\nWhen Aslin was 2 weeks old, she meet Uncle Matt and Auntie Lyly for the first time. It was then that she met her Dai Gei, Big Sister, Cayden. In chinese culture, cousins on the father’s side are called brothers and sisters. So sister Cayden was a little shy. She didn’t want to get too close to Aslin. But I think she’ll like being a big sister.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

On the 3rd week, mommy’s sister, Auntie Mary can down to visit from Sacramento. She came down to help mommy and daddy out, because Aslin would stay up all night crying and wanting mommy to nurse. Which obviously daddy couldn’t do. But lo and behold, Aslin stopped fusing that whole weekend Auntie Mary was there. Mommy and Auntie Mary had a great time talking and spending time with Aslin, and catching up on how each other’s kids were doing. I’d have admit that it was nice having family around, helping out and giving us an extra hand. It certainly lightened the load for mommy and daddy. It was too bad that Auntie Mary had to leave, because that night, Aslin was up a lot crying.<\/p>\n

\nOn Sunday, June 4th, Aslin visited Ye-ye and Ma-ma’s house the first time. That’s where daddy was raised and lived most of his life, so far. We dress Aslin up in a cute, little pink and white striped dress. She looked adorable. There, she was able to meet most of her great uncles and great aunties, as well as a few of her uncles and aunties. It was nice hearing all of the Uncles and Aunties say how beautiful she is, even though they said that she looked like daddy when he was a baby. Which I don’t know if that’s such a good thing. Daddy is certainly a handsome man, but I don’t think he’d make a very cute girl. We’ll have to see I suppose.<\/p>\n
