Felix turns one

 {showing off his birthday crown}

On the morning  of Felix's birthday, we all went down to Eastern Market and picked out our Christmas tree. Quite coincidentally, Felix wore the sweater with the Christmas tree on top of the car.

Felix seemed to know he had reached a major milestone because he was quite full of himself and trying out new things, like squatting and standing while holding a pretend green pepper in his cooking pot and looking at the Christmas stockings. Impressive.

You may recall that Felix was the Very Hungry Caterpillar for Halloween. Henry still calls Felix his little caterpillar, and corrects anyone who calls him by anything else. Dan and I are not allowed to call him our little monster, Babyzilla, etc., only our little caterpillar. So, the cake was an obvious choice.

He chose the "green leaf" cupcake.

Happy Birthday, Felix! We love our little caterpillar!
