Kylie: Three Months

A cake covered in chocolate frosting, sprinkled with cocoanut, surrounded by marachino cherries. In the center there is a pink candle in the shape of the number three.
Time must fly even faster when one has kids. The past three months have rushed by like the waters over Iguaçu Falls. On the evening of the 16th we celebrated Kylie's third month since her arrival. As you may have figured out from the picture above, there was a chocolate cake involved; but before that there was a healthy dinner and plenty of conversation.

It is customary to celebrate each month up to the first birthday here in Brazil. These are usually just family. Then on the first birthday, there is a big celebration with many people invited.

Here are the photos from the event:

  1. Who bakes these cakes for the monthly celebration?

  2. Thanks for the question. I feel kind of stupid for not mentioning that now that you bring it up!

    My mother-in-law makes these wonderful cakes. They are delicious.

  3. Congrats on three months, little Kylie!

    I have to ask...who writes the captions that pop up when you mouse over pictures on this page?

    Like for the picture of Nadya holding Kylie below, it says:

    "A thirty something woman holds a small child in a yellow shirt with a smiley face on it. The woman is smiling, and is wearing a beige purse and a black and grey blouse."

  4. Hi Sarah. That is me that writes those, and there is a really good reason (more than one, really): Visually disabled people can use that to "see" the image. I am not sure exactly how that works (other than they read or listen to the text), but that is what I heard.

    It also helps the search engines know what the image is about.

  5. Oh, OK! I just found it amusing that they were so generic, as people usually write things like, "My lovely wife holding our adorable daughter"! ;-)
