Walking on da Moon

Just a very quick video - Felix is now walking about, small, tentative steps, but steps none the less... Both Amy and I are enjoying walking with him around the apartment for hours and hours and hours (although our backs could use a rest!)

Nearly Birthday Day

With only two days until Felix turns one, we thought it time to put some videos on, pre-birthday diluvium...

Here is a quick update on new skills:

We have walking (well, it's more pushing and cruising at this stage, but he stands so well unaided from sitting, and he has taken the first few solo steps, but only when he really wants something that is out of reach), we have more noises (woofing at doggies is his favourite, growling at the tigers in his books is another), we have had a nasty stomach bug hit, which he dealt with in such stoicism, smiling at Amy and I despite being totally under the weather. Just now he decided to try and swim in the bath, throwing himself forward and splashing around wildly, laughing, putting his head under and blowing - he got a little too excited and got his breathing a bit out of time on a couple of occasions, swallowing a nice mouthful, but was soon on his tummy again, splashing around.

Amy is baking a cake ready for a little celebration that we are having tomorrow, on his birthday eve, simply because of work and availability (I also worked today, half a day, but enough of a half a day to leave not much time), and we are both excited, thrilled, suprised and overjoyed at our little boy becoming a little toddler.

Here's a couple of videos for now....

Love, the Gambells x
