Owen turned 36 weeks (8 months + 1 week) old today. No major developments this week beyond getting him acclimated to daycare again following our Thanksgiving trip.
Here is the headshot.

Photo Gallery: Eastern Europe
Here are some of the photos we took while visiting Prague, Eger and Budapest over Thanksgiving. Microsoft Silverlight is required to view this gallery. Navigation is as simple as flipping through the pages of a magazine (i.e., drag the bottom-right corner).
Back from the Czech Republic and Hungary
For Thanksgiving this year, TB and I decided to take Owen on his first international trip and make our first visit to Eastern Europe. We departed Seattle Saturday, November 21, flying Lufthansa to Prague via Frankfurt.
Sidebar:
Hungarians and Czechs would take offense to their countries being classified as “Eastern Europe” however, for my purposes, I consider everything east of Berlin and formerly under Communist rule Eastern Europe.
After the 10-hour flight from Seattle to Frankfurt, 3-hour layover and 1-hour flight to Prague we were all exhausted. Owen is still a great travel baby and several flight attendants and nearby passengers commented on how happy he was throughout both flights. He had smiles and lots of chattering for anyone who looked his way and slept about 5½ hours during the 10-hour leg. TB grabbed 2 hours of sleep but I stayed awake the entire time reading or pacing with Owen.
