Two Items

1) I am officially teething, so watch out mom and dad!

2) I am not sure how I feel about attending mom's softball game...

Exersaucer

Well, it's happened. My parents have started putting me in the "circle of neglect." Now, this circle is pretty awesome. I love making noise by whacking at the animals and using my sweet leg muscles to turn myself around. I am still not quite the right size so mom stuffs a blanket around me.

Circle of neglect, we are going to get along just fine!

Flying Felix!

Dear Nana...

Oh, and Gramps, too!

Thanks for babysitting me this weekend! I had so much fun hanging out with you on Friday night AND on Sunday morning!

Old Friends and New Friends

Old friends, Mom and Jen G (even though she is now Jen D), got together for a walk as moms with babies tend to do and met up with another old friend, Auntie Heather. New friend Naia was teaching wee Felix a thing or two about being adorable and awesome. He listened intently and hung in her every "word".

So much cuteness. I melt.

Carrot O'Clock

Dear Carrot...the actual vegetable, not the panda that was my Dad's stuffed animal as a child,

I am reaaaaaaaally into mashing my gums down hard on stuff these days. Knuckles, toys, blankets, whatever! In any case, Mom thought it might be fun to try mashing my gums on a cold, hard, carrot. Here's what happened:

What the deuce is this!?

Perhaps if I hold it myself...

Aiiiight...I'll give it a chance, coach...

YOU! You've been holding out on me!

This is awesome. I will now use all my superbrain powers and 

sweet holdingstuff skills to gnaw away on this carrot...

Thanks Carrot. Do come again!

Love, Felix

Another First...

I went swimming!

I think mommy was going to burst from excitement. Please observe her giant grin in the photo below...

I had a LOT of fun and stayed in the pool for about 1/2 hour which was just right! I was exhausted from all the floating and kicking and had a great sleep after swimming.

Dear Daddy

I think you are just the best! I have so much fun with you, especially when we go on our man dates. There's nothing like an early morning stroll with you, cappuccino in hand and Moss Rock or the beach.  My favourite is when we have our man-naps. You are so cuddly and cozy. I hope you have a very Happy Birthday today. I love you, Daddy!

When I was 3 or 4 days old:

When you turned 34 years old:

Happy Birthday!!

Love, Felix

First Vacation

Dear Vancouver/South Surrey/White Rock,

I had a GREAT time visiting you. Although mom was just the teensiest bit nervous about taking me on vacation, I made sure I was on my best behaviour. I was amazed at just how much of Mom's suitcase all of my stuff took up...

Here is Daddy and I about to board the BC Ferries...the first of many ferry rides, I'm sure...

Here I am taking in the beautiful sights and sounds of the Georgia Strait

Once we arrived in Vancouver, we covered a LOT of ground. We went with Auntie Kate and cousin Ben on an EPIC stroll around the seawall, and ended up playing in the park.

After this, I got to visit with Uncy Jake and Auntie Sam over some delicious sushi in downtown Vancouver. Uncy Jake even wore his special shirt. Auntie Sam and Uncy Jake just returned from a road trip to the states and brought me back a cool T-shirt which I immediately put on.

Over the next few days, cousin Ben and I spent some time getting to know each other. Under close supervision of Gram, Cousin Ben really enjoyed pointing out some of my features like my belly button, ears, mouth and eyes (photographed below)...

The day before we came home, Mommy took me to meet my Great Uncle Rob and Great Auntie Mo out for coffee at a delicious hot chocolate shop...

It was a busy weekend, but lots of fun. I have decided I really enjoy travel and urge Mommy and Daddy to take me to Hawaii next. I promise I'll be on my best behaviour!

Love, Felix

Catching up...

I have some catching up to do...

1) Auntie Sarah's Birthday post

2) Day Camping for Auntie Sarah's birthday

As soon as I get my pudgy little hands on the photos from Uncy Jasey's camera, ill post some goodies...in the meantime, I am off on my first vacation! We are heading to Vancouver!

Love, Felix
