Tooth number 9 has arrived

Just spotted another tooth in Mia's increasingly sharp mouth. She was in a particularly giddy mood in the car on the way back from Manly and our walk around to Shelly Beach today. So when she was laughing I could see a little tooth iceberg popping through on her bottom jaw.

My brother has now left Sydney and is in Melbourne with his friends. We've had a busy week so far, showing both him and my mum around the sights of Sydney and the Blue Mountains. We walked around Circular Quay on Saturday and took loads of pictures in front of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Had a coffee at the Opera Bar, walked around The Rocks, had a great lunch in a bar called The Argyle where Mia wanted to get down and explore everywhere. 

On the Sunday we walked around just as much and went over to Woolloomooloo and had pie, mash, peas and gravy at Harry's Cafe de Wheels. We took them to Darling Harbour because it was Easter weekend, and there is always stuff going on over there. They had some sort of Hoopla festival with circus acts dotted around. Mia was more interested in the playground, and a five-year-old girl called Dorothy. Little Dorothy thought Mia was cute!!

The Blue Mountains trip was great. We stayed in a cottage in Katoomba, very close to Echo Point, which is where you get a great view of the Three Sisters. Obviously we took the obligatory thousand pictures of us all there.  

The cottage had a fire, which Damien kept going for us throughout the three days.  There's not much to do in Katoomba or Leura (the next village along) so we just had takeaways and stayed in drinking wine!

The views at Govetts Leap Falls near Blackheath were particularly amazing, well worth a look.  Mia had a great time in the cottage, she even learned how to climb up the stairs!  

Here's a little video of her being silly at the cottage.
