Group photo of the NYC Mui family, including our latest edition Chloe Richard on her one month celebration dinner! Say cheese! Click on the photo below to enlarge on your screen. If you want the original family photo, send me an email, otherwise I’ll be printing up a few copies for the elders.
As per Chinese tradition, we celebrated Chloe’s one month birthday with yummy chinese family-style dinner in Brooklyn with all the Mui family in NYC and her Godfather, Savio and Godmother, Melanie. Good times, good laughs and always so much fun to be with all of the family, especially when there’s a contest to see who can wake Baby Chloe up first. I tell you, this little lady sleeps through everything! Thanks to everyone for coming – next big photo shoot is Nicole’s wedding in June, see you there!
I always knew my parents would love being grandparents, you could tell they really wanted one whenever they were around other people’s babies and cooing over them. Now they have one of their own and they are the CUTEST grandparents ever. Big smiles and baby noises and all the songs and rhymes I remember from when my sister and I were little. Gotta love Grandma and Grandpa!

Wishing the weather would be spring-like but no, it’s 29 degrees and so the Mui-Richard clan is stuck in the house again. So Mommy decided to dress Baby Chloe like it was spring (of course after she spits up on her existing outfit, which is of course after I have already done laundry today) and out come the fun leggings from Uncle Peter! And here comes Daddy for a quick selfie with baby!
A few new pictures of our silly, beautiful, wonderful, lovable little girl.
Baby Chloe finally got to meet her extended family at the Ritz on Friday and she was the center of attention (naturally). She was super good and let everyone hold her without fussing although she was happy to spit up in Mommy’s arms, as usual. Next time we come back to the Ritz, we’ll have to borrow the mixing bowl upstairs in pastry for a new photo op since she’s too big to fit in our mixing bowl now!
Baby Chloe is officially one month old! Peds check up today went very well. She’s gained more than one ounce per day since her last visit so everything looks good, says the doctor. Little Chloe did so well, she didn’t even cry when we stripped her to measure her; can’t say the same for her next visit where she’ll have to get three shots. Our little girl is getting so BIG so QUICK!
They say Day 2 is when newborns are the sleepiest… I dunno… I’ve got one SLEEPY baby on my hands… so we spent the day taking various snapshots of her funny sleeping faces, particularly the many different positions her hands are in, LOL!
More introductions with the family (even if Chloe slept through most of it!).
Baby Chloe is now three weeks old and a little more than seven pounds. Three weeks of pooping, eating, and sleeping… ahhh the good life… she doesn’t know how awesome she has it! I will admit, I am looking forward to a few months from now when she’ll interact and respond to us – laughing, cooing or other responsive noises – something to show some comprehension. She does seem to recognize faces and voices now, but just ever so slightly… Everyone says the time will fly so I guess I have to enjoy what I can of her now.
