Sophia: First Birthday

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.

1st Christmas

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.
