I can't believe how quickly one year has gone by and our baby Jun Jun is turning one! It feels just like yesterday that he was born in Hong Kong. The other day I was just telling the story of his birth to a couple of friends, and the memories of it is still so vivid. Some time I will h
ave to write down our experience in Hong Kong and particularly related to his birth.
To make this one year old birthday celebration special, I had taken pictures of what we did that day to document this important event in Jun Jun's life.
In the morning my mother called to sing Happy Birthday song in Chinese to Jun Jun. Fei Fei joined along. She now can sing it in Chinese too. Jun Jun watched the phone with great interest.
Jun Jun at the doctor's office for the one year check up. He loves playing with the toys there. Heis now 22lbs 3 ozs, over 30 inches long and very healthy. After 2 shots and numerous tries for blood drawn from his arms, he was completely wiped out and was fast asleep on the ride home.
I bought a second hand rocking horse for Jun Jun as his first birthday present. I have always had the memory of myself as a baby riding on a rocking horse with my cousin in China, and I have always thought about getting a little horse like that for my children. When I saw it in a thrift store, it just caught my eyes immediately. Fei Fei and Jun Jun both had a great time riding it together. I think this toy will stay with us for a while.
We sang to him, who gazed at us and the candles with huge amazement. He was just so mesmerized with the light.
Happy Birthday to our sweet little prince.
