What a Weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend. On Saturday, we went out into the rain and got family pictures taken in the studio at the Babies R Us in town. Felix started out slowly, but eventually, we got a few smiles out of him. If I can scan our pictures, I'll post a few here.

In the afternoon, we went to my company picnic. Felix had a blast, going on a wagon ride, eating cotton candy (which he heard as "hot 'n' candy"), and seeing animals and tractors.

Today, we had a small gathering of friends over with their kids. It was nice to introduce one set of friends to another. We waited out the rain, then went outside, where Felix and his daycare buddy Alana went swimming fully clothed. Nearly 6-month-old Sophie didn't go swimming, but I'm sure she wanted to. :o)

Weekend in Rapids

We took Felix up for a weekend in Rapids with Grandma and Geepa for the first time since Thanksgiving. (You know it's been awhile when Nick gets close to the house and says, "Is this the right one?") It was a nice, relaxing, albeit hot, weekend. On Saturday, Felix got to play with new toys and we grilled out. Sunday, we went out to the course, where Felix got his first rides on golf carts and greens mowers (cue the photo op). Then we drove up to Marshfield to look at crazy metal sculptures. Back home for Felix's nap before the long drive to Madison. All in all, pretty lovely.

Felix is showing his independence with a vengeance. He started saying, "No, no, no, Mama, " indicating that he wanted to do it (or just not me). Whatever, kid. :o)

This morning, I asked Felix what he wanted to be when he grew up. "Divvy tuck diver" (delivery truck driver) and "semi diver" were his responses. I'm very interested to see how this changes over the years (although I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up...).
