Nelly's first Christmas is rapidly approaching and all our shopping has more or less been done. Absolutely can't wait till we're up in Toowoomba with the rest of the family for what will be a very memorable holiday season, what with two new babies in the family now that Eleanor and our new nephew Thomas are here. We'll also be spending the week following Christmas up in Coolum with James, Dora, Thomas, John and Sheena which will be great.
For this weekend we drove down to South Port on a little field trip. In truth it was mainly due to my desire to try out this ramen place (Ichiban Boshi) that I'd heard about. The ramen actually turned out to be good although not great (compared to Hakataya ramen in Sunnybank in my opinion), but the trip was good fun anyway.
After lunch we headed down to the water for a stroll, where Nelly cackled at the seagulls and pelicans flying around. I imagine that obese pelicans primarily nourished from the cast off potato chips of visiting tourists look kinda silly to an eight month old, perhaps even to 29 year old mums who keep referring to them as "smellicans" and giggling. We weren't dressed for the occasion but I have a feeling that once we get Nelly on the sand and water she's going to love it.
Before heading back to Brisbane we stopped by Baskin Robins for a quick treat. Not sure if we were being irresponsible parents, but we decided to give Nelly a bit of Rocky Road from mummy's cone to see what she would think. She didn't go into anaphylactic shock and seemed to take to the chocolate quite naturally. I think she's going to have a sweet tooth.
