of horse racing and baby babble...

Heigh-ho, back to blogging after yet another baby-induced hiatus! Yes, I am blaming her (rightfully so) - she keeps me on my toes, in a million wonderful ways. Permit me my little bebe-blabber - she is smiling back at us, has discovered her feet (causing her endless joy!), and plays with her hair with her little hand when she gets tired, which I just find devastatingly cute.

The little one is currently snoozing peacefully in her cot (2 hours and counting from my little day-nap-hater, winning!), giving me some free time to update the old blog...

 
My mum and I took bub to her first Melbourne Cup event this week - 'twas very peaceful sitting in the sunshine enjoying a glass of bubbles and watching the race
 
 
Clever princess picked a winner! And third place too! (As you can see, I don't have the stomach for serious gambling LOL).
 
 
Headed off to the local produce markets this morning with bub and my mum - inducting Evie into another very important weekly tradition!
 
 
Essential coffee-and-sourdough-toast pitstop at lee&me...
On that note - I feel like I've been doing nothing but eat out lately! Too much good food is going to see me bigger than I was during pregnancy!
 
 
Amaaaazing salad at the Berry Sourdough Bakery...
 
 
Brunch tasting platter with girlfriends at Diggies...
 
 
Breakfast with friends at Flannagans at Thirroul beach - new watering hole for us, top marks!
 
 
Luckily bub is a model dining companion
 
 
The little one was similarly well behaved last week during a much-needed visit to the hairdresser - alternating smiling and cooing with sleeping, interspersed with a feed. My hairdresser was very impressed that she slept through me having my hair blow dried! (might have something to do with the vacuum cleaner whitenoise we play her every night).
 
 
Aaaand I think I'm having far too much fun dressing le bebe...
 
 
Pretty as a picture in Escada and Missoni - her wardrobe is far superior to mine!
 
 
Too much matchy-matchy? Animal print shoes are tres chic doncha know!
 
 
Someone loves books already...
 
I promise to be a bit more on the ball with making blogging time, and responding to all your lovely comments! Can you all believe its Christmas in 7 weeks' time? Crazy! They year has just disappeared on me. I need to start Christmas shopping, stat. Planning on taking the little one to Sydney to visit Santa at the QVB - now that's truly crazy!
xoxo
