Happy one month, Rowena Kaur Kler!

Rowena is one month old today. Actually, she was born on the 25th of April, but the Hindu priest did some calculation and we had to do her I month rituals today - which means 1 day less of confinement. Clap clap!

We had some prayers at home, just among the family. Even daddy could not make it as he had to work. Basically, this ceremony is to bless the baby and to chase away any evil that may surround her. Everyone had to whisper Rowena's name into her ear 3 times and feed her with some honey. Harvynna had some honey too. Harvynna was very interested in the whole ceremony. She sat next to me and was asking, 'Why uncle xxxxx' and even demanded a banana from the priest. Harvynna - whispering Rowena's name

After the ceremony, we went to the Hindu temple to present Rowena to the Goddess. It was Rowena's first outing(other than the visit to the dr).

Rowena will have another ceremony(the Sikh baptism ceremony), whereby she will be baptised as a Sikh. We will probably do that at the end of the year when we go to Kota Kinabalu (daddy's hometown) in the Sikh temple. We decided not to travel now as it would be quite tough travelling with Harvynna and the baby. The last time we went back to Sabah in November last year, Harvynna was running all over the plane and screaming that I felt like jumping off the plane!

So fast, 1 month has gone by. Before we know it, Rowena will be crawling, walking, running and talking. Time really flew by since Harvynna was born and now she is an active little toddler. It will be exciting to see the 2 girls growing up and playing together.
