One month old Buddhist ceremony

When Changton reached one month old, we held a Buddhist ceremony for him.

In the morning, Grandpa offered food and flowers to our family's ancestors, Changton's guardian, and the house spirit.

In the late afternoon, monks came to perform the ceremony. Changton was cooperative as he slept in his crib throughout the ceremony!

Mami was very honor and grateful that Than Jao Khun (of Pra Sigha Temple) performed the ceremony for Changton. Mami has known Than Jao Khun since she was a little girl, going to his temple with her classmates for medication.

Grandpa donated a pair of china white-blue vase to Pra Sigha Temple on Changton's special occasion.
