A long overdue post … They say that in the newborn phase, the first six weeks or so fly past while you merrily wallow in the punch-drunk baby love haze. That is also clearly true when one turns five! Happy 5th (and six weeks) birthday Carrie-bear! Baby girl, Now you are five! A full hand, a …
Four…
My little girl who loves to laugh, how on earth did you actually just turn four? I blinked my eyes and the bump in my tummy has turned into a big girl, seemingly overnight! {the morning you were born} You complete our family with your belly laughs and your deep-voice singing, with your conversations (with yourself) …
On her first year of school… and moving on…
The first Year I haven’t said much here about Caris’ first year of playschool, for no other reason than not particularly having much time (or inspiration) to blog at all. But now that the year is done and dusted, I feel the need to reflect on what was an incredible year. On the one hand, …

My Dear Caris It seems like just the other day you were a thumpety-thump sound accompanying a grainy blob on a black and white screen. My surprise pregnancy. My "Oh my God, how am I going to tell your father" baby. I can still feel the tears stinging in the corners of my eyes when …
Belated Birthday Bash(es)

A (quick) Letter for Caris at 17 Months
Dear sweetie pie I really haven't given enough attention to you, my sweet little girl, on this blog, have I? And it's not because I do not think about it often. I do. It's just that I am constantly running out of time to do anything these days. I feel like the proverbial mouse on …

Holiday adventures … and one very grumpy baby
While Gary was away on his golf-trip-extraordinaire, I decided to brave a trip down to Ballito with the kids and my mom in tow. We left Joburg on (a rather chilly) Saturday morning, just after eight, with the car packed to the brim, the DVD players in place, Cars 2 queued and ready, and a forecast …

Photo Friday … I can feed myself!
Caris is very keen on feeding herself these days, so much so, that she is refusing to let me feed her! So after taking some very reluctant mouthfuls of her usual supper, I gave her a muffin and some jarred prunes (because she loves them so much) and she very happily fed herself. Yum yum!
