Archives for the month of: March, 2012

We got together with some other moms and babies we met at the hospital and walked together for the March of Dimes. I’d never done it before and now it had special meaning since Felix was born more than a month early! (You never expect to have your baby early and in the NICU, hooked up to all those wires and unable to come home with you.)  Obviously he’s doing great now, so we’re walking to benefit other babies!

The route was 8.6 miles long and took us about four hours to walk. It was quite the adventure with 7-9 month olds but we had a great time and were just thankful we got to the finish in time to eat lunch. We found a quieter spot in the park and had a celebratory picnic.

[Editor’s note: We’re walking again this year, March 23, 2013. Please consider donating to our team!]

Look who’s finally getting good at pushing himself up on his belly! Can crawling be far behind? Felix hated “tummy time” so much I wondered if he would ever do this without a major fuss.

Felix got to attend his first wedding today for Alex and Anna at Sweetwater Branch Inn. We didn’t get many photos, but he was a very well-behaved guest.

And later that evening…

The light coming in through the porch lately is so soft and nice I can’t help but bring Felix out and take more portraits.

He is so perfectly posed here
