Happy New Year!

We hope you had a great [insert holiday here] and New Years! We sure did! We started a new tradition and avoided traveling by hosting our respective families for Christmas. It did feel rather odd not to do anything on Christmas Eve or Christmas day, since we had the Abts family over on the 19th and the Kienerts over on the 26th. Great times, both. Felix wasn't quite sure of what was going on, but he enjoyed visitors and grabbing bows. The Kienert side continued our Ugly Sweater tradition from last year. Classic!

Felix has been doing extremely well. He still doesn't sleep through the night, but getting up only once at night is a major improvement. He rolled over for the first time from back to front on 12/30! So, we got the rolling over before his first tooth. That seems like it might be coming at any time, though. He still spits up like it's going out of style, and that's probably the only stumbling block on his way to become a baby model. He's all smiles and giggles when he's not nomming his fingers (oh, gotta do something about that, too) or spitting up. Just today he started "walking" when we held him up.

And as a holiday present to all, a short video of Felix "dancing". Enjoy!




Also, I've determined that it's a Padiddle Economy. So many people are using their income for important things, and putting off things like getting their headlights fixed. So many more padiddles on the road, though it might just be a Wisconsin thing. [I came up with it. Use it. Tell your friends. ;o)]
