It was a year ago already that Felice decided it was time to make an entrance – 3 weeks early.

Here is the birthday girl having just woken up for her cake and presents. Karen and Michelle who were here for (actually just after her birth are dropping in to say hi.

Parents are always saying how different their children are and I always thought `yeah yeah of course’. Felice really is her own personality. She is a placid, gentle and quiet soul and we adore her.

Now that she is more mobile and is taking more interest in her older brother’s toys the dynamics of our family are changing for sure.

Happy Birthday Felice !!

We can really see Felice becoming more and more social. She wants to give and get eye contact as you walk past. She is learning sign language really fast, so fast that we are sometimes shocked. There is definitely a little personality developing in there.

A toddler can so quickly go from this

to this

and this

all that is required is a small piece of watermelon.

This video shows an interesting phenomenon. Parents will celebrate almost any of their childrens’ achievements. Felice has just learnt to roll over in both directions. Probably only exciting when you are the parent, but here you go – our Felice growing up. You go girl.

Its a tough old world out there when you are learning to roll over !
