Halloween: Supergirl and Burger

HenryC — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 09:24:32 +0000

Mason looks pretty happy wearing his first Halloween costume. It’s difficult to discern, but he’s suppose to a hamburger – you can see his bun with the sesame seeds This burger comes with extra drool, folks. Supergirl there is actually our mild-mannered daughter in disguise.

Anyone in need of saving? Supergirl is ready to take flight ! Don’t expect much ’cause Sophia can only jump a few inches off the ground at the moment.

Halloween Carving

Sophia had a great time helping Mommy with the pumpkins this afternoon. She was hesitant reaching into the pumpkin at first – claiming that it “smelled”. But after a little coaxing, she was up to her elbows with pumpkin innards. She went after her little pumpkin after cleaning out the larger one.

Our accent wall color happens to be called pumpkin.

I’m not sure who purchased the clip, but isn’t it adorable?

Mason: 6 months baby session

Mason turned 6 months old earlier this Month so the Chan-Clan headed out to The Huntington Library for a family photo session. Going to the Library has become a tradition now since we also went there when Sophia turned 6 months old.

Baby Photography: Hanna’s 1st Birthday

HenryC — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 06:55:07 +0000

Hanna’s first birthday is coming up and her parents wanted to string together photographs of her with clothespins and ribbons to use as an art piece for her birthday party.

How adorable does Hanna look in her outfits?

Cute pose! Hanna actually doesn’t like hats too much. I captured the photograph below as she reached up to pull off the hat.

Hanna loves bananas!

Yup, that’s Sophia on the right.

My little angel is as devious as she looks below.

Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific

HenryC — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 05:27:12 +0000

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

HenryC — Sat, 15 May 2010 07:37:37 +0000

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.

Sophia

Here are two quick photographs I captured of Sophia earlier this Sunday afternoon. Sophia is reaching every baby milestone so far. One of the milestones is grabbing, playing with and switching the toys between her hands. Sophia is quite ambidextrous at the moment. We’re trying to determine which hand she prefers, but all the online info says handiness won’t be evident till around 9 months or so.

1st Christmas

HenryC — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 06:26:09 +0000

Season’s greetings everyone! The Chan clan had our first Christmas tree photo session this year. Sophia and Mommy were very cute. However, all the images where I tried to embed myself into were utter failures. I had to set up the tripod, get into the shot, and hope for the best. Lots of times, Sophia was just looking everywhere except at the camera since there was no one there to grab her attention.

Here’s the tri-fold Christmas card we’re sending out to family and friends. Have a Happy Merry Christmas to all you of from Henry, Cindy and Sophia.

Who needs Mommy? I can feed myself!
