Faster than a speeding bullet

Kyla Rose loves hangin' out on the couch, throwing herself across it every chance she gets. Here she is, caught in mid-action!

What big teeth I have!

And aren't I just the cutest thing? (Note by Bubs: can't remember what she had to eat that day, but it must've been really yummy)

Getting Kyla to sleep

It looks like KRW is picking up one of Gregory Lim's traits: the 'I don't want to sleep' attitude. Here she is, ready for bed...

She's tired...

But no way is she giving in without a fight! The cot is empty because she's thrown everything out...

Yummy food for Kyla... and Bubs?

Babes sent me out one evening with instructions to get KRW some bottled food. The brief? 'Get her something you yourself would eat.' So imagine my sheer delight when I found this at Woolworth's... looks like the sky's the limit! They'll be selling Char Kuay Teow-flavoured baby food next!

KRW - more pictures

Once again, apologies for the lack of posts. The last few weeks have been absolutely crazy, work-wise. Here are a few more shots to share, especially for Kyla's Aunty Manda who's in Singapore for a couple of months...

Our daughter, the Coke addict

I like the occasional ice-cold glass of Coca-Cola, but lil' Kyla Rose has gone and finished a whole bottle! Just look at the guilt on her face. Of course, she refused to touch the Pepsi...

Random pix, in between being really busy with work and family.

The Misadventures of Kyla Rose

Based on photographic evidence, it seems our little girl has learnt the power of money. And in the next picture, unfortunately what she HASN'T learnt is how to be more ladylike...

KRW - random pix

Profound apologies for the 'intermittent' nature of my posts. I blame this on an exhausting combination of Chinese New Year festivities, demanding clients and general stress and fatigue. Anyway, here are some recent pictures of our lovely little girl.

In another lovely outfit.

Our little girl loves pulling both Bubs and Babes' glasses off.

Kyla's first birthday - more pictures

Like father, like daughter (again)

Kyla Rose is once again demonstrating a liking for the same type of food as her dad. We had roti (with butter chicken, but that's not relevant to this post) for dinner tonight, and little KRW had about one-third of a roti. Which is a lot for a one-year old girl, and more importantly, is A HUGE AMOUNT for Kyla Rose Wong. That's my girl!

KRW's new favourite toy

Kyla's current favourite toy (as of a few weeks ago) is not a Fisher-Price or a Playskool or anything from Toys R' Us. It's an Angeline Ting creation, fashioned intriguingly and irresistibly from a Qantas water bottle, a Gap label and a... clothespeg. You can rattle it, spin it, turn it upside down, the possibilities are endless. And yes, we're looking into the marketing and distribution of it.

KRW's first trip to Phillip Island

No, we didn't see the penguins. Every time Phillip Island is mentioned, I get asked if we went to see the penguins. For some reason, these lil' creatures aren't very high on my list of things to see. Maybe when Kyla's a bit older...
Anyway, we rented a lovely townhouse for a week from Christmas Day to New Year's Day, and had people coming in and out throughout the week. But this post is reserved for random shots of KRW on the trip:

Christmas Eve at the Wongs

We hosted a Christmas dinner at our new home, with an assortment of roasts (lamb/chicken/turkey) and various other delights. And yes, Kyla Rose had her fair share of Chrissy yummies. Which we're sure had nothing to do with the fact that she woke up sick on Christmas morning...

KRW at Marlene's 30th birthday

Just some random shots of our little girl at Marlene's birthday bash. Of course, Kyla's wearing a lovely outfit given to her by the birthday girl

Kyla's first birthday presents

Kyla Rose Wong is a very lucky girl indeed, judging by the number of presents she got for her first birthday. An extremely huge THANK YOU to everyone who blessed our little girl with a birthday gift. Please also rest assured that all monetary contributions have gone straight into the KRW scholarship fund.

Kyla's first birthday

KRW celebrated her first birthday at a park/playground around the corner from our new Mount Waverley home. Bubs and Babes are actually waiting for pictures from Attila and Amanda's cameras as the proud parents of the birthday girl were too busy mingling and making sure adults and kids alike were comfy and well-fed. Until we get better pictures, here are a few samples.

Inculcating reading habits

At Bubs & Babes Inc, we encourage our offspring to pursue a healthy interest in literature. No expense is spared to acquire the finest reading materials. So it is indeed heartening to see Kyla Rose Wong displaying such unrestrained joy with a book in her hands. Even if it is occasionally upside down.

Cousins in the bath

Des, Su and Charlotte were in town for a wedding, and they were our first guests at our new home. And speaking of our new home, please excuse the reduced frequency of blog posts, we've been busy with work issues, moving etc. You have NO IDEA how much stuff we've managed to accumulate, but at least it's done now. We'll post pictures of our Mount Waverley residence before too long. Oh, KRW's the one on the right, just in case you were wondering...
