. The star of the show missed out on his own cake! The whole gang.
