yesterday was attie's 4 month mark. when a baby turns 4 months old, there is a taiwanese tradition where you make a necklace out of cookies for the baby to wear. this is to help "take away the saliva" so that the baby will stop drooling in the months ahead. i wasn't really sure if i was doing it right, but here was my attempt. i made a little necklace out of mini fudge cookies and placed it around attie's neck.
i used the cookies to wipe the drool off her face, and pretended to feed her some of the cookies (she is still way too young to eat solids).
i looked online to see if i could find any other information and i guess you're supposed to take the baby to see your neighbors. When a neighbor sees the child, he or she is to break off a piece of cookie and wipes the saliva off the baby's face with it. we didn't do that, but oh well. hopefully it'll work :)
