A little about Felix



Felix is asleep most of the time.  3-6 hour increments with not lots of wake time.  When he is awake he is calm and looking around.  10 pm seems to be a time he is almost always awake. He does cry during about 50%of diaper changes and all through his bath.  He likes to be bounced, especially with dad on the excessive ball.  He also seems to like his vibrating chair and carseat swing.

Felix squeaks when he eats.  He nurses is small increments often falling asleep.  Then after 5-10 min he wants give it another go.  I'm still getting use to this.  His feedlings are usually followed by spitting up all the milk and getting the hiccups.  He seems to fight gas and every bowel movement is an explosion.  

One of the absolute most adorable things about Felix is when he sneezes it is followed by the cutest sigh a baby can have.  

Today Felix left the house for the first time.  We went to Treats, story hour, and the extension office.  I had him in the moby and he fell asleep almost immediately and was still asleep when we got home three hours later.  

He loves being swaddled.  He loves looking at high contrast images.  He won't take a pacifier but will occasionally suck on a parent's pinky and occasionally the side of his hand.  No thumbs out yet, but his fingers are constantly moving around.  No tight fists.


He lost his umbilical cord at about 5 days.

He has the softest hair in the entire world.  It looks blond, brown, red, depending on the light.

We are all so in love.  The transition seems pretty easy from 1-2 kids.
