1 Year 9 Months 1 Week

Hannah is fast approaching her second birthday already! Just scary how time passes so quickly for our little one. She’s solidly starting her ‘terrible two’ phase, and while she’s not yet of the age to challenge her parents, signs of impending showdowns are starting to appear. E.g. like that she’ll want to situate herself between the both of us when we have dinner and making it impossible for Ling to eat, or when we’re busy to play with her she’ll whine.

Still, we’re still glad that much more often than not, she’s still very well-behaved and relatively easy to please or pacify. Whenever she goes on a cry fest, one trick that always works is to tell her we’ll read to her. She’ll immediately stop crying/pouting/whining, run to her play corner and pick up a book, and bring it back to us.

Ok – pictures!
