Johanna's Full Month!

Johanna's full month should be 8th October, but we decided to celebrate on the Sunday, 6th October for convenience.

By superstition, you actually need to shave off all the hair during full month as it's considered something "dirty". Then, blessings flowed from the elders to the child. We decided not to shave off all her hair, but allow my parents to cut some and bless her in the process of the cutting. (I take off the superstitious element and allow the traditions and blessing). Grandpa blessed her with KUAI GAO ZHANG DA (Grow up well, healthy and quick) and Grandma blessed her that she will be CHONG MING LING LI (Smart and win the favour of Man.)

As parents, we blessed her that she will know God lah. And know Him intimately. :)

Here are photos of the day!
