Happy New Year!

Well, after a bit of a downer for Christmas (see previous post), new year was alot better. Owen got the all clear from the doctor to break quarantine, and to celebrate, the family went to the beach. This was the first time Owen actually got in the water at the beach, and here are a few photos. Owen loved it, and didn't want to leave.

That evening we kept to Owen's normal routine - in bed at 7:30. At around 9pm, we were very surprised to hear Owen singing "Happy Birthday" to himself and his teddy. Here's a video of him singing this song at a more normal hour (keep watching for the "hiccup hooray!" at the end). After a bit of thinking, we worked it out. There were quite a few new year's eve parties in the neighbouring houses, which were quite loud. They must have woken him up, and reminded him of his favourite parties - birthday parties. And thus the song.
