Celebrating a new baby’s 100th day is a very old Chinese tradition. I was curious about where it came from, and had my suspicians, so I did some research. I was pretty much right in my guess. It actually has very sad roots. It comes from a time when babies often did not survive to the 100th day. I’m so thankful to be in a time where that’s not something people have to think so much about, and that this celebration can simply be a tradition that’s followed because we all like a reason to celebrate our gorgeous new babies. And let me just say, Miss Olivia is certainly gorgeous!! Which one would only expect, coming from such handsome parents.
Here they all are:
Seriously, who could look at this little girl with all of that hair and not smile???
She is just simply beautiful. I about can’t stop looking at her!
This didn’t work out quite like I’d planned. I’d hoped she’d give me a look similar to above, but she just wasn’t very happy about all of this. I still think it’s an adorable image.
This is a fun shot. If you look closely, you can see her mother reflected in her eyes.
Here are Grandma and Grandpa. They are a wonderful help to Mom and Dad. This is a Chinese tradition that I could really get into. Having help with the new baby! I just love her expression here.
Here’s everyone, Grandma & Grandpa, Mom & Dad, and Olivia
You have a beautiful family and it was such a joy to be a part of your baby’s very special day!
