Owen is now two months old! What did he get as a present? Firstly, a visit to a genuine German Solarium! This is important to keep up his vitamin D levels, but you can't go for free very often. It's a popular pastime for Germans to go and get a fake tan at a solarium. One German explained to Nathan, after coming to work with a tan, "It makes you feel good". Our Owen's not going to get depressed!
Next, Owen got a new bed! Look at how big he is now in his old bassinet, and how small he looks in his new cot!
He also got a visit to a frozen pond - quite a novelty for the whole family! This is the same pond you've seen many times in our various photos - in Johanna park. Here's Nathan standing on the surface. We didn't dare let Jo stand on it, because if Nathan was to fall through the ice, at least Owen would still get fed - we're responsible parents now, and have to think of our boy! In the background you can see someone ice skating. We guessed that if the locals are ice skating, it should be safe.
Here are the ducks and other water birds. They've still managed to keep their access to the water, but their long channel has turned into a small hole. Looks like they're fighting a losing battle. Actually, we're not sure why they bother - that water would be close to 0 degrees celcius - but they don't seem to mind.
Now a few more shots of Owen. First is Owen with his nonchalant look - hands in pockets with not a care in the world.
Here's SnuggleOwen, the less well know gumnut baby.
And finally, a shot of Owen with his latest trick. He's discovered his own hand. He spends several minutes every waketime examining his right hand with keen interest - right before putting it in his mouth. Slurp slurp!
