But here I am. Blogging about nothing but my baby since he was born. But I swear my next post is about something else. Here's what Felix looks like when he hangs out with Kyle.
We gave him his first real bath. And this picture basically sums it up...he hated it.
His feet are so ginormously long they are almost too big for the booties I made him.
And I think this picture looks the most like him, you know--super grumpy. He's really chill, but he always has a frown on his face.
And this is me blogging this post. Kyle decided it was a moment worth documenting...
How does it feel to eat your own words? haha just kidding, I think EVERYONE is that way until the go through it, and how can you not? I mean really you eat sleep and think baby 24 hours a day. Welcome to the club!
Cute pictures by the way, he looks different then I remember? Crazy how fast they grow and change every week.
i LOVE that picture of him out of the bath. Story was that way too, but last night she wouldn't stop crying and the bath was the only thing that got her happy. He'll like them eventually. I've actually been waiting for you to post more pictures of him, because i love seeing pictures of him. Can't wait to see him, i hope i see him tomorrow? after we get keri?
Yeah, it's something you learn after you have kids: You are a hypocrite, no matter what. Before you have your own, you promise yourself you won't turn into a giant cheeseball. And your kids will be well behaved, and not scream in the store. And you won't be those parents that abandon their children in front of the TV just to take a shower. And then you have kids. And you realize that despite all the books you read and stories you heard, you are still completely clueless.
Don't worry about blogging too much about Felix. If you don't blog enough about him, then people will think you don't love him enough. And worry that you're a rotten mom. ;) The good thing about kids is this: you're so busy worried about them, that it's hard to keep your thoughts all on yourself. And for me, that was a definite good thing.
I like that grouchy face. It means when does smile, you can totally tell you're being hilarious.
Hey Kelli. It was good to see you at Amy's thing for a bit. I was catching up on your blog and guess what....Stacey your neighbor was my roomate in college. She is amazing. You should say hi to her for me!
So is Felix the ruler of the remote? We had to take a quiz in my family Soc. class. It was "Who has power over the remote?"
I know how it is wanting to capture every moment of your baby's life on camera. Every little face they make just makes you all gooey inside and you want everyone to feel that gooyness, because it's so amazing!
I love all the photos - when they are first born you have to go blog crazy about them. His grumpy face is great and it's nice to see photos of you both as well!
It's so fun to see how much he's changed in such a short time! He's such a cutie and feel free to talk about him AS MUCH as you want to. Hope you're loving this time with him!
NBA 2k12 --- I know. I KNOW. I've probably played the NBA 2k series for atleast 350 real life hours. And yes, I KNOW that if I applied that time to any sort of constructive endeavor, I could probably boast actual abs, an add-on to the house, or a historical fiction novel. But I just don't care. The 2k series is the best sports simulation series ever made. And I will probably play it until I die.
Madden 12 --- Since the NBA is in a lockout, with basically no signs of ever becoming anything more than rich people personally spitting on me and my devotion, I felt I needed to find a new outlet. As the NFL is the country's biggest obsession, I figured I had probably get on board. I bought this game in large measure to relearn everything I'd forgotten about football since the early nineties when I last cared. And it did it's work well.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution --- Upgrading a bionic man while tiptoeing through warehouses? I accept.
Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword --- It seems at first glance everything you could want in a semi-tactical, mostly action-oriented historical battle game. You rouse troops, you train them, you arm them, you lead them into battle. You track looters and punish them. You try to navigate the political turmoil of 17th century eastern europe. But it's just so messy. It tries to be epic to the point where it seems unfocused. The interface is clumsy to me, and I got so sick of trying to learn the nuances of directing my troops that I always devolved into eventually abandoning them to their fates, while riding around lopping heads off. Cause that's where the fun was at anyway.
What Kyle's Reading
Nightlife by Rob Thurman --- Jeff introduced me to this author. After the density of A Song of Ice and Fire, it was nice to just jump into a light story with fun characters. Basically the story of what happens when demons make a baby, and the baby doesn't turn out to be that bad at being a person.
A Feast for Crows by George RR Martin --- He introduces a giant roster of new people. Some of them interesting, some of them not so much. It's kind of a grab bag of new information about regions not heard from before. But overall, the only book in the series that I had to force myself to read, instead of forcing myself to stop for the sake of sleep requirements. Still a good book, but one I had to just get through moreso than savor.
A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin --- This is my favorite volume so far. There were goosebump moments galore.
A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin --- Has one of the most intense battle sequences I've ever read. I can't wait to see it on HBO.

Yaaaaay! Felix pictures! I think the bath-hating phase lasted about a month with my kids. Something about newborns hating nakedness.
My favorite picture is the couch-potato baby. I love that kid's grumpy face. It's like he's already jaded to the world. So cute.
That top picture is most excellent! I wish it would let me click on it to make it bigger. Also, I love his towel!
