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.

Those big blue eyes

Not much sleep happening lately, those big eyes are wide awake alot!! Seb is now talking to himself alot in bed instead of sleeping. And we are getting lots of smiles from him. We go to check on him to see if he is sleeping and all we see is his big blue eyes and the biggest smile, cheeky monkey!!

Which ball do I choose?

First family picnic

Saturday afternoon when Uwe came home from sailing, he suggested we go on a picnic, the first time together just the 3 of us. We drove over the Harbour Bridge to Kirribilli and bought some fish and chips and set up our spot with the best view in town. Seb happily slept in his capsule the whole time while mummy and daddy got to eat their dinner without being interrupted.

Sebastian - One month old

Its been one month since Sebastian was born. Time has really flown by. We have learnt alot in that one month and I'm sure we will be learning alot more everyday for a long time to come. We have started to venture out of the house more, mostly just walking with him in the pram to the park and we have been to our favourite restaurants a few times for dinner too. He loves laying in daddys arms while he sings to him and he has just started to enjoy laying on his play mat and doing tummy time.
