February updates

We did a visit to the National Gallery of Australia to see the Masterpieces of Paris exhibition. Overall quite good, they even had a Van Gogh Kids room where they had all sorts of kid participation art activities. Mia seemed a little mesmerised , who knows..she may be a budding artist like Tante Son and Great Grandma Pang....



Mia also started Solids this mth which is a great milestone , also commenced rolling at 5.5 mths old so that is all good news.


We went to the supermarket for the firt time too this mth,
she was once again fairly excited getting into the trolley
looking at all the packages on the shelves grabbing my shopping
list and wanting to touch anything I picked up. No crying or tantrums yet!!







We said farwell to Uncle George! good old IBM friend who has gone to Indonesia to be with his gorgeous family....one day Mia will meet her little friends (Uncle George's sons - Joziah,Caleb and Gabriel).













O yes..Mia's first visit to Ryu , best Ramen in town..one of our
favorite Jap ramen spots in Sydney..











Here's another shot showcasing the full mop of hair Madame Mia has seemed to have grown..everyone keeps commenting how she looks like a little doll!
She sure is a little live doll thats for sure!
Pity we can't switch her off when shes crying for food!!!




Thats highlights from Feb!

Meeting Oscar Lee

On our way back from Melb, good old friend Julie Lee (formely Hucket) from high school
came into town for a visit. She bought young Oscar who was 8 mths old, a real sweetie. Here is Mia and Oscar meeting for the first time, Mia can look back on this and see how cute and adorable her little friend was...

Melbourne Visit

A last minute trip to Melbourne before Paul heads back for work,
this meant eating shopping and more eating- so entailing Mia's first Melbourne trip. She was a well behaved accessory to all eating establishments at Bistro Vue, Movida and Nobu...all great restaurants with divine food! We also caught up with Tante Tirza who shouted a wonderful meal at Nobu.....Thanks Tante T (you spoil us!!)



Also she feasted her eyes on some delicious mini-cupcakes green tea flavoured and red velvet tasters! Mini Mia with Mini cupcakes! Yum again...






Melb has the best coffee houses-Brother Baba Budan, a nice hole in the wall that sold seven seeds coffee which is probably one of the best coffees Ive ever had!!
The place was lined with chairs on the ceiling..funky Melbourne for ya...










Thats all folks...till next update

Thought Oma Rita's itchy fingers deserved a blog update...as a result a new outfit with matching hat and bloomers....2 shots afixed here....
Paul said she looks like a little caterpillar..but Im blind and think she looks adorable..

Mia gets her ears pierced

Today Mia was a good little girl who braved her way into the world of jewelled ears .. She was unaware until the 2 girls got the earguns and punctured the holes at the same time in each ear...one loud "WAHHHHHHH" for about 1 minute with tears , then she seem to calm down and forgot about the whole ordeal. Oma Rita could not bear to watch and had to escape the shop for a good 10 minutes before returning. Here is the pictures before , and during and after.
