new experiences


M finished term 2 of uni - so we had planned to head north to QLD, however with the volcanic ash closing down sydney airport - our plans changed and we had a staycation instead.
We played tourist in Sydney and took L to a fancy restaurant - Bistro CBD in the city. I say fancy as the restaurant was filled with suits... the staff were good, but it really wasn't a kid friendly place, they did not offer to give us a high chair. L did eat well - he had roasted veges off a silver spoon - what more could one ask for. It's really nice now that he can eat most things that we can get out a bit more!

It was such a beautiful winter's day - the sun shining and blue skies - so we headed down to the Opera House, and then for a long stroll through the botanic gardens - hoping to lull the little man to sleep, but alas not to be...

My baby


turned one this month. We celebrated this milestone with a party more for his parents than for him. Actually - i don't think he really knew what it was about, though we all had a great time. It meant mummy could try out her baking skills, albeit limited. I broke a stick mixer in the process, burnt the cake so had to make another but the final result was worth it i think.I made hoot the owl from ABC2 - giggle and hoot show. I even got into trouble with our friends for feeding their kids too much sugar!
