终于满月了！In Chinese culture, month one is an important milestone. We finally hit the date. My dad picked a Chinese name for Mia: 罗逸安 (Yi'an Luo)。 "逸" (Yi) in Chinese character can be deconstructed as the walking rabbit, which goes with the baby born in the year of the Rabbit. "安" means peace, tranquility and safety. 逸安also sounds the same as "易安居士" from the name of the famous Chinese female poet Li QingChao (李清照). He wanted the baby to have a peaceful, leisurely and smooth life.
In the morning we went to the pediatrician and Mia was weighed in at 10 pounds and 6 ounces and measured at 22 inches tall. Great job mama! For me I am almost done with "sitting the month" like a bat in the house, again according to Chinese culture, not touching cold water, eating soft and bland and no raw food, no TV, no excessive reading, no getting out of the house unless absolutely necessary. I am so excited about the prospect ahead of us. Soon we will be walking around the neighborhood in stroller.
