Road trip

We picked up our new car on Valentines day (best present ever!) and decided to go on a bit of a road trip today to test it out. The car is amazing, we all love it and Seb loves to sleep while we are driving, so we are all happy!!

Uwe suggested we go south to the Royal National Park. We were very lucky as it was the re-opening of the Audley cafe and park and there were plenty of stalls and activities for everyone. Seb got his first stubby holder (which is only for his milk bottles!). We listened to some music and watched some dancing from some elders from the local aboriginal tribe.

We then visited the local rural fire brigade, police, ambulance and SES. Seb didn't seem interested in getting a photo in the fireman costume, I think daddy was having more fun.

Going out on Gondwana

Uwe was taking some work friends out for a race on the harbour and needed to go to the boat early to clean up before the race. Sebastian and I also tagged along as it was a beautiful and sunny day in Sydney (we haven't had many of them lately). It was the first time Seb has gone on daddy's boat and daddy was very excited. We checked out down below before getting off and letting daddy start the race. They did very well coming 4th in the race.

Linda's Birthday

For Linda's birthday we invited our friends and family over for a BBQ to celebrate. The weather was perfect, sunny and hot. Alot of time was spent in the pool because it was so hot. After everyone went home, Linda got lots of kisses and cuddles from Sebastian.

Daddy read to Sebastian before bedtime

Then Sebastian needed a little break...Before he wanted to play again!

Our beautiful boy

First swim in the spa

Sebastian had his first swim in the rooftop spa with us on Monday. He loved it. He starts his Aqua baby swim class on Thursday, so hoping he will also love that. We've already had a busy week, we went to Gymbaroo class on Monday and had fun playing with some other babies, Mothers group was yesterday at a cafe at Bondi Beach and today we went to the movies (ok, this one was for mum, Seb slept most of the time).

Australia Day

Happy Australia Day. I bought Seb a cute little outfit for Australia Day with 'Jnr Aussie' written on it. Yesterday, we received Sebs Australian passport so we can travel to Germany in April. Uwe would really love Seb to have a German passport aswell, but he will find out whether Seb can have both or not.

We also started Seb on solids today, we gave him rice cereal. He didn't like it. He screwed up his face when the first spoonful went in and it all just ran out of his mouth. He's not quite ready to sit up in the high chair yet either. But we will try again tomorrow.

Visit with the family

Seb and I took a trip out to my parents place for a visit and while we were there my sister and nieces also stopped by. He is so good with other people, he doesn't mind being passed around. He was a good boy and loved playing with everyone.

January 2012

So much has happened in the last month. Just before Christmas Seb started rolling from his back to his tummy. This caused some worry for mummy as he started rolling onto his tummy while he was sleeping. But he is strong enough that he can hold his head up and move it to the side. He loves his tummy time and is getting stronger every day. He loves us to read to him and he loves looking at books. Uwe has started talking to him in German so he gets familar with both English and German, maybe Seb will have to teach mummy some aswell.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to Uwe!! This morning after opening his presents from Sebastian and I, we headed out to South Head to watch the start of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. While we were walking from the car, Seb fell asleep in the Baby Bjorn carrier and slept for a while before he woke up and played for a bit under the sun shelter. It was a really nice day to have a picnic in the park with some friends and watch all the boats on the harbour on Uwes birthday.

Christmas Day 2011

Merry Christmas!! This was our first Christmas as a married couple and with Sebastian. The day started early with us heading down to Bondi Beach. Uwe went for a quick swim in the water while Seb and I waiting on the beach for him. Then we headed out to my sisters place for Christmas lunch with my family.

Seb was very spoilt by everyone and got lots of clothes and toys. He also got lots of kisses and cuddles from everyone.

Adventures of Sebastian

Everyday our little boy gets bigger and continues to take in all his new surroundings. Everywhere we go he loves to look around at everything. We love seeing him smile and we certainly get lots of them every day. He is getting more vocal, not with the screaming, but it seems he is really trying to talk to us.

My mothers group organised a baby massage class a few weeks ago and we all had so much fun. All the babies loved to get their legs, arms, bellies and heads massaged.

He loves laying on his beautiful quilt that one of our friends mum made for Sebastian, except when he is on his tummy, he doesn't like tummy time and always cries when we put him on his tummy. He has even rolled over onto his back because he hates it so much!

Last week my mothers group organised a Christmas party, below are all the babies with their Christmas nappies on, how cute! Sebastian had his first trip on a boat, it was a luxury yacht owned by one of the other mothers and we even got to watch the big boat race on the harbour.

Quick video of Seb

Just a quick video of Seb playing under the play gym. We have lots more photos to put up and will upload them soon.
