Kyla says 'da-da'. Or something to that effect anyway.

Babes made many attempts to capture KRW speaking on film yesterday, and she eventually succeeded somewhat. Right at the end of this footage, you'll hear a little gem...

A lovely day for a picnic

We took advantage of the lovely weather today to take KRW for an outing to the Fairfield Boathouse. It helped that the footy Grand Final was on, and a park that would usually have been chockers on a day like this was fairly quiet. As you can see, Kyla Rose enjoyed herself!

A bit of news: the sequel.

Hot on the heels of KRW's first 'words' is her first tooth! The telltale sounds of something hard in her mouth hitting the cup she was drinking from was a dead giveaway. So Babes stuck a finger in Kyla's mouth and there it was. Which hopefully explains the little girl's abysmal appetite...

Pictures from Patsze's camera

A big thank you to Patsze (who's one of KRW's three godmums) for spending last week with us here in Melbourne, and being such a great help in spending time with her and helping to look after her. We had a great time, and KRW and Pats bonded really well. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any pictures of the two of them together. (Guess you'll have to come back and see us again soon then, Patsze!)

No, there's no connection between Kyla Rose and the 'Wine by the glass' board behind her.

Kyla Rose enjoys spending time in the playground. She might not look like she does, but trust me she does.

More holiday pictures unearthed

Not quite unearthed lah. More like I forgot I had taken some with my other camera. Here are Babes and Kyla Rose with Sue and Charlotte in Singapore:

Kyla Rose with Gregory and Zerlina's three little girls. Recognise her?

And Kyla Rose on our hotel bed (which she took over) in Chiang Mai, looking absolutely adorable.

A bit of news

Sorry everyone, we haven't really taken any new photos in the last few days. There's something to report, however. Kyla Rose Wong said her first word. And guess what it was?
'Alfalfa.'
Well, maybe not quite 'alfalfa' but something that sounded like it anyway. That's since evolved to something that sounds like 'papa' but has more of a rapid-fire 'pa-pa-pa-pa' to it. But I'm now teaching her to say 'sustainability'. Stay tuned...

The great imitator

Babes has taken great delight in teaching KRW a new 'move'. I think the next step should then be to teach her how to nod...
Meanwhile, our little girl put on 280g in the last two weeks. Woohoo!

More pictures of Kyla Rose

We've been rather slack with the blog in the last couple of weeks, due to work, house-hunting and all kinds of other things. For now, here are some random pictures of the lovely KRW. She's still rather underweight (in some cases, she's still wearing size 000!), but has been eating a bit more in recent days. Let's hope she keeps growing... otherwise how to be Wimbledon champion lah?
