Alex pauses for about 10 seconds to eat some grass...

...although the Mums keep a close eye on him

Meanwhile, non-crawling Poppy and Livia keep each other entertained

Livia seems surprised we can see her as she tried to blend in with the blanket!

Liv-ing wild at the Wildlife Park

• Age: 42 weeks

This weekend we celebrated Chris's 30th bday (well OK, the 5th anniversary of it). To mark this occassion, we rented a car, and did a couple of trips out beyond the ring road of Oxford to places not reachable (or not practically so) by bus/cycle/train/other form of non-car transport. Despite a false start (we managed to drive the same stretch of motorway three times before figuring out the right exit) - all to avoid a partial toll road (it turned out the toll was all of 5 pence/10c) - we made it to our first destination, the Cotswold Wildlife Park, still smiling. Here are some of the highlights...
