Dear Chibi,

Yesterday we spent the whole afternoon at Newway & Alex’s place; munching on delicious food & catching up with everyone. Hubby tried out a new pasta recipe with meatballs. It turned out quite nice, but it probably takes a bit long for a weeknight meal.

In our last group gathering P-chan was only 7 weeks old. This time he was awake to meet everybody ^^ yay.

Thank you Newway & Alex again for being great hosts! :D! It was another wonderful day and plenty of fun for the little ones :) P-chan, Mikayla and Chloe were all pretty exhausted by the end. Little P-chan even collapsed in my arm XD.

Can’t wait for the next one. Hopefully Troy can make it then :)

Dear Chibi,

On Saturday P-chan attended his first wedding at Curzon Hall, the same venue his mummy and daddy tied the knot almost 5 years ago :) And of course, it’s Fiona our celebrant, again. She is everywhere XD. I’m sure this won’t be the last time we cross paths. Either way, it was all a little nostalgic :)

Vivien and Yan’s wedding took place in the beautiful ‘Eternal Garden’. We were standing right at the back but could still see her earrings and necklace glistening under the sun. So pretty!

After the ceremony we took some photos with P-chan in his cute little attire. SO HANDSOME X333

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,

Dear Chibi,

Today Kat, Kaz and I had brunch in Newtown’s Cuckoo Callay to celebrate Kat’s 33rd Birthday. It was my second time leaving bub at home, though I think I’m ready to venture out alone with him next time :).

Cuckoo Calley was located literally outside Newtown station ticket gates. It’s hard to miss the bright pink logo. I grabbed a seat inside next to a huge mirror which end up being a pretty fun prop to play with XD. Our table looks so much bigger than it is XD.

Happy Birthday sis! Hope you enjoyed your birthday treat :D

Dear Chibi,

I’m back here at Lab Kitchen, this time to celebrate our nephew Leo’s 1st birthday. The poke bowl I got last time was so yummy I was this close to ordering it again XD Instead, I went for the miso salmon and got Hubby to get the poke bowl (so I could still have some too ohoho 8D)

Dear Chibi,

Last Sunday was P-chan’s first time catching the train and light rail :D. We were heading to Darling Harbour to meet up with the Cofa gang for a late lunch at Fratelli Fresh. We hopped on the same carriage as Somps & Dong and travelled together. We also bumped into MZ and Amy while waiting for the light rail.

We arrived right at 2pm and took advantage of a off-peak 50% discount. Unfortunately it was only valid for groups with less than 11 people, and we had…well, 11 people XD. We end up splitting up and eating on separate tables close to each other.

There was a lot going on with all the people, lights and live music. So much to take in for this little one :3

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
