happy 5 months sofia!

Yes, five months have already passed. It's amazing. Everyday is such a blessing. To have you, Sofia, in our lives. You're healthy, happy and beautiful.  We couldn't have asked for anything more.  Mommy wishes that you grow up and become a beautiful person, both inside and out.  There is the list! you know. :)

This morning we went to go get your hk passport.  It'll be ready by the time we get back from the states! I'm surprised it takes longer than the USA one, considering hk is usually more efficient, but regardless, i'm glad that you'll have both.  we then went to have lunch (mommy/daddy) at 360 in landmark- it's a hidden gem! Burritos! :)  Yum.  We then dropped daddy off at work and came home.  Mommy was SO very tired though since last night you woke up quite a bit, so didn't let mommy sleep much.  I haven't been that exhausted in a long time. .. but luckily we took a nap or two plus a dr.pepper for some caffiene to help get me thru the day! But yes, 5 months! Unfortunately mommy forgot to take some photos of you, so we'll have to do that tomorrow! cannot forget.

We did though, take a walk, and mommy used the moby wrap (since we had to run some errands), and you sat kangaroo style. so cute. :)  you are such a doll sofia. so fun. but we came home afterwards and just hung out a bit and you took another nap till almost 730pm.

Nothing much else special, just the normal. Hopefully though you sleep better tonight. :) (daddy went out)

But I just wanted to let you know, how grateful I am... that you're such a healthy and happy baby sofia... though you might not look 5 months; you look older everyone says (b/c you're so tall!), mommy is so absolutely grateful that you're strong and healthy.  Mommy's friend Angie's niece was born only at 25 weeks and she's very tiny and not all developed.  Life is so fragile... and it's so important to treat our bodies right and to take care of ourselves and each other... so I hope little Grace is okay. I hope she stays strong, as strong as she can, and if she is in pain that it goes away quickly... she's so precious, as is every little baby... so we pray that she's okay and can make it through safely and grow stronger and healthier each minute, each day...

it makes mommy reflect how lucky we are... remember to say thank you for life everyday little girl... say thank you for each breath, the earth, the beauty of nature, of family, friends and love.

biggest hugs and kisses.
love mommy and daddy

Please pass the peas.

Today mommy tried a new food for you Sofia! Green Peas! Unfortunately we had to buy the frozen birds eye peas but they're yummy nonetheless! It's a bit difficult to mash them in the Vitamix, the blades are too high, but after adding some water, it turned out a bit better.  And, as expected, you ate them up! yummy!  I suspect there won't be many foods you don't like, really. :p  Ahhh my little girl. 

This morning we actually saw Auntie Tina (huang), which was nice too, she gave you a summer hat and bib. Too cute.  I haven't seen her in about 4 years now! It's pretty amazing how quickly the time does fly by. And though we weren't able to really catch up, it's nice to see a friendly face from the past. :) 

Only a few more weeks till our big trip!! 

Soooo exciting! I hope you do well travelling little munchkin so we can take you to more places! 

xoxo

love mommy
