The Pea Incident

It looks like I blog on a monthly basis these days. Sorry to Sydney friends, Linh in London and Steven in Hong Kong! We've finally uploaded a handful of new Eliza piccies, so click on the coach potato for more.

And so to the Pea Incident. The other night I gave Eliza a bowl of home-made dahl (which D. has been making), but it was a bit too strongly flavoured for her liking. So I decided to switcheroo and give her some finger food. First it was bits of cheese, then some vegemite on toast, and then a bowl of steamed peas (which D. said Neera had recommended).

D. and I sat on the sofa and watched some TV while Eliza fed herself. I glanced over and suddenly realised she had a pea up her nose. Oh noes! I rushed over and squeezed it out. It was up there pretty good, but it eventually popped free. I had a looksee but couldn't see anything else up her nostrils, so it was back to strawberries for dessert, and then a bath. Eliza did seem to be a bit sniffly, but she splashed around happily, and then we dried her off. Out of nowhere, another green orb appeared out of a nostril! She really must've jammed it up there!

Apart from that, all's well, thanks for askin ;)
