Day 32

Earlier today, Vivian took Connor to the doctor and he weighed in at 8lb 10.5oz and 22 inches long. Our baby is growing so fast. He’s over one month old now! It’s time for a small family celebration. By the time I get home from work, my parents have everything prepared for a short ceremony. Connor is decked out with some nice bling and a lucky red outfit. There is a table full of offerings. Incense sticks are lit. My parents say a few words to Connor. We bow. And finally, my dad takes a small clipping of Connors’ hair. It’s a whirlwind of activity, of which I really need to learn the significance… and then we are off to dinner where the rest of my siblings await.
