Little Squeaker a.k.a. Jade

After months of being asked “Do you have a name yet?”, culminating in some intense cajoling from eager family and friends in the last month, we finally got off our arses and made a decision!

I had gotten used to using all sorts of pet names in lieu of a proper name and that is probably going to be a hard habit to break.  So our Baby Girl, Little Squeaker, Pumpkin, Sweetie, Little Munchkin, Cheeky Monkey, Rainbow, Snorkler, Little Piggy shall henceforth be called:

Jade Arwyn Meiyu Rann

 

Of the long list of names we had, we narrowed it down to a few favourites and Jade seemed to suit our little lady the most.  Arwyn is a nod to Gideon’s Welsh heritage.  Meiyu is her Chinese name, and literally means beautiful jade.

Other than that, not much other news to report.  Time is going fast, and Jade is nearly a month old already.  Every day she seems to have grown and even her looks have changed slightly as her face fills out a little. 

Here are some shots from playtime.
