Picnic in the Park

Yesterday was such a beautiful day here in Ann Arbor. Sunny, clear skies, leaves changing, and 80! We decided to spend Sunday afternoon at the park w/ a picnic. We went to Gallup Park and I think we'll be going back there again. It's a beautiful park with a playground, biking/walking paths, picnic benches and beautiful scenery.

Felix in his new ride! We cashed in credit card points and got the Phil & Teds Explorer w/ doubles kit (this was a surprise when we opened the box...so we kind of have to have more kids right?). We got a great deal at Buy Buy Baby and we love it! 

 Mommy and Felix photo session (I won't tell you about the really thick and wavy long gray hair I had to edit out...I quickly pulled that out once I saw the pictures!!)

Daddy and Felix photo session! The second picture was completely by accident. Like father like son. 

One of a few family pictures we have! We experimented with the self timer on the camera and I think it turned out pretty great. 

The many faces of Felix Robert Singer. Isn't he a cutie?

Dad's about the get a nice little surprise on the face!!

There's a pond and a river by the park and Phil got these great pictures of the swans. Aren't they beautiful? 

I think this was our favorite day in Ann Arbor thus far. After a few hours Felix fell asleep in my arms and Phil and I sat on a bench by the pond reading our books. There's nothing better than taking a break and relaxing with my two best guys. 

Is this our boy?!

I can't believe how much Felix has changed in the last few months. He's so much more interactive and mobile!

I'm not sure I've mentioned here on the blog before, but Felix has Torticollis. You can see it in almost every picture of him. He tilts his head to one side.

We started taking him to physical therapy a few weeks ago and he's doing so good! I love to go and watch him get stronger and stronger while he "plays" with the therapist. This week one of the things she tried to get him to do is holding up his upper body with his arms while on his stomach. He has a tough time doing this, so she did something a little easier and put him on his knees and rested his arms on a short bench with a toy on it! It's by far one of the cutest things to see him do. I recreated it at home using his trusty bouncy chair.

Felix is also rolling over a ton! Mostly from his back to tummy, but he doesn't like playing on his tummy very much. So we flip him onto his back again and then he flips back to his tummy. We're working on getting him to flip to his back on his own. But now that he can roll over he's started doing it when we lay him down to sleep. I snapped these pics today during a marathon nap...

Phil and I were so scared when he started doing this. I mean SIDS is one of our biggest fears. I know that once they are strong enough to roll over there's not too much you can do about it, but still...Anyway, he's fine and actually falls asleep on his tummy with every nap. I have been flipping him  onto his back once he's asleep because he tends to sleep longer on his back...until today. He took a 2 hour+ nap this afternoon and he was on his tummy, so I don't think I'll touch him anymore! 

Oh and here's a cute picture featuring Phil and Felix's fingers...

He's getting so much more interactive when he's eating. He tries to grab at his bottle. He's very strong and sometimes it results in a wrestling match...
