Fun in the Jolly Jumper

In the last couple of weeks, Oscar has started moving around a bit more - he is now rolling by himself from his back to his tummy and from his tummy to his back. He uses this technique to roll closer to toys that are out of reach. And when on his tummy he kicks around his little legs in order to try to move forward, so we are excitedly waiting to see when he will start crawling...

He also likes to stand up, so he can look around a bit more. One of his favourite things to do is go in the Jolly Jumper and walk/jump around on his little feet and look at his surroundings. Here is a video of Oscar in the Jolly Jumper:


Last weekend Kasper was on daddy duty during the afternoon, and I heard this out of control laughing coming from Oscar's room, so went in with the video camera to check out what they were doing... sometimes it really is the simple things that keeps Oscar amused :-) Enjoy!

Best Ever Coleslaw Dressing

Last week we tried a different type of coleslaw - as you do when you have leftover cabbage originally used for a Minestrone Soup to use for something else... This coleslaw is called a green coleslaw and is made with savoy cabbage. However, it is really the dressing which is amazing, and I'm sure I'll use this fantastic dressing in the future for all types of coleslaw!

The recipe is for 4 people

1/4 savoy cabbage, finely shredded
3 celery stalks, leaves reserved, stalks finely chopped
1 Lebanese cucumber (or 1/2 a cucumber), halved lengthwise, thinly sliced

Dressing
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 lemons, juiced
1 tablespoon sugar (white)
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tbsp whole egg mayonnaise

Put all dressing ingredients in a container with lid, close tightly and shake all ingredients together. Pour over coleslaw ingredients and mix through.

Sorry, forgot to take a picture :-(
