Felix is 23 weeks or 5 months and 1 week!

Time is flying and I don't know where my little baby has gone.

Felix is now sitting up in his highchair, albeit slightly floppy.




He rolls his water bottle around and occasionally I will give him some banana to taste. I can feed him little amounts of mashed nana or I give him little pieces to try and chew. He is not really picking food up himself yet. But he will hold a stick of carrot and nibble on it if I give it to him. He his grabbing at things ferociously and his grip is so strong. All this has intensified in the last few weeks. He is not rolling very voluntarily but he is holding himself up strongly on his tummy.

 
 


This is Felix just yesterday in pyjamas for the first time. He is a big boy!



And here he is today on his playmat, only just started getting into it recently, when I lowered the toys.


Here he is looking very pensive with MorMor.

 
It was at Aunty Ju's where he went in a highchair for the first time...
 
 
And he had a sleep in Fredi's cot....
 
 
And a laugh with Aunty Ju...
 
 

It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and we went to Aunty Ju's for a yummy brekky of eggs Benny. Then Felix stayed with Aunty Ju and the cuzzies while I went out for a couple of hours for the first time.

When mummy got back from her makeup birthday session at Ballantynes Felix got a big feed with a made-up mummy...


 

 
 Then we went to pops and Lala's for lunch and Felix got more laughs in for the day...

 


I am trying to work out his personality. He laughs and smiles a lot but he can also be very pensive and serious and I think he looks very wise...


Geez wayne he is definitely growing out of his capsule carseat...


I might have to start calling him the marshmallow man...



He sleeps in fairyland...

 
 
And sometimes we have special adventures to places like the Botanical gardens where we discover peace and tranquillity and with Spring on its way we also discover daffodils and cherry blossoms...



Felix Tane McVeigh is tangata whenua, in more ways than one and I think he likes the mamaku ferns and the koru will always speak to him I reckon.... NEW LIFE. He has a given a new and very special life to his mummy too.


 
I wonder if he knows that...
 


MorMor will always hold a special place in his heart, as will he in hers. And just look at those cuzzies... now that is Love.

 
This is love too.... and a very tired boy.



He is always up for an adventure more than he is for sleep though...


We had some visitors last week; Leneke and her beautiful girls, Charlotte and Katie.




MorMor and Felix sit and share, a moment of togetherness.

                                         Felix contemplating his life ahead

                                                                 MorMor reflecting.







ps. Here is a great shot of Felix with his plunket buddies a few weeks ago...spot the breastmilk belly!



 
Cute... all looking slightly drunk...
