Click here for a video of Owen pushing his German Lernlaufwagen (= learning to walk wagon).
Here's another one with Owen showing his eye-hand coordination - hitting balloons with a fly swatter. This is one of the things he learnt to do at Gymbaroo - a baby fitness centre. It's fun for the kids, but Jo says it's more like a mother fitness centre, with the (mostly) mums chasing and carrying their kids all over the place. Roger Federer watch out - we have the makings of a tennis champion here!
Owen has lots of fun at his swimming lessons. Here he is
doing an underwater torpedo or two.
Some of you will remember a craze a few years ago, where people would create computer animations of dancing babies . We don't need any animations - we've got the real thing every day! Owen loves to dance to music (he especially likes a CD of German music given to Nathan as a farewell gift by one of his German colleagues), to the movie Shall we Dance , and most of all, to the Wiggles ! Here's a sample.
His favourite pastime at the moment is climbing stairs . Up or down, it doesn't matter. Owen is showing a great deal of determination and stubborness - he'll go up and down steps continually, seemingly in an attempt to get it "just right".
With all this activity, it's no suprise that Owen occassionally falls asleep at the dinner table, 
or on the floor!
