Manyue jiu, full month party for the new born is a celebration Chinese dotted on their children, well, in lieu of bat or bar mitzvahs, or Sweet 16, etc.  lol…  Some people call it red egg party too.  We had it for Kinglazy in a seafood restaurant and Slowpoke at Grandma’s.  Don’t accuse me of 重男轻女, the though of son is more important than daughter - it’s the fact that people (mostly the older ones) were just more enthusiastic with the first born.  We did go to a restaurant with Slowpoke, but the party is held at Grandma’s.  Anyway, after the party with Kinglazy, I was so tired when I woke up the following morning, suddenly realized I had feed nor changed his diaper.  … holy smoke … I ran into his room.  Thank god he was still sleeping!  From that day on, he started to sleep thro the night.  Slowpoke slept thro the night also after a month.  My poor kids perhaps knew I didn’t have the help of my mom so they all opted to sleep thro the night right away, lol…
