Holiday Seasonings

Sooooooo...I have been busy. It is the Christmas holiday season, so I have had lots to do. Wrapping, opening, cooking, visiting, etc.

I like helping Nana prepare meals, so here I am in my tiny Christmas apron all set to help cook Christmas dinner...

 

A few items to note: my hair is greasy due to a run in with coconut oil; the apron was made by Nana for my Uncle Jase, but it just happens to fit me, too; and the sweet Santa slippers were a lovely gift from Grammy and Opa to keep my tootsies toasty all winter long-they are complete with grippies on the bottom so I can rip around with ease!

Here is me enjoying Christmas dinner. Something superfunny just happened. Also, you can see my eight teeth.

 

 

My Uncle Jake gave me this Felix-sized drum kit...it is AWESOME.

 

 

Drumming requires stick-out-my-tongue concentration.

 

Oh yeah! And Daddy gave me a haircut! Here is a side view where you can see that my mullet has been contained...(Thanks for the new Christmas Outfit Grammy and Baboo!!)

And here is me just turning my mom and dad into a weepy pile of mush as they are unable to cope with the high levels of cute.

 

For Christmas, my mom's side of the family all received onesies! I have been singing the praises for these one-piece jammies for MONTHS now, so it's nice to see people jumping on board.

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Balls

Today I visited Ball Paradise. There were giant ones bigger than basketballs, and tiny ones that could fit into the palm of my hand. The orbs of delight were on the floor, they were hanging in the air and they were shiny AND colourful. Some of them even jingled and jangled! It was so great. In between ball-hunting, I got my picture taken with this guy and then I returning to running towards all the spheres of wonder. 

I am demonstrating correct globe holding technique here and was eager to show my treasure off. Also, haircut time.

Love, Felix xox

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

What's this I hear about a list? I think I have been a pretty good boy this year and feel that I should be on the 'Nice List'. Allow me to elaborate.

1) 95% of the time, I sleep from 7ish until 8ish in the morning allowing my parents lovely evenings to themselves.
2) I eat everything: fruit, vegetables, meats, olives, dust bunnies, old popcorn bits from inside the couch,  cords and wires, ice cream when Gramps sneaks me some, and so much mummymilk.
3) I am friendly. I like to wave to people and if I know them really well, I will tickle them under their chin, high five them and sometimes even smooch them.
4) I appreciate culture and the arts. At music time, I support the artists by applauding their efforts and if I am really moved by the beat, I can't help but dance.
and 5) I am told that I have brought my mom, dad and other family members so much joy with my daily antics.

Having said all this, Mom says I should write a letter to Santa so he knows what to bring me. What I really want is the disc thingy that pops out of Daddy's Playstation when I press the button. And buttons. I LOVE pressing buttons. A computer keyboard of my own would be great so I could just mash away on those keys for days. Also crinkly things: candy wrappers, plastic bags, you get the idea. Buuuuuut seriously, these are some items that I would have lots of fun with:


1) A wooden stacking tower, stacking cups, or nesting bowls. You see, I have recently gotten into the fine art of placing items INSIDE other items. It's incredible. Putting one thing INSIDE something else. Also, gently setting objects atop other objects are definitely in my top ten fave activities of 2013.

2) I like magnets. Mom has some on the fridge and on the dishwasher, but they are kinda boring. I think they were designed for old people like my mom. I saw this one at my friend's house and I really liked it.

3) side note: mom is making me ask for these: a pair or two of "baby legs"/"baby leg warmers" whatever you'd like to call them. Here is an example of adorable baby bums and the leg warmers.

4) Also, a new cloth diaper. Mom and Dad like BumGenius, TotsBots, and BestBottom brands.

5) Anything that makes noise. I love noises.

Well Santa, I look forward to meeting you in the next couple of days for our photo shoot. I will bring my letter to you then as well in case internet in the North Pole is spotty.

Lots of love,

Felix xo

Some Aimless Musings

As 2013 comes to a close a few BIG events are coming up, one of which is Christmas! Christmas is only a few short weeks away. I hear it's a pretty big deal, so I will be sure to weigh in my opinion after I have taken in all in. I have been enjoying some festive events in the ramp up to the 25th.


Here is my dad and I listening to some carols at the Oak Bay Light up:

It was SUPER hilarious, but my dad kinda missed the joke.

"Christmas cheer"is something that I keep hearing about. So recently my mom and Uncle Jase and I went out for some of this cheer. If "Christmas Cheer" means getting to ride on Uncle's shoulders while we tour about the village, I offer it two tiny thumbs up. 

Because I am sosuperfast these days, what with my permanent fixation on constantly riding the heel-toe express…(Okay, sometimes it is the heel-toe-bail-on-my-face express, but either way,) getting a picture of me is really hard. Below is a picture of me wrestling with a fedora in my rainbow diaper. A cryptozoologist* has a few thoughts to share below.

Scientistic Observationals: Note the way the head fur extends well beyond the borders of the scalp. This feathery reach is due to the rapid movement of the young Felix. The image is blurred, but this is one of the clearest photos we have of this bipedal mammal. A warning to all that come near, the Felix often makes ample noise as a cautioning to those close by. Is it a mating call? A friendly greeting? No one knows. With further study, this scientistic observationalist hopes to uncover the great mysteries of the Felix.

Peep peep,

Felix
