Oscar, the jolly jumper

As Oscar's head and neck control had improved we decided to try him out in the 'jolly jumper'. He took to it like a duck to water and ever since has enjoyed his time jumping. It is great for me too because it gives me my arms back for long enough to make my breakfast or have a cup of tea.

Mama's 60th Birthday in the Blue Mountains

In early September we celebrated Tim's Mum, Gerry's birthday by travelling to the Blue Mountains for our first family getaway. We stayed in a beautiful big house with views looking out over the mountains. Oscar was very well behaved and lapped up all the attention from his aunties, uncles and grandparents. I managed to sneak away from him for a couple of hours too and enjoyed a very relaxing massage at a local day spa. The weather was pretty chilly at night but we were kept warm by the lovely open fire.
