Happy Birthday Gram!

Dear Gram....

Chilly Days

Dear Winter,

Thanks to you, I am starting to really fill out my snowsuits during these chilly days you have brought.

The Polar Bear. Brought to you by Gram:

The Polar Bear combined with 

The Mustache-compliments of 

Auntie Sarah and Uncle Jase:

The Teddy Bear: A hand-me-down from my bestie, Remy:

The adorableness a product of two really, really 

ridiculously good-looking people procreating:

And now...milk drunk.

Good Night,

Felix

Twinsies

Dear Uncy Jake,

Was visiting me like looking into a mirror of your youth? We do look an awful lot alike when you were my age.

Observe:

Uncy Jake:                                                                   Me:

Like looking in a time machine mirror...

It was really awesome to see you and Auntie Sam!

Love, Felix

Finally!

Dear Auntie Sarah and Uncle Jase,

We had our little rollover secret for a while...but now, the secret's out! Mom finally caught me rolling around on film! I know it's a little dark, but you get the idea...

Love, Felix

8 Weeks!

Hey everyone,

I am EIGHT weeks old and pretty happy about it. Here's what I have to say:

Felix Air

Dear Opa and Uncle Jase,

I know you both really like airplanes and flying and all that. Well, guess what!? I do too!

Welcome to Felix Air...

Love, Felix

Babies!

Dear Mom and Dad,

It was really great of you to take a prenatal class (fondly referred to by mom as "Baby School") so you could learn about me before I arrived. Now that I am here, I get to meet all the people in your class and a bunch of future friends! It was pretty cool to meet all my baby friends at the baby reunion this past weekend,

Just checkin' out the only gal in the bunch...my neighbour Azalia....

And now the new moms...

It would be cool to see my friends again soon!

Love, Felix

Size LARGE Changes

Dear Cousin Ben,

I am growing and soon I will be big enough to play with you!

Here are my new stats:

Birthweight: 7 pounds 3 ounces

6 week check up: 10 pounds 6 ounces

Birth Length: 49.5cm (19 inches)

6 week check up: 55 cm (21.5 inches)

Also, I graduated from the newborn position in the cuddly wrap, to the infant position. Observe:

My family is hoping to come and visit you soon, Ben!

Love, Felix

Be Mine?

Dear Valentine,

I dislike Valentine's Day despite mom's best efforts to dress me in hearts and pummel me with kisses.

Sporting my Parisian outfit straight from Paris, 

                            thanks to Kiel and Lydia.

Bah, humbug.

Official dislike for the day of love.

Family Weekend, Indeed!

This will be a three-part entry-one for each part of the long weekend!

Saturday:

Dear Gram and Opa,

I was SO glad to see you this weekend! Thanks for making the trip out from chilly Calgary. All the cuddles and snuggles and chats were so nice. It was nice to have all my Grandparents together again and catch up over dinner.

Sunday:

Dear Great Auntie Anne,

Thank you SO much for coming over to visit. It was nice to finally meet you. I love the koala bear and the little onesie. I already christened it with just a touch of spit-up...you know, really make it my own. Daddy is still sad that you weren't able to stay for dinner, but with therapy and time, I am sure he will get over it. It was cool that Gram's friend Linda was able to come over too-we had a great ol' chat!

Monday:

Dear Daddy,

I love how you dress me...So does Gram...

It was nice to go for walks and have cuddles and smiles with you two! Come back soon!

Love, Felix xo

Smile Rampages

Dear Mom,

I know you have been weak at the knees a bunch of times this week whenever I have a smile fit. I just discovered how fun it is to smile at you and Dad! I usually have them after eating where I just can't stop grinning! I finally let you capture a smile...

I know. I am impossibly adorable.

You're welcome mom.

Love, Felix

New Friends

I made some new friends this week!

Friend 1) Rebecca

Not only was Reb a great snuggler, buuuuuuuut she came with COOKIES! Mom and Dad said they were delicious. I slept in her arms for the whole movie. To call it cozy would be an understatement.

Friend 2) Billy

I have actually met Billy before, but last time I pooped on him. I decided to let him off the hook this time. It was great to see him again and get cuddly.

Friend 3) Chris

Chris actually came to visit me in hospital with his wife and daughter, but that was AGES ago, so it was nice to catch up with him and have a good ol' chat. I had a lot to tell him today and showed off my sweet neck control. 

Love, Felix

GREAT Aunts

Dear Zia Zia,

Welcome home from Mexico! I have heard so much about you and was so glad to finally meet you yesterday. I was barely through the door of your condo when you demanded, "Give him to me, give him to me!" It was great. For those 4 readers who don't know, Zia is Italian for Auntie, and since she is my Mom's Aunt, I am calling her Zia Zia.

I hope to visit you lots Zia Zia-it is quite a short walk from my house to yours!

Love, Felix

Busy Times

Dear Auntie Sarah,

You and Uncle Jase were the first to see me roll over on Saturday and although we all thought it was a fluke, I did it again today! My mom has been trying to film it, but she is yet to capture it on film. I am also really into smiling. I smiled a lot today. I think it makes my parents happy when I smile at them, so I am going to try and smile even more. Between rolling over, and smiling my little cheeks off, it has been quite a tiring day!

Today I went on a long walk to Cook St village and back. We just managed to miss the rain, and then I got some Gina cuddles who was over visiting from Vancouver.

Bath time is still one of my favourite times...

This time, I even had my first shower! I am still a little unsure about showering, 

but I am sure I will get used to it eventually.

After such a busy couple of days, I am pooped. 

Love, Felix

Cool Like My Auntie

Dear Auntie Kate,

I wore the sweet outfit you gave me yesterday...

Thanks for the radical getup!

Love, Felix

Insley Family Dinner!

Dear Uncle Jake and Auntie Sam,

It was so great to see you last night. I just love it when you come to visit because then all of Mommy's family gets together for a big dinner and a bit of a party. It's a LOT of fun. Last night was especially special because Uncle Jase took his boat out and caught a bunch of crabs! 

17 crabs...I mean 7. Or whatever the legal limit is

Uncle Jase-the Crab King!

Sooooooo many photos, mom!

Auntie Sam snuggles...

Auntie Sam, you are so cool. Thanks for teaching me how to fist bump. 

I hear that's what all the kids are doing these days.

Auntie Sam and Uncle Jake, you two look awfully comfortable cuddling with me....

After all the excitement of dinner and seeing Uncy Jake and Auntie Sam, 

I was pretty exhausted, so I took a Nonni nap...

I just had to get some Nonni and Gramps cuddles in before I went home to bed.

Hope to visit you in Vancouver soon!

Love, Felix
