Beach Day

The other week, So and I had a little beach day with our friends Michelle & Tarrin. Sophia had the best time. At first, the sand scared her. But once she got used to it, she was running around. Her favorite thing to do was dunk her face into the ocean...and then shove her fingers in her mouth to lick off the salt. Ew! But at least she didn't eat the sand. I was just waiting for her to put a handful of sand into her mouth, and luckily she never did.

I can't wait to take her back to the beach. Hopefully next time it'll be somewhere prettier than Galveston!

My Girl So

Beyond excited to share So's one year photos taken by our fav Taylor Lord and styled by the amazing Lindsey Zamora. Although Sophia refused to smile or let me leave her side, I love how they turned out. Click here for Taylor's full blog post :)

And just a few updates on my girl So:

• She watches Sound of Music with grandpa on the regular. She sits in her little baby chair and dances to the music.
• She calls most animals ap-ap (duck in Chinese).
• She LOVES other little kids. She wants to run and play with them. But the second she sees an adult she doesn't know, separation anxiety sets in to the max.
• She always sneezes twice. And then grins.
• She is such a happy baby. She runs around squealing, laughing, and clapping.
• She knows that if she sits on the first step of the stairs and puts on her shoes, she gets to go out.
