Red Egg & Ginger Party


Yesterday, we celebrated Sarah's 100-day birthday with a Red Egg & Ginger party at Kome Sushi Buffet in Daly City. Traditionally, the celebration happens at the baby's 1 month mark (known as "Full Month" in Chinese). But in the Bay Area, most parents choose to celebrate the occasion around 3 months. This is preferred because at 3 months, the baby is more awake and less "fragile." And Mommy feels more energized too!

We had about 70 guests and the party lasted from 1:30 to 4:00. Hoped everyone enjoyed themselves, because we surely did! It was so nice to catch up with friends and family. Sarah slept about half way through the party but fortunately did wake up in time for a few photos.

Here is a photo of Sarah and her friends, Chloe and Sheldon. Sarah is blowing bubbles and Chloe & Sheldon probably thought it was gum and wanted some. LOL


Thank you all for sharing this special day with us and for all your wonderful gifts and blessings!

That's the most complete explanation I've seen about the 1 month vs. 100 days scheduling? Is there a greater cultural reason for picking one versus the other? Or does it really just come down to letting both mom and baby get a bit stronger, get the through the first round of shots, etc?
