Sylvia, who is in her third trimester and due in April, was even caught off-guard while preparing for the cover shoot at her Sydney home.
The blonde beauty leaped out of her makeup chair to grab her phone when her mother Janine beckoned her to the garden where Oscar was standing unassisted, albeit wobbly.
‘To see him standing like this for an extended period is a first… this is a very proud mum moment,’ she told the magazine.

‘We hadn’t planned to go down that path so soon, but having had not an entirely easy path the first time around you can’t be anything but thankful and grateful to have fallen pregnant this way,’ the TV host said.
Sylvia said many people think the couple are nuts for having two boys 14 to 15 months apart, but she insisted the couple wouldn’t have it any other way and are loving their ‘baby bubble’.

‘I’m not sure how I’m going to navigate the teenage years – that might be where Pete steps up’: Sylvia joked that while she’s excited to have ‘two turbo boys’, she’s not prepared for their teenage years
The Nine presenter is also excited to be a mother of two sons as she was a very sporty tomboy growing up among a sea of other boys.
‘I’m not sure how I’m going to navigate the teenage years – that might be where Pete really has to step up – but I’m not worried about it. I know it will be a lot to keep up with two turbo little boys, but for now I’m just embracing the beautiful chaos,’ she explained.
And the couple are also glad Oscar and his soon-to-be born little brother will have many cousins to grow up with around similar ages – including Karl and Jasmine Stefanovic’s daughter Harper.
