Did I Tell You ... I Can WALK!

So much has been going on recently that I almost forgot to mention
one of the biggest milestones in Lyla's life!


ONE ...


TWO ...


THREE!

The Sweetest Sound

Most people reading this post won't think it very exciting ... but ...

Yesterday was the first day Lyla slept for 2hrs SOLID in the middle of the day.

Believe me ... A BREAKTHROUGH!

Lyla Sofia 5 days old

There is nothing as sweet as the sound of a baby sleeping.

A picnic in the Park

A couple of weeks ago Sarah, Matthew and Felix
were getting ready to go back to Paris :(
To "celebrate" our last days together we had a picnic
with everybody at Rushcutters Bay Park.


Dave did his best to encourage the fashionista in Felix -
a quality already deeply instilled by his parents.

He seemed quite comfortable in Dave's designer Tsubi sunglasses.


Miss Paige was also completely at ease posing for the fashion shoot!


But Luka refused to be photographed at first ... TALK TO MY AGENT!


As always, Lyla's Granma and Nanna were in heaven,
spending a glorious day with their precious Granddaughter.

And Nanna Carol was a huge hit -
the bigger bubs barely giving her a moment to herself :)

Unfortunately the day had to come to an end.
Kisses for Aunty Sarah.
Bye-Bye ...

We'll miss you!

Peas in a Pod

We had a Mothers Group / Birthday Party picnic the other week -
celebrating all the bubs turning one.


Lyla thought Dadda's beer tasted very funny!


But realised how well it went with a salty preztel or three.

When everyone else had gone home, and the sun was beginning to set,
Lyla had a giggle on the swings.


Definitely her favourite piece of equipment in the playground.


And even more fun when you share the ride with Dadda!

And Now it's Mumma's Birthday!

It was a grey old day on the 25th Feb,
but the view from the Hyatt was still beautiful.

Mum, Dad, Dave, Lyla and Nanna Jenny all shouted me
to a scrumptious birthday lunch.


As always, our little socialite had a fabulous afternoon.

Another year older ... Happy Birthday Me!

Lyla's First Birthday Party

Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You!

Lyla's first Birthday party was full of so many generous friends
filling up her day with presents and love.
Nanna Jenny made a gorgeous giant frangipani cup cake for everyone to enjoy.


There were so many presents to open ...


Cards to read ...


And family photos to take :)



Lyla was especially blessed to have her GG (Great Granma)
all the way up from Canberra to share in her day


Lyla was pretty chuffed with her new swimming pool which all the kids enjoyed on this very hot Sunday afternoon.


Our cheeky little monkey had the best day EVER!

Thanks everyone!

Happy Birthday Marley!

Lyla's best friend Marley turned ONE today (10/2/06)

Congratulations Little Guy!


As you can see, Lyla enjoyed her free reign of the party food.


Thanks so much for a great party Alyssa, Tewe and Marley.

Beach Days

Lyla's proven to be a real Bondi Beach Babe.

Meeting up with friends at the North End
is one of her favorite ways to spend an afternoon.


These photos were taken a few days before her first birthday.

Family Photo Oportuntiy!


Now let me back in the water Dadda!

Where Does The Time Go?

Birthday's have come and gone ...
friends have visited from far away places ...
and little people have started walking ...


It's been over a month and we have so much to catch up on.

WAIT 'TIL YOU SEE HOW MUCH I"VE GROWN!!!
