Where did the time go?

My kids are growing up so fast.  I can't even seem to keep up with photos of them each month.  

Bubbles is already 15 months old, imitating animal sounds, giving up baby words, exchanging them for big kid words ("milk milk" instead of "nen nen"), talking to us with actions, words and his eyes.  He can walk, but refuses to, he crawls at super speeds and climbs like a champ!  

Missy is almost 5.  She carries on entire conversations on the phone with Papa, Ah Mah, anyone who will chat with her.  She reads Mandarin (WOO HOO!!) now and has even figured out some complicated words.  It's been a long journey, but it seems to have clicked in her head and she's deciphering chinese words everywhere, even the subtitles when watching TV programmes! She's not quite reading English yet but is now applying her deciphering of Chinese skills to English reading?!  She has really lost all her "babyness" and has become a big girl... Where did the first 5 years go???

Here are recent pictures of the kids from Jill's wedding last weekend (C & A, Papa & N).
