Baby Sofia is collecting milestones—and adorable photos—at a pretty impressive pace!

Last week, Alex Drummond shared that she and Mauricio were taking Sofia on her very first beach trip to Cinnamon Shore. A few days later, she posted some highlights from the weekend, and one picture in particular stole her heart. Alex called it her "new favorite photo to ever exist," and once you see it, you'll know exactly why.

The photo shows Sofia soaking up some sunshine in a ruffled floral romper and matching sunhat, with one tiny fist raised and a look on her face like she's taking the whole beach experience very seriously. Between the outfit, the cheeks, and the little hand pose, it's about as sweet as it gets.

"Beach + besties + babies! Doesn't get much better 🥲," Alex had captioned her full photo roundup. And it's easy to see the joy in every shot! Sofia spent her weekend surrounded by friends (both big and little), from stroller rides under the palm trees to pool time with her mom, all while rocking a series of picture-perfect outfits—including the cutest flower-shaped sunglasses you've ever seen. The trip even included a birthday party for one of Sofia's buddies, complete with hats, balloons, and lots of happy babies.

Judging by these photos, Sofia's first seaside adventure was a big success. And if this latest photo is any clue, it's just the beginning of many more sweet summer activities to come!
