These Boots Are Made For Walking

...or not.

BuBba turns 17 months old in 2 days and he is still not walking.  He stands as long as he can hold on to something, he loves pushing my Table Tonic fuschia Moroccan leather pouffe up and down the hallway, he cruises furniture at lightning speed but has only taken a step here and there to date (probably 3 times).  He's reached all his other milestones in average time but seems to be at the end of the spectrum with getting his walking shoes on.

I'm starting to get concerned so I've booked him in for a developmental check with our local GP next week (along with his 18 month immunisations a bit early because of our departure).

Please tell me some stories about babies walking late to make me feel better. 

Point + Shoot & Week-a-Boo

What a fabulous weekend!  Totally full on but amazing!

I had my work farewell drinks on Friday night which was an absolute ball!  I wasn't going to let the rain dampen my spirits.

Taken from inside the taxi on my way in to the city

Saturday was our 6 year wedding anniversary.  Daddy BuBbles organised dinner at Est. which was simply sensational.  We practically had to be rolled out of there, we were that stuffed from the tasting menu.  Dee-lish!

Gorgeous chandelier inside Est.

And finally Sunday.  A day to kick back and relax.  We farewelled some friends who are moving to San Fransisco and farewelled our car.

Bye sweet Liberty GT - you were good to us...

 On another note, was anyone successful in getting tickets to Oprah?  Although we won't be in the country when she arrives, I applied for tickets in the hope of getting a guest pass for SiSsy.  No such luck though...


On Mondays I like to play along with Point + Shoot and Week-a-Boo.

Friday Drool

Tomorrow marks our six year wedding anniversary.  Holy cow!

It's amazing how time flies.  Who would have thought that when we met 16 years ago at a Domino's Pizza store (he was a delivery boy and I was a pizza maker/shift manager), that we'd be where we are now.  

I thought it would be fun to make a little timeline of our life travels over the years:

*  Meet each other while working part-time jobs at a pizza shop while studying at uni

*  Move to Sydney together

*  Move to London 

*  Return to Australia

*  Get married

*  Have baby

*  Move to Singapore

I wonder what the future holds?????

Happy Anniversary Daddy BuBbles!!  I can't wait for our date tomorrow night <3

Uh Oh Razzamatazz

Ummmah, I didn't get around to blogging yesterday.  I feel very naughty because this is the first time I didn't get around to blogging but I swear I had a good excuse.

My MuMmy arrived in the afternoon for a week's holiday visit.  She was quickly put to work puttying and painting walls and I've scheduled in a few babysitting sessions with her as well.  

The main reason that I missed blogging yesterday was because it was my last day at work.  I've been there four years - the longest I've ever stayed at the one job - huzzah! 

For nostalgia's sake I took a few photos of the campus and it's surrounds.  I've never really mentioned my job before but here's a sneak peak into my (non-glamorous) working world.

My barista <3

I used to eat my lunch on those park benches...

...and admire the view.

Great work, great environment, great colleagues.  

I'll miss that place.

Tuesday Tunes

Another one of my favourite songs.

More house guests this weekend gone.  

This time it was my beautiful bestest friend in the whole wide world and her lovely husband.  Even though she lives interstate, she is one of the biggest things I will miss once we move, especially as she is presently 23 weeks pregnant... with twins!!!!  I'm already planning a trip back in February so I can meet her gorgeous twinnies.

We decided to head to Sculpture by the Sea super early yesterday morning to try and beat the crowds.  So didn't fancy fighting the masses with a pram and it turned out to be a great idea!

My Dad used to own a sky blue panel van like this before I was born - rock on!

Thousands of bottle caps and ties

Oh Em Gee!

You can see my bestie's pregnant belly in the reflection :)

Skidaddle ya camel!  I don't know why but there was a sewing machine in it's belly??

Splat!

Trying to blend in

After working up an appetite we headed for breakfast at Bondi Trattoria.  If you're ever in Bondi, I highly recommend this place for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  Although I don't live over this side of town, I've had the pleasure of eating at Bondi Tratt a few times and have never been disappointed.  I last visited a year ago and yesterday we had the same charming and efficient waiter as then.  Love this place!

My Mumsie arrives later in the week to babysit help us get organised for the move.  Today is her first day of retirement after working in the same job for 41 years.  Can you imagine how weird it would feel to not have to get up to go to work after doing that day in, day out for so many years?  Weird.

A Singapore update is also well overdue.  I'll endeavour to fill you in on where we're at later in the week.  

For now, Happy Monday and have a great week!
