The day of Haruki's miyamairi, Hashirama and Madara dressed up in their formal wears before fussing and cooing dressing their baby Queen in a soft pale green dress. She was so cute in her dress, with her matching socks and small hat, and she threw up on Madara's shirt, so that he was forced to change into a clean one, right before leaving the house. At that point, Madara decided that he would be the one carrying her baby bag and all her stuff.
They met their friends and family in front of the shrine and every single one of them tried to hold her, much to her joy, at least once before the ceremony.
In the shrine, during the ceremony, she couldn't stop giggling and gurgling excitedly, waving her small chubby limbs around from her position in the carrier across Hashirama's chest and Hashirama spent most of the time cooing softly in her ear to calm her down.
She fell asleep, too tired from the day's excitement, right when it was time to take some photos but Madara held her all the same, standing at Hashirama's side. When she woke up Madara gave her the bottle and she threw up once more on his shirt. Hashirama grinned and laughed, delighted in his daughter's antics.

Hey there!
A tiny bit of info!
Miyamairi (宮参り, literally "shrine visit") is a traditional Shinto rite of passage in Japan for newborns. Approximately one month after birth (31 days for boys and 33 days for girls), parents and grandparents bring the child to a Shinto shrine, to express gratitude to the deities for the birth of a baby and have a shrine priest pray for his or her health and happiness. The practice is similar to a Christian infant baptism.
Today, most Miyamairi are practiced between one month and 100 days after birth. A Shinto priest wearing a costume and headgear appears between the group and the altar, reciting a prayer and swinging a tamagushi right and left. During the prayer, the priest cites the name of the baby, the names of the parents, the family's address, and the baby's birthday. Afterwards, the parents and grandparents come forward one by one, bow to the altar, and place tamagushis upon it.
At the end of the ceremony, sake in a red wooden cup is given to each person in attendance; small gifts are often given to the family.
