Fledgeling Felix

After speed-walking through the beginning of the year, then stumbling in an effort to dash, Felix has finally figured out how to take flight of foot -- and off he goes! Now we're working on jumping, which demands his greatest concentration and some cute, funny faces.



This is one of those pictures that makes me think, "Is he this grown up already? But it was only yesterday he was a little wrinkly new thing..."



By the way, I don't suppose you'd guess that Felix is the child who actually sits still for a haircut! While Solomon screams and squirms (always has) and ends up with a decent look because of the way his plentiful straight hair falls, Felix remains calm, gets a nice even trim and a treat, and then a few days later looks like he's been involved in some sort of "Self-Coiffure for Children" event. I think it's something about the texture & direction of growth. What gives?
