My 4th Month Ceremony

I still remember my 4th month ceremony - April 10th, 2006 according to Chinese lunar calendar. It's a Monday and Papa/Mama took leave to celebrate with me. Ama prepared a bowl of great food for me, mainly consists of meat, prawn, mee suah, tofu, mushroom, and etc. according to the Hokkien tradition.

According to Ama, this ceremony is intended to train me to sit on the high chair (I still can’t sit straight by myself yet, see all the pillows that they stuff me with), and taste all kinds of food so that I won’t have allergies when I started solid food later.

And I even get to wear a necklace of biscuits too! She said this is to prevent me from dripping with saliva later….. which I think is quite true

Daddy insists that I get a cake too, even though it’s not my birthday yet….


They are not done with me yet… I have to go all the way to Ipoh so that Po Po and Gong Gong get to treat me drumstick. Guess what, I got KFC, but really, I think I’ve had enough food for today.
