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!!!

Growing up Fast!

Over the last few days, Lyla Sofia has taught herself to use a spoon.

She's even getting the hang of dipping it into the pot!










Of course it will take a while to perfect this new skill ...

And who's to say that you have to use a spoon all the time?

Retrospective - 6 months old

I have been SO BUSY recently and haven't
taken any photos of my precious princess for ages.

With that in mind I thought a little retrospective was in order ...

When Lyla was 6 months old, we had some professional photos taken.

This is our favourite photo.
It hangs proudly above our bed - POSTER sized!

Look at Dadda's glow ... and Lyla's tiny little feet!

And a rare photo of Mother and Daughter.
It's tough when you're always the one behind the camera!

Flowers for You

Lyla now spends most of her waking hours in our little back yard.
The other day she came back in to the house and presented me with two flowers that she had picked all by herself.

Aww .... TOO CUTE!

Nectarine Post Modernism

Lyla has been somewhat picky with her food recently,
but I unexpectedly came accross a winner the today.





Well of course! Nectarines are my favourite fruit, so it should come as no surprise that my daughter is addicted to them too!





Look at that JUICY belly!









Being a first time Mum there are obviously many things that you only learn through experience ...

Like not expecting an 11 month old with free will and mobility to sit still
on a bath towel whilst covered in nectarine.


Thank you for your beautiful nectarine artwork
all over our glass doors Lyla Sofia!

Love At First Sight

Diesel's patience with his "baby sister" continues to amaze us.
He and Lyla actually have quite a special relationship.
No surprise really, considering he literally watched her - through the loungeroom window -
being born.

This was their first official meeting, the day Lyla came home
from the hospital - 3 days old.
I'm not sure that it was exactly love at first sight . . . but as you can see . . .



. . . it seems to be love now :)
