s-a-t-u-r-d-a-y

Today we went to dim sum and the girls got a lot of attention from the staff at New Hong Kong Seafood restaurant in Hayward. Sophie kept smiling and waving to one of the waitresses. Soph Soph and Hann got plastic spoons to play with (thanks staff!) and the staff wanted to get them some food they could eat, but we said that was ok. Hann and Soph got to eat part of Mommy's shrimp and bread of the baked char siu bau and some beef ball (which Daddy ordered). Don't worry they ate healthy baby food squash shortly after :P

After lunch we went to the Oakland zoo, but Mommy forgot the camera, so there wasn't any pics this time. She was nice enough to get us some stuffed animals though! Sophie really liked the meerkat stuffed animal and Mommy picked a leopard out for Hann. As you can see from the pics they both loved their buddies.

Later the girls took a nice nap and we headed over to our neighbor's house for a child's birthday party. It was quite a day, but it didn't end there Sophie showed off tonight by standing on her own for a few seconds!!! I think it's any day now that she will be walking. Hann is still making no advances on mobility, but she copies me. She claps when I clap, shakes her hands when I do them, etc. Hann is quite amazing when learning which stumps me on why she doesn't move. Soph on the other hand is advancing like crazy cruising around everywhere and her physical know how is amazing. Physically she is strong in her legs, arms, and hands , watch out for those pinches they are a doosie. She also has 5 teeth that has come through. Sophie also has become a little attached to me and calls out "mama" and cries if I leave the room which is flattering, but I hope it's just a phase.

With all these new developments I can see that just months after our last trip home, this plane ride will be a very interesting 5 hr ride.

Oh oh everyone likes the meerkat!

Sophie in her fabulous t-shirt that Auntie Neren got her (thank you Neren!!!) while Hannah looks on.


Maybe we hung out with the animals too long; Sophie plays the bongo on Hannah.
