Kyla Isabella

We had a random box that was taking up space in the storeroom.  So as the typical “parent talk” goes (I buy my kids stuff and they end up playing…

The moment you mention the word “park” in our house (or especially Ga’s house), it will be instantaneously followed with Kyla jumping up to get her jacket and hat – no matter…

So this post is almost a whole year delayed, mostly due to the arrival of Riya and all my spare time evaporating.  But I thought with Kyla’s 2nd birthday imminent,…

“Spontaneous” is not a word that is used to describe me, although looking at it now and saying it over and over in my head makes me wonder if it’s a…

This is part 2 of the letter that I started writing to Kyla… You were due to arrive on 12 July 2009, but you decided that you preferred it in…

It was inevitable, one day my young, gorgeous hunk would get old…  Yes, the downward spiral occurs just after your 25th birthday.  Everyday thereafter you are in your LATE 20’s…

Kyla is often really funny to watch when she is just playing by herself.  This is one of those moments.  She was playing Peek A Boo with us with her…

Time really does fly and I don’t want to miss a bit of it – the main reason we started this blog…  So although I haven’t done previous months, this…

Aunty Mia and Aunty Romy went to Thailand last year and came back with gorgeous presents for Kyla.  Finally she is able to fit into it and seeing as Aunty…

Yes, it’s gone!  But then it comes back, and then it’s gone and then it comes back!  Kyla is a budding Magician!  About 2 or 3 months ago she started…

I don’t understand it.  I just don’t.  Why would anyone hate to sleep so much?  I love sleep, I think I could sleep forever – before I had kiddies I…

Although I had been through this once before, I was not as prepared for this as I thought I was. Both experiences have been very different, and what I had not learnt with Kyla, I am learning now. And in some cases I am re-learning things again. From my experience there are a few things that have helped and things that I have needed (writing this more so that I can look at it for the next baby – but if it helps anyone else then that’s great. It is very open, so if there are any dudes reading this you might want to stop now, as there are probably things that you never wanted to know that you would rather find out when you go through this with your wife)…

It has been a long time coming, but after many attempts Kyla is successfully standing up without leaning on anything to do so. It is so amazing to watch my…

If you got it flaunt it baby! Kyla was blessed (not bless) with lots of hair from birth, this is a tribute to its HAIR-mazingness, hope you don’t think it’s…

Yes, I know I have stolen the title from Trevor Noah’s comedy show, but that’s how I role.  Seth also just reminded me that this is what they call Blade!…
