Incredibly; more than 3 months have whizzed past since I last did a photo post on our two kids!<\/p>\n

Hannah has been growing both in understanding the world around her and also in her sense of independence and decision-making. We’ve successfully taught her to shower on her own now since last month\/year, though she still needs the occasional help bringing down the showerhead from its holder, or hanging up her wet towel in the yard. She also can easily find things on her own to entertain herself with, and – nicely too and something we observed from young about her – isn’t obsessed with TV or electronic gadgets. She’ll, very occasionally, ask if she can watch TV for instance (her current favorite are Tom & Jerry cartoons, no doubt a consequence of having watched tons of it over Cartoon Network while in Koh Phangan) or play her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse games on the iPad, but doesn’t mind if she can’t.<\/p>\n

Peter on the other is quickly turning into more than four handfuls. At his age of 19 months now, we’ve concluded that the amount of care and labor that goes into managing him has long surpassed what Hannah required at the same age and even younger. Peter is a fussy eater (vomits food that he doesn’t like), doesn’t easily go to bed for naps or overnight, and gets into baby tantrums at the slightest unhappiness. Ling in fact quipped yesterday that the effort to take care Peter is easily twice that of Hanny.<\/span><\/span> The difference between baby girls and baby boys – until this point we’d never realized how true such differences can be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Very inquisitive. Anything within his arm radius is likely to go missing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Kids
Kids at home on weekends. The two of them play a lot together, though Peter often seems contend to follow his sister’s lead.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Hannah
Hannah loves to look good and dress up whenever we head out – even if it’s just for casual breakfast at a coffee shop!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Playing
