yogahh · January 2016

Since I work a lot with Asian offices, they always send us "fortune" books for the new year. Here are the life fortunes for our lil "monkeys" along with naming tips.

Ugh, I forgot it was the year of the monkey. My ILs are Chinese, and MIL is really into this stuff. I don't like monkeys, which sucks because I'm going to end up with a lot of monkey figurines!!!!!

LOL that's the worst part. DD was a snake, so I already have the damn crystal snakes sitting on my mantle!

"The Monkey's Traits: Sharp, Smart...

People born in a year of the Monkey are witty, intelligent, and have a magnetic personality. Personality traits, like mischievousness, curiosity, and cleverness, make them very naughty. Monkeys are masters of practical jokes, because they like playing most of the time. Though they don't have any bad intentions, their pranks sometimes hurt the feelings of others. Monkeys are fast learners and crafty opportunists.

They have many interests and need partners who are capable of stimulating them. While some like the eccentric nature of Monkeys, some don't trust their sly, restless, and inquisitive nature. Although they are clever and creative, monkeys can't always exhibit their talent properly. Monkeys like to take challenges and they prefer urban life to rural."

I like it!!

Sounds like a good year! DD#1 and I were both born in the year of the pig and she's soooooo much like me. It will be interesting to see if DD#2 will take after the traits associated with the year of the monkey.

monkeys creep me out bad, but there is nothing worse than a snake.

"They should go by names of Metal or Water nature."

Guess I need to change my baby's name to Slayer

baby-2-due · January 2016

I didn't know this, but my nursery is a jungle theme with girl monkies! I found an adorable bed set with monkies and giraffes in pink bows and I'm having my sister do a tree of life mural

what a coincidence

Merciel · January 2016

My mom is Asian and she was SO HAPPY when I got knocked up with a due date in a Monkey year. Apparently it's one of the best signs you can be born under.

She made me baby blankets with monkey patterns and a nursing wrap with a monkey pattern and oh god I am going to have so much monkey gear by May.

(seriously though the blankets and wrap are adorable, I love my mom

)

tgortney · January 2016

I am Asian and my parents were super happy that our son is being born into the year of the monkey. They're known as smart

but yes, I'm already getting monkey figurines too LOL

Plus, DH's nickname from his dad was monkey because his dad thought he was born in the year of the monkey (he's really a sheep). So DH is really glad his son is going to be....we have lots of monkies on the clothes because of DH lol.

My husband recently informed me the baby would be born in the year of the red monkey. My son and I were both born in May and during rooster years.

doozer1345 · January 2016

We are all different in my house. DH was born in the year of the Horse which makes me side eye him, DD is a (water) snake, I'm an ox, and DD2 is a monkey. At least DD1 and I are compatible

I second the ugh. Step-MIL is Chinese. We will also probably have monkey all over the place. Why couldn't it be the year of something less cutesy? (Of course, DS is a snake baby and that didn't stop her from giving us a creepy snake statue...)

salbb · January 2016

Oh no! I am a snake and app not compatible with my monkey baby... Luckily my rat husband is... Gutted!!!!

Kurrant · January 2016

Im also a Monkey . . . The bad part? Your year is bad luck to you. So basically I am warned to watch out for my health and other various things this year. Apparently I must wear a red item or an item with Jade that is purchased for me to ward off the bad juju from Tai Sui. I'm actually quite happy to have a monkey baby though

angc4 · January 2016

Love all of this, I didn't realize it was a monkey year til I saw it on a gift card at Starbucks lol!

How do you know compatibility? I'm a rabbit. I think DH is a boar.

salbb · January 2016

@angc4 I just did a Google search really something lame like snake mother monkey baby compatibility!!!
The website had lots of charts but was a basic count from you to the fifth animal if compatible and to the fourth for not.
So you only have a chance of two not being compatible! As I said luckily hubby is good so could be worse!

This helps: "Essentially, the compatibility of a family can be as greatly influenced by its astrological makeup as by its learned behaviors and responses. For this reason, it is vital for every zodiac animal to work toward achieving his personal balance, which, in turn, will ultimately affect the balance of his family and community."

Husband now told me to stop reading about it!! Haha, I do tend to take things a bit far :-)

laurenmdrn16 · January 2016

This is super interesting! From those place-mats at the local Chinese food restaurant (so authentic, I know!) we always assumed that MH was a snake and I was a dragon. However, since MH was born in early February, he is actually a dragon as well!

Basically our family is as follows (and please correct me if I am wrong...just learning, but find it really cool!)
MH - Yang Fire Dragon
Me - Yang Earth Dragon
My son - Yin Water Snake
Baby girl - Yang Fire Monkey

Now to find out what that means for compatibility!

saraleigh2 · January 2016

Thanks for sharing-so fun!!

caterin · January 2016

Already loving my chunky monkey! I read that the monkey is looking up to the dragon, my husband. But not the tiger (me), he thinks he's smarter. I can already see my son rolling his eyes at mum!
