6 months.

Happy half a year Sofia!! So quick, the 6 months have passed.

We're back in HK now, you did amazingly on the flights back!! Mommy gives you an A++.  The flight from NJ to SF luckily grandpa came with us even though we got to sit in business and grandpa got an exit row.  But yes, good thing grandpa came because he helped us with the luggage in between the terminals... don't know how we would've managed if he weren't there!! So that was really helpful. :)  You slept on the flight though- for about 3 of the 4.4 hrs, then were up the last two.  it was okay, you didn't really cry either and were smiling at the person who sat next to us.  Unfortunately though grandma decided to feed you some new food that morning- polenta "congee" with beef feet stock... hmm. probably not the best idea before our long flight. because on the flight to sf, you had a massive messy up the back poop... no fun.. for mommy! but it's okay... :)  you had fun eating it when it was being fed to you that morning. :p  i will make you the polenta again, but maybe not the beef feet stock yet.  I think we will try with the brown rice congee this week.  

Anyhow, we got to SFO and you were awake; we ate dinner with grandpa and then checked in for our flight.  we went thru the gate and grandpa went to get his rental car/ and go to his hotel for his mtg in sf in the morning. :)     we were very tired though... since we weren't taking off till 1:20am (420am est).   We hung out in the lounge for a bit... and at 12:30 boarded.  We both passed out right after the plane took off (though you might have passed out first) and slept for about 6-7 hrs.  Then you woke up for about 3 hrs (including massive poop #2, on the verge of diarrhea), and then went back to sleep with 3 hrs remaining in the flight.  So Guai!! Mommy even gave you a few bits of strawberries to taste, of course you liked them. :) Mommy was able to eat breakfast and watch "up in the air" too before landing.  You woke up by 630, after we had gone thru security and gotten our luggage, when daddy, grandma and grandpa wong picked us up.

Boy is the weather hot and humid in hk!! We slept most of the day Friday and even Saturday too... Today is Sunday, and we're a little better, woke up at 7am and you didn't take a nap till about 3pm, so hopefully your schedule will be back to normal by tomorrow if not tuesday. :)  But all in all, after 6 flights, across the US on your first tour, you did incredible little girl!!

Of course it's good to be home, but at the same time we will miss the states... those trips are never long enough.  But actually grandma and grandpa tsang will be back in late june/july to visit you again!

What a fun trip though... full of family and friends... you see what's important, family, friends, love... though nothing is ever perfect, sometimes it can come really close, or rather there can be perfect moments in our unperfect lives.   <3

love always, mommy and daddy
