melbourne

a very tired leanne...

excellent dinner at toofey's. one of the cooks there was so smitten by her.

what's this on my foot?

till we meet again. thank you yee ma for taking such good care of me....

it was a good and relaxing trip. thankfully the weather wasn't as hot as first expected. there were a couple of days when it was raining and a bit chilly.

leanne warmed up to yee ma, uncle frederick and benjamin immediately and was ayeing everyone and busy crawling and exploring whatever she found on the floor.

think leanne also charmed most of the aussies that we came across.

hello yee ma

this is the first time, leanne met her yee ma, uncle frederick and benjamin. she likes them all and i think they adore her too.

she enjoyed crawling all over the place at yee ma's home too cause the floors were carpeted and her knees wouldn't hurt as much.

she could pull the slightly ajarred bedroom door , turn to take a look at us before gleefully making her way to the family room and onwards to the kitchen where the food was.

off to visit yee ma

leanne finally took her first flight to melbourne. she was pretty goood on the flight. had a bottle and went to sleep after. we think she was one of the better behaved babies on board.

leanne seemed to enjoy the trip too. she was happy sitting in the stroller most of the time as we pushed her around and was really friendly to the people there. she would stretch her hand out to strangers and smile to them. think she charmed almost everyone who saw her...ranging from men at adjacent table in the cafe, the waiter and cook in the restaurant to the air stewardess...and even uncle frederick....

she didn't like the new experience of having her bare feet touching the grass though...i really like the open green area overlooking the vineyard at domaine chandon in yarra valley.

leanne trying to keep her feet as high up and far away from the grass as possible.

super baby leanne on her mission

leanne knows the knee pads are good for her and would patiently allow us to put it on for her.
