Oscar's First Christmas!

Oscar Jackson had heard a lot about Christmas, but wasn't quite sure whether he was going to like it.

His Mummy and Daddy were very secretive about something and he kept seeing them with strange packages and kissing under some funny looking weeds!

They then drove down to Granny and Grandad's house and who should be there but Auntie Totsy, Uncle Joely and Great Aunt Monica.

Oscar liked all the coloured lights on the Christmas trees in the house, and wondered what all the brightly wrapped packages were under the tree.

He was excited when, on Christmas morning, many of the packages contained presents for him!

The downside to all these festivities was that Totsy did take 95 pictures!

Here are some for you to look at!

Oscar Jackson starts to get to know Granny and Grandad Ory!

Oscar Jackson (who has recently passed 3 months) has spent the last 2 weekends with the Orys.

Oscar is slightly apprehensive because Granny keeps saying ' He is so adorable! - I could eat him!!', but keeps telling himself that she does not mean it literally.

Yesterday we went on a nice walk round some rocks before lunch.

Oscar Jackson's first holiday

Oscar Jackson really enjoyed his first trip to the Lake District. It was really nice for him to spend all day with not only Mummy but Daddy too. He loved going on walks and he thought it was fun to be fed up mountains and by streams. He also learnt what a pub is like in the evening. It was strange living in a cottage for a week. Not the same as number 23 but he got used to it in the end!

Oscar Jackson can Smile!

Oscar can now smile, laugh and even giggle!

Is it perhaps his aunt's wedding on Saturday that is the cause of this?

Stay tuned for his next blog from the wedding - and see if he is still laughing!!

Oscar Jackson is putting on weight!

Oscar has now put on over 3 pounds and last week hit the scales at 8 pounds,13 ounces!

He is noticeably heavier than before.

He is looking forward to his aunt's wedding on Saturday (though he is not quite sure what a wedding is).

What is he going to wear?

He hopes Mummy has got a special outfit (or 2) for him, as he wants to look his best.

OSCAR JACKSON meets the Family _ Part 2 !

Oscar is enjoying meeting his wider family - he has already been to Kippax and is looking forward to a trip to France to see Grandma Hilary, perhaps next year.

He just hopes that they won't expect him to speak French fluently - he is unlikely to be able to speak English by then!

He is putting on weight and has grown out of his first set of clothes!

He likes playing on his mat.

He is getting over his first cold!

Oscar Jackson is getting to know his family!

Oscar went to a family lunch in Kippax on Sunday.

Everyone said how much he had grown!

They had a nice lunch but Oscar had his 'usual' and a bit of formula from Daddy and Granny Ory - see the pictures.

He met Isla, who waved goodbye at the window; he liked meeting someone of his generation for a change.
