We recently had the family over for either my birthday or Father's Day – I honestly can't remember which (!). Great fun was had when we broke out the bubbles, as you can see:
And this one I shot just today. Ozan apparently decided to play sandal delivery boy.

Bouncing back
OK, let me take a moment out of my busy schedule to fill you in. Ozan has now had his first childhood illness, to wit: exanthum subitum (just had to use that cool Latin name). Also known as "sixth disease," which is what the doctor here called it – and I thought, what the hell were the first five? –, this means our poor little guy had a high fever for about three days, then a blotchy rash for a couple more. He was also whiny and cranky for about a day or two after that. The most worrisome part was the fever, which breached the 40ºC (104ºF) mark. We kept going in to his room in the middle of the night to put cool cloths on his head and arms; very heartbreaking. But as I say, now he's over it, and let me tell you that for the past 36 hours or so he has been just unbelievably cheerful, all smiles and wanting to play. I am really coming to understand the joys of parenting.

Toddling and babbling
Sorry we've been out of touch. Maybe these videos of Ozan's latest antics will make you forgive us. Also, more pictures on the Picasa page now.
