Oscar's Wild: Life with Oscar

The first few weeks of Oscar’s life seemed to fly by so fast so we thought we'd share a few of our favourite pictures from the early days.

Week 1

He came out crying and didn’t stop for most of the week (or so it seemed). We initially felt that he had two settings ‘sleep’ and ‘cry’, with nothing else in between but as the days went on he settled down. Being home and in our own surroundings was a great change but also a steep learning curve for all three of us!

Week 2

Oscar’s second week began with lots of visits from family and friends, eager to have a cuddle. He was still sleeping a lot at this stage and was doing relatively well overnight, sleeping for 4 hours at a time and then settling straight after a feed which allowed us to get enough (broken) sleep.

Week 3

Oscar’s third week was Tim’s last week before he had to return to work. It was around this time that Oscar changed his sleep routine and decided to become a party animal – wanting to stay up until 3am each night (which we are still waiting for him to grow out of). Despite being heavily sleep deprived, we made the most of it and were able to get out of the house most days. We enjoyed a lovely outing to the Mount Kembla Pub with Aunty Sam and Aunty Gen, a lunch at the Nan Tien Temple and Oscar attended his first party for his little friend Taj who turned 2!
