One of the portrait places was offering a special for babies under three months old, so I brought Felix in just before he hit the three-month mark. The photographer was great at getting him to smile – pretty impressive since at that point he was really just getting into smiling on demand (and not just for farts).
The shoot took a fantastic turn when Felix spit up all over the black backdrop. Sweeeet.
Felix had his first (play)date on Saturday with Navah! Almost as soon as Steph put her down on the play mat, they were like the little love otters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epUk3T2Kfno), holding hands. Of course, beyond the hand-holding, they mostly pretended to ignore each other. Regardless: so cute.
Thanks to Steph for the pictures!
… Blue Steel.
A slightly balding Blue Steel in a “suppertime” bib, but a Blue Steel nonetheless.
For Christmas, I got Felix his first laptop. It may be a stuffed laptop that makes typing noises and has a fuzzy, vibrating “mouse,” but it’s insanely interesting for him!
First of all: I added new pictures to the Inaugeration Day post, so you should check those out!
Here we have some assorted pictures of Felix being a ham, as well as him practicing his speed-boxing. We also have some pictures with Laju and with Chris – who had the bad luck of meeting Cranky Felix.
Felix is already three months old, which is CRAZY. Except for occasional (bowel-related) crankiness, he’s a really good baby, and even lets us sleep a full, uninterrupted eight-hour stretch most nights. He’s grabbing things, has discovered that his hands taste delicious, and talks to himself, us, and most inanimate objects, even if none of us understand.
Last night Felix was making a totally bizarre noise, so we, of course, videotaped it and stuck it up on YouTube for your enjoyment.
We’ve had some successful rollovers (tummy-to-back)! He’s still not consistent, and usually when I put him on his stomach he’ll just sit there for a minute and then wail. BUT, these pictures are funny because he was in a good mood, and we did some really good tummy time, and then he rolled over. I decided I should take some pictures for the website and post them as a dramatization “before” and “after.” But I put him on his stomach for the “before” shot and before I could take it, he rolled over again. Sweet! So, here is a NON-dramaticized, live-action rollover.
Being able to hold things makes toys a lot more fun. Here are a couple of his favorites, as of late. And just for fun, here’s also a picture of Felix trying to copp a feel…
