So Curie has been smiling for a while, but it is hard to catch in a picture. We were trying on her Halloween costume and this is what we got. It is blurry, but sometimes it is not the technical aspect that makes the picture.
Curie’s Stretch
This is for Erin, Curie has this very long stretch when she wakes up. It is even more cute when you hold her, she leans way back as if she doesn’t know that she could fall, which she doesn’t and we wouldn’t let her, but it is quite the feeling having her in your arms.
Happy One Month Birthday, Curie!
So there is some debate whether I should count 28 days, four weeks, for Curie’s one month birthday or do the day of the month. Bernard rightly asserts that it would be too difficult to count 28 days, so October 10th marks Curie’s one month birthday. In the Chen tradition started by Suephy and continued by Bernard, we will take a family picture for the month as well as her daily picture. Below is her one month collage with each picture representing each day. We made the comment that she hasn’t changed that much. 🙂
Facebook or website blog?
So for some reason we have not posted any pictures to Facebook on Curie. There were reasons we didn’t do it when we found out and ever since then we just haven’t been very public about it. Somehow the privacy makes it more personal, and more special, but at the same time we want to tell everyone what is going on (if you are interested). The people who come to this site to see our pictures are already in the know and so we don’t really need to post it elsewhere. However, I do know how much more convenient it is to post on Facebook and get a news feed right away. In fact, we really do need to make an announcement about Curie there for the friends and family that we have not directly let know. It is also much easier to update Facebook than this blog, though pictures will remain largely here since I post a lot of pictures :). What do you think? I know of one person at least who reads this blog but is not on Facebook and another person who recently stopped her Facebook account. So what do you think, do we post milestones here on on Facebook? Write us a comment to let us know.
BTW Curie started grasping things two days ago and just now (which prompted this entry) began to track us visually. It is pretty exciting, and those of you who are parents know. Those of you who are not, well, it is like watching home movies or slide shows, you can tell it is exciting for us, but you may be bored. 🙂 Oh and she outgrew the preemie clothes.
Oh Curie is four weeks old yesterday/today, which I thought to be one month, but people are telling me it is the calendar month, so tomorrow is her one month birthday. Wish her a happy birthday! 🙂
