Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific

August 22, 2010 – 10:27 pm

Today was our 2nd attempt at going to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. The Chan-Clan were all  in bed together early Saturday morning and Sophia refused to give her daddy a kiss. So I did what did I do? I bribed her. I told her that we’ll go to the Aquarium and she more than happy to give daddy little kisses. Why was it our 2nd attempt? There were 3 conventions happening in Long Beach, in addition to the Red Bull Flugtag event yesterday. We sat in traffic and managed to go 2 blocks in one hour. Needless to say, Sophia and everyone else was restless so we headed back home.

Sophia was so excited to pet the rays.

Sophia kept saying “wow”.

My favorite photograph of the day.

Sophia: First Birthday

May 15, 2010 – 12:37 am

Sophia turned one at 8:40 pm today. She’ll celebrate her first birthday tomorrow with a small group of family and friends. Below are the first photographs of my one year old daughter.

It’s difficult to believe how fast the days have passed. Just one year ago, I was anxiously standing in the hallway immediately outside the OR. The Doctor said he would call for me when Sophia is born. I heard a cry and then another and rushed in to see the nurses cleaning my daughter. I checked to make sure Cindy was okay then returned to take the very first photographs of Sophia barely minutes old.  Sophia is now one. She can stand and take small steps. She has a small set of vocabulary and can say mamma, grandma, bird,  flower,  food, and a few others in Chinese. She comprehends a lot more than she can vocalize at the moment. She even clenches both her fists and throws a tantrum! My, how time flies.

Sophia: Baby Hello Kitty sunglasses

I spent the most of the day processing photographs and stumbled upon some images I captured of Sophia from 2 weeks ago. Grandma and Mommy had some fun with Sophia.
