Since Rooke was born, I've wanted to get a onsie for him that says, "Made in China". I've had no luck finding them, and thought handwritten Sharpie is a little too ghetto, so I'll just honor the country of his origin with these pictures . . .
The pictures didn't turn out great, but this first one is of Rooke in his first outfit that the girls on our team in China gave him. The printed English words say, "Our give you the best in baby". While diapers are growing in popularity, most families resort to using "split pants", as seen below. Seriously. I'll let the picture of his behind and NOT the front speak for itself.
Having changed out of the pants, this is another gift one of my dear Chinese friends made for Rooke. I wish I remembered the details of the tradition, but it has something to do with a hard-boiled egg, which you'll see below.
Finally, our newest little friend is half-Chinese! Our neighbors are a Chinese-American couple and they had a little boy last Sunday. He is so healthy and big! Rooke and I got to drive the grandparents to the hospital to see their new grandson and were able to snap a picture before leaving the room. Rooke: "Uh, Mom, please don't leave me here. This kid could beat me up."
