Cruz: One Month



It is Chinese tradition to celebrate a baby's one month birthday with a banquet full of delicious Chinese food but in the McCallum household, we have reinterpreted the tradition with sushi takeout.  Close enough, right? We did it with Sam, with Jasp, and now Cruz!



Sammy One Month:


Jasper One Month:


Po Po and Gung Gung gave Cruz his first envelope of lucky money.  Jasper, with his affinity for money still going strong, decided it was his big brother duty to keep the envelope "safe" for Cruzie.  Seriously though, Jasper has really grown to love Cruz a LOT.  His love was not immediate like Sam's but it was probably more because of his age and not understanding the whole new younger sibling thing.  But now??? Oh man, he always asks to hold him, to hug him, to kiss him, to take a picture of him, to take a picture with him...everything and anything!  Super sweet to watch his love grow for his baby brother.


Although Sam is in school more than Jasp and has less time with Cruzie, he is definitely not lacking in his big brother skills.  (Are we kidding?  He's a pro!)  He always wants his share of carrying Cruz and I also found him playing peek-a-boo with baby brother.

This baby is lucky indeed.  He has so many people who love him and want to hold him all the time.  Not a bad way to spend your first month of life!


Cruz and the doctor who delivered him (and Jasper), Dr. Wilmot:
