As you may know by now Gerda’s baby boy has got the name Umka. I had hoped it would be Mischa but Umka isn’t so bad either.
The little guy seems to be quite happy with his name. 🙂
Good morning, mama!
Checking that the fans have arrived. Oh yeah, there are lots of fans already!
A few snow flakes surprised the mother and her son.
There are very big toys in the pool …
… but next year they will look smaller! 🙂
Umka is still a bit careful before getting friends with water.
Mama Gerda keeps encouriging his son but the water is soooo wet!!
Umka likes to do some aerobics …
… and close to mama is always the best spot for his exercises.
A lunch break is needed!
After a good meal it’s time to have some tender moments with mama.
Guess what is the safest place for observing the world!
Of course, it’s between mama’s big paws! Here I can show my tongue to the visitors, hahaa ….
Thank you for watching! We’ll be back soon!
Kleiner lieber Umka mit dem Schalk im Nacken! 😍💓 Mischa oder Mischka hätte mir auch besser gefallen,aber Namen sind ja Schall und Rauch. 😉
Dear Sergej!
Thank you for the enchanting photos! Little Umka is absolutely adorable, and Gerda is once again a proud and loving mother who clearly enjoys looking after a little bear cub again.
Hugs
Anke
Ein süßes Baby, aber ich hätte Gerda eine Babypause gewünscht!
This is why Umka is a good name

Ja,Umka ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig und passt nicht so recht zu diesem kleinen Wonneproppen, der zu seiner Mama Gerda ein sehr inniges Verhältnis hat!!🐻❄️😊
