Happy Xmas!

Felix had a very nice xmas. He opened his stocking....


and played with ribbon, which was probably his favorite gift!


Later, we took a sled ride in Felix's new sled.


And visited a snowman!


Later, he had some mashed parsnips and plum pudding.

Solstice Pickle

On Saturday, Felix went to Lisa, Eli and Gil's solstice party, and had a delicious pickle!



He says, it's all mine!

prisoner no more

Felix has reached a new milestone. This past Monday Nicola put him in his crib while she brushed her teeth, and lo and behold he figured out how to stand up in his crib. Now, some parents probably would have immediately put him on the floor lest he fall out of the crib, but we could not pass up the photo opportunity. He seems so proud of himself.

biscuits please

The blog has documented Felix's progress in eating solid food. He graduated from simple rice cereal to pureed foods like squash, beets, broccoli, apples and pears. However, now he is really only happy eating by himself. He loves to pick up chunks of food and eat them on his own. We are happy to oblige him with things like pieces of banana and pear, whole peas, and his favorite-crackers. It is really amazing to watch Felix as he strives for more and more autonomy, he has such a strong desire to do things for himself.




yummmm barley biscuits
