We're rollin!

More milestones this week!

The other day I was playing the piano one handed while holding Felix in my lap, and he reached out and set his hand on my hand. We played his song (Pachelbel's Canon - the one I learned and played while he was in my belly) together, and Alex snapped these pics.

Just a few days ago, Felix rolled over from his back to his belly. It is really cute how lately he'll swing his legs over to one side to roll onto his side and from there either chill with a toy or his hands in his mouth or (twice now) roll all the way over onto his belly. The first time his arm got stuck under him, so I had to help him out, but the second time he hung out on his belly for a while and seemed a little surprised at how he got there!

Yesterday, Felix had a little laughing fit! He was in his carrier, belly to belly with me, and I was joking around with Kristin and her brother Ryan, and there was a lot of laughing going on. Felix was on the verge of sleeping (we all get a little giddy when tired, don't we?), and he looked up at me and just started giggling with a big grin on his face. I think he could both feel and hear me laughing, and was mimicking me! It was absolutely adorable, and I think we spent the rest of the night making fools of ourselves being goofy and trying to get him to do it again.

Felix has graduated to the big boy bath (he is too big for the newborn hammock attachment now). Here are a few cute photos of him at bath time.

Milestones

A friend of mine said recently, "It's all milestones from here." What a great piece of wisdom for anyone, but particularly apt for a new parent. Today was a small but awesome milestone: the urge to rock!

Earned the wings

With the wings, harness and the confident grin, Felix is definately looking like a little Sully Sullenberger!

...and that's what babies do.

Baby faces

Dos de Mayo

Bambinos! We went to a friend's house yesterday for a Cinqo de Mayo party. There were lots of babies there! Here they are lined up in order of age. Felix and his buddy Max are second youngest to the 2 week old laying next to Felix. Aren't they cute leaning up against each other? Soon after this photo was taken, a few of the babies started wailing (Felix included) probably in response to the terrifying amount of attention, flashes, and loud ooohs and aaaahs.
