A Summer Deilight

Levi nearly 2 1/2 years old

Felix turns 1 week old!

Felix turned 1 week old today! He's the most relaxed baby and has taken to nursing like a champ. He's even on a 3-hour eating cycle and, if mama isn't quite on top of it, he gives me a 10 min. grace period! He's opening his eyes through out the day and loves, loves, loves snuggling!

Celebrating Felix!

This was our 1st weekend w/ baby Felix, and it was a busy one! Complete w/ visits from friends and keeping up w/ Mr. Levi!

John and Levi built a table for Levi's train, complete w/ astro turf!

Final product; it's a huge success!

Making our rounds at Ocean Park

Tammy and Matty were Felix's 1st visitors, and he snuggled right in

Matty was a natural!

Levi and Papa made pancakes; Levi spent most of the time eating the batter!

We even took Levi & Felix to see Gustafer Yellowgold, a wonderful fantasy world for kids created by a super-talented NY-based singer/ songwriter!

We topped off the weekend w/ a BBQ at SoCal Holmes, which was relaxing and included smores!

Felix 1st ride in the buggy!

We took Felix to Levi's playground on the beach next to our house this weekend. He was easy-peasy, and we all took turns pushing him!

Brothers

I can't wait to watch Felix grow & see if he and Levi look alike. From the pics below, there are definitely some strong resemblances!

Brothers. Do they look alike? They both have similar lips and, of course, full heads of hair...time will tell...

Felix's 1st night at home in Santa Monica

After 2 nights at UCLA, we headed home. We had a wonderful experience at UCLA Santa Monica, equally as good as the Portland in London, which we LOVED!

Felix meeting his furry brother, Hanky! Felix was immediately showered licks and hovered over as the newest family member!

Our cousins came over to meet little Felix. Hazel and Sadie were so cute with him! They couldn't wait to hold little F!

Cousin Brian with Baby Felix

Hazel Bean was darling with Felix and, after a quick fix, immediately started playing with Levi, which was so thoughtful!

Everyone has been so kind to Levi in helping him with the transition. He's doing well (with the help of a few pressies!)

Mumsey has been a life-saver by helping care for Felix, cooking for us, and keeping me company during feeds and frustrations!

Papa is also a natural; the boys can't get enough of him!

Felix gets his 1st bath!

It's amazing what little details you forget when it comes to your 2nd... how to hold a newborn comfortably and even how to give him his early baths!

Focused! It's all beginning to come back to me...

Felix at the spa getting his hair washed!

All cleaned up and ready to go home to meet his furry brother!

Proud Mama bear!
