My darling Kaylin,
Happy, happy birthday! I can hardly wrap my head around it, but you’re officially two years old.
Your first year went by a lot slower than your second, maybe because all you did was eat, sleep and poop an awful lot. You took your first steps the day after your [...]
The sisters and I took Kaylin to Jungle Gym at Bangsar Shopping Centre the other day. It was Kaylin’s third time, my sisters’ first. Kaylin was pretty excited to hear she was going – I’d never seen her come down the stairs so fast before – but once we were inside, I have to say, [...]
This is Kaylin, putting on lip balm while on Skype with grandpa because she wants to show him what she’s learned to do. I think the little princess is growing up far too quickly, but I must say I’m starting to enjoy dressing her up.
Honestly, when she was born, I had no idea [...]
This is Kaylin at her first kids’ pool party. It’s her second time in a swimming pool, not that she did any swimming at all. In fact, as you can tell, her hair is completely dry. She never went deeper than knee-high water, and she couldn’t be bothered trying.
This photo was taken on [...]
There’s something about my in-laws’ garden (or maybe it’s the people who live in the house) that gives off a very protective, safe vibe. This is the second time we’ve found a litter of kittens, much to Kakak and Kaylin’s delight.
The first time, we found two kittens that their mother eventually abandoned when [...]
I found out Kaylin could feed herself quite by accident. I was at a wedding with her, the daddy had another wedding to attend so he wasn’t there, she was really hungry, and I was, um, busy talking to people who had come over to our table to say hello.
Her food was right [...]
The family took a trip to Pavilion a couple of weeks back (I say “trip” because we ran a few other errands and it became quite the excursion, plus I was exhausted by the end of it) and while the men did some shopping, I finally did two things I’ve always meant to do but [...]
MA gave me this cute baby record book when Kaylin was born, knowing how much I’d love making the lists in it. I’ve been wanting to put it together, but haven’t quite found the time and determination to collect and develop two dozen photographs. (I’ve already filled in all the details, of course.)
So a [...]
I wrote this on 7 March 2010, 11 days before Kaylin was born. But for some reason, I never got round to clicking the ‘Publish’ button. Until now.

Dear baby,
We don’t even know if you’re a boy or a girl yet, but it won’t be long now. It also won’t be [...]
Even Kaylin has become a Belieber! I can’t decide whether it’s a good sign or a bad thing. The universe is trying to tell me something about this kid Justin.
