Solids!

Bubs and Babes are very pleased to report that the lovely Kyla Rose has taken to rice cereal with gusto! She just can't get enough of it, and this evening was even grabbing the spoon in sheer anticipation... rest assured Babes will be trying lots of other types of solid food in the days to come. How about Char Kuay Teow puree?

KRW in prison

Kyla's mum took that first shot of her, doesn't the poor lil' girl look like she's been locked up? And in that second shot, you can see we're still getting pretty good mileage from that playmat. Although Babes wasn't too happy that I photographed Kyla in her PJs and Grobag. And finally, there's Aunty/Godma Manda with Kyla this morning.

KRW's lovely mum went nuts with the camera today, and here are the results. Doesn't our little girl look adorable, especially in the little beanie? We'll post even more shots in the next couple of days.

Thank you Babes, from the rest of your family!

Once again, Happy Mother's Day darling, hope you had a great day... love you! And thanks to Uncle Jag plus Aunties Mars and Manda for joining us for Mother's Day lunch...

Babes' first Mother's Day!

First of all, Happy Mother's Day to our mums. Thank you for everything you've done for Babes and I. And now, the rest of this post is dedicated to my darling wife. Thank you for your love, thank you for your strength and thank you for your patience in looking after our dear Kyla Rose. You've done an amazing job with her, and I love you very, very much. Have a wonderful first Mother's Day! (These pictures are from our wedding registration, about two minutes after KRW was born, and a couple of days ago respectively.)

Mums' Group

This is my mothers' group. All 8 mums meet weekly over a lovely lunch either in a cafe/pub (somewhere large enough to accommodate all the prams) or one of the mum's homes. On the first Thursday of each month, we also meet for a mums' (without bubs!) night at a restaurant for dinner. There's lots of eating and needless to say, lots of baby talk! We have only just established a babysitter's club where the mums take turns to look after each other's babies to allow the parents time to go on a 'date' once a month. We have booked in our romantic dinner for 31 May, venue to be determined. Hope Kyla behaves...

Mobile pictures of KRW

These were taken over the last few weeks with my Sony Ericsson mobile phone. It comes in handy when I don't have a camera in my hand. Which is most of the time!

More random shots of Kyla Rose

More pictures taken by KRW's gorgeous Mum, the first while our little baby was blissfully asleep. In other news, Kyla seems to have started taking expressed milk from the bottle again, a couple of months after adamantly refusing it. We hope she continues bottle feeding so that Babes can have a break from being The Only One Who Can Feed Her. We tried Bellamy's Organic Formula too, but that's still a no-can-do. Oh well...
