The Time Has Come




(Disclaimer: Phil got him dressed that day)

The time has come when Felix gets into anything and everything (as long as its at floor level of course). Everything from the DVD player to the Christmas lights. He has become so much more mobile now and curious about his surroundings. He's not doing the traditional crawl, but does what we call the scoot and lunge. He gets on his hands and knees, scoots his knees forward and then lunges forward with his body. It's possibly the cutest thing. He also does this thing where he gets up on his tippy toes. It kind of looks like a cross between a downward dog yoga pose and Mowgli from The Jungle Book (minus the elephant and the actual movement forward). I've been trying to get a picture of it, but Felix is too quick for me.




Felix loves to play with the blinds on our wall of windows. 




I've even tried putting pillows and toys in front of the windows to try and prevent him from getting over there, but that doesn't stop him.



This morning I looked over and I couldn't find Felix. Can you spot him? Yup that's him between his toys and the window. Nothing will stop this kid from his goal. This time it was the baby wipes box, which I think next to the blinds is one of his favorite toys. 


Very frequently I will find him underneath his Jumperoo or the table.


Speaking of tables, check out his sweet booster. 


Can I be honest? I think I like my son a lot more now that he's more mobile and interactive. Don't get me wrong I've loved him since the day we first saw him on the sonogram, but he's fun now! I hope that doesn't make me a bad mother.
