It’s been quite some time since my last post, but much has happened in that time. By far the biggest news is Lilyana is now a year old and walking around, making life a whole lot more difficult for Jennifer and I. Unfortunately, she has inherited our penchant for wanting to examine everything we come across, only to discard once its use has been filled. I swear she moves from one thing to the next so quickly, it’s hard for us to keep up with her. We’re constantly taking stuff off her, only to have her fix her gaze on something else.  She certainly wears my patience thin at times, but I’m trying to learn how to be more patient, at least with her and Jennifer. Only Jennifer can tell you how well I’m faring in that pursuit. Continue reading →

Lily’s first steps

At the grand old age of 47 weeks, 2 day, 2 hours and some 17 minutes or so (ie. at about 4.29pm, May 19, 2009) Lilyana took her first unaided steps. We’ve been waiting for her to take her first steps for a few months now, because she’s been able to pull herself up on stuff and walk around leaning on stuff for about 2 or 3 months.

We were just sitting down in the lounge, eating when Cindy decided to put her on the floor about 2 feet from the coffee table and where she would usually just sit down and crawl to the table, she took the 4 steps required to reach the table instead. I’ve got to say it kinda took us by surprise, so we made her do it again to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. Needless to say, it wasn’t and she repeated the feat with ease.  I guess it’s time to start putting everything that can be reached by a 2’7″ toddler up out of reach.
