Little bun had a little 'windfall' this Chinese New Year.. these are all the red packets that he received on day one (yes, there are a lot more to come). Since this is the first time he's celebrating Chinese New Year, and also because his arrival had been much anticipated by the family, many of the relatives are especially generous.

We brought little bun back to Mark's home in Malaysia for the first time and we introduced him to his great-grandma for the first time too. Yup, the first day of this Chinese New Year marked many 'firsts' for us.. first Chinese New Year for little bun, first time he is going overseas, first time he's meeting many of the relatives on Mark's side of the family, first time he's going out for one whole day, first time we are receiving red packets (previous years we only give out red packets to relative's children).

For the past 3 years, Mark's grandma had been wishing us '添丁发财' without fail every Chinese New Year and this is the first time she didn't wish us that (although I wouldn't mind.. heehee). Yes, finally we have given her the great-grandson that she's been hoping for.

this grandchild for far too long..).
