Dear Chibi,

At 39 weeks, this little cutie has been out in the world longer than he’s been inside my belly. And it’s been incredible. We love him more than words can ever describe <3

Dear Chibi,

Happy New Year! On the final day of 2019, we took P-chan to his Grandma’s house to swim for the first time. He’s always enjoyed bath times, but being in a pool could be a whole different story. This 40 degree heat seemed like a pretty good time to finally make it happen :D

No tears and plenty of smiles :D P-chan really enjoyed his time with Daddy and even started kicking his little legs. I’m so proud of him for being so calm and brave!

The days between Christmas and New Years tends to be a bit of a blur @_@”
What day is it again? ;D

Dear Chibi,

On Sunday we headed to Ramsgate RSL for yumcha with the inlaws and extended family. Cindy, Mick and Catalina were in Sydney, so it was a nice little get-together for those who could make it.

After lunch we decided to check out Ramsgate Beach since we were in the area. The heat wasn’t too bad, but the sky was looking pretty yellow again. No, it’s not a filter XD.

Dear Chibi,

This summer has been rather crazy with all the bushfires and haze… yet we managed to get a rather cool, comfortable Sunday which was a relief.

I headed out to the city in the morning to get my hair cut and coloured for the New Year. I always want it cut, but once it’s cut I want it long again lol. Hopefully P-chan will appreciate less hair poking his face, though he’ll probably still tug at it and try to eat it :’D.

Dear Chibi,

This year Kaz wanted us to bring P-chan along to her company’s annual Family Day. It always looked so good in pictures, so I was pretty keen to go (probably more so than P-chan XD)!

The event starts at 3pm so we headed out earlier to Rhodes Waterside to check out the Christmas deco and maybe finally get a photo with Santa ^.^

AND WE DID :D How cool is this GoT inspired chair? So hipster. They gave us free prints as well as a ‘Baby’s Christmas’ book for P-chan :3 Yay!

And just around the corner there were 3 more Christmas themed backdrops for more photos!

Dear Chibi,

Yesterday we popped P-chan into a carrier and did some exploring in the native gardens. It was a neat little trail, and they even supplied insect repellent which is always appreciated (and probably necessary XD).

Dear Chibi,

A brunch to celebrate Father’s Day with Hubby at Auvers Cafe. It’s my second time here and the food is just so..DELICIOUS??? :D

Last time I ordered matcha pancakes but I wanted to have something savoury. We went with the truffle fried rice, crab omelette, hojicha latte, manga and coconut yoghurt smoothie and chips with saffron mayo. No regrets!

I want to come back and try everything else on the menu. So tempted :D

Dear Chibi,

Can’t believe spring is officially here! P-chan can finally experience warmer weather :)

On Monday, Hubby and I took P-chan to Auburn Botanical Gardens to see the cherry blossoms. The Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival ended over a week ago which meant the busy crowds were mostly gone (thankfully). We attended 3 years ago, and the ticket prices have doubled since. I guess that’s what happens when events get too popular ^^”

We took a stroll around the gardens and managed to take some photos during the short time we were there. Our days are always planned around bub’s nap times and feeds. I think the photos turned out lovely :)

Dear Chibi,

My in-laws invited me out for lunch today at Lab Kitchen in Wentworth Point. It was my first time out with P-chan without Hubby, so I needed to know how to put bub in the car seat & assemble the pram. It end up being a pretty stress-free day since bub was on his best behaviour and did not fuss at all. He sat in his pram quietly watching us eat for over an hour. He was so perfect :3 It also helps that Mary came over to pick us up so I didn’t have to drive.

I ordered the poke bowl and taro latte. It was really yummy! Sylvia also brought back some kyoho grape flavored KitKat from her recent Japan trip :D Overall, it was a pretty good day.

Dear Chibi,

There’s something comforting about hanging out with other mummies and their babies. Even better when they’re friends you’ve had since High School :)

Lunch @ Chow Bella Cafe, Lidcombe
