Does the tie match the shirt?

Never mind that! How about: Does it match the bloody painting?

Erik before his first day at work.

Mothers, babies and Meat

What do these things have in common? We both OBVIOUSLY just love masticating the stuff.

Remember this folks?

Erik and I managed to capture this little "meat juice dance" Manon did whilst masticating a rather large piece of meat. And for reference, she STILL does not have any teeth. She is purely amazing.

Argggg. I like meat. Gimme Gimme. Yum.

Meat is good in my tum.

Tasty-tasty goodness here I come.

In my mouth and OUT MY BUM!

Well, I am the luckiest person - yes I am. I love riding my bike. And I really do love my bike. And I really really love my daughter so much . So if you add them all up and mix them around (no I did not fuse my daughter to my handle bars) I chucked her on the back!

To show off our new style, we took a leisurely ride along the bay out the front of my folks house. And by leisurely I mean S L O W, as I don't have any gears and my daughter has a massive head. One sideways jerk from her and we just about hit the pavement... JUST KIDDING!!

Me - ready to rock and roll

The happy chappy bike family

Manon all ready to cruise

Nearly fused to my handle bars

Mandy, my sis and Manon - I love Manon's expression here

Melbourne Lane Ways

Melbourne City is know for its labyrinth of hidden ally ways- housing cafes, art gallery's, nightclubs, bars and shops. But my favorite thing about these ally ways is the amazing art work of graffiti that decorates all the barren shitty walls. Here's some of what we happened to come across one day. God bless talent. CHECK IT.

Its my party and I will cry if I want to... cry if I want to

So as a good mumma - I threw Manon her first birthday party. I wanted Catsi the clow to turn up, but alas, my tickle trunk has not yet arrived from Canada - so no Catsi the Clown BOO HOO. I also wanted a petting zoo, a jumping castle and a 7 layered cake... but she decided that she wanted some cupcakes, some nice pressies and a whole lot of kids to play with instead.
