Our first big trip!

We flew to California to visit relatives. Many thanks to Aunt Sandy and Uncle Jim who hosted us and likely had some sleepless nights.

Nonetheless, Jia really enjoyed meeting everyone. She was especially funny with my aunt and uncle's dog, Tina. Tina is toddler-aged in dog years and they were truly about at the same level. They had a lively relationship where they were always keeping watch on the other one, gleefully chasing each other around, sharing toys only occasionally and exciting each other greatly!

Jia had her first trip to the beach. At first, she absolutely refused to put her feet in the sand. Every time I tried to put her down she curled her legs up under her like a little crab. She really wanted to touch it and the water so I ended up holding her upside down so she could reach it with her hands. She eventually got used to it and had a great time.

Here are photos from the beach...

Notice how she is keeping her feet off the sand!

Enjoying the sand a little more.


So proud of herself for standing tall on the sand!

Mugging for the camera...

After a while, she really did not want to leave!

LOVE these pictures. I am a beach girl myself. Annslee didn't like the sand last year but loved the water.
