Milestones
recording all the firsts
- Fox sits up in the bath tub… with a hand ready to catch him when he falls. He took a bath with his brother for the first time and absolutely loves splashing with him.
- Fox is still mainly army crawling but he has become super speedy and recently has figured out how to crawl on his hands and knees. He has crawled up the steps from the living room to the kitchen before but needs some more practice at it.
- Fox pulls himself up to standing!
- If he could walk, he would. He would much rather be standing than sitting or crawling. Mommy holds his hands a lot so that he can walk around… his walk is extremely shaky and unbalanced but he'll get there!
- Fox celebrated his first Valentines Day.
- Not only does Fox say "dadada" a lot, he has the cutest squeal when he wants to say something.
- Fox enjoyed the snow and a little ride on the sled for the first time. We took a road trip to New Mexico where it was cold, snowy and fun.

Favorite Things
- Fox is still very much attached to his mommy. He is going through separation anxiety and will search the room when I leave and cry when he can't see me. Little by little he is becoming a bit less attached but he still wants me by his side 24/7.
- He loves being thrown in the air and will smile and laugh.
- He loves it when Finn plays chase or wrestles with him… with mommy watching closely so Finn isn't rough with him. Finn likes to try to ride Fox like a horse sometimes! Eek!
- Fox loves solid food but would prefer everyone else's food over his. He likes sucking on red vines, cucumber and celery when we let him.
- Fox insist on drinking water out of mommy's cup. Whenever I go for a drink he wiggles and grabs at the cup so that he can have some.
- Fox's favorite place is when we (pretty much daily) sit out on a blanket in the front yard, playing with toys, eating snacks and watching Finn play on his bike.
- Fox absolutely loves balls. He gets exciting when he sees one and will chase after it as it rolls away from him.
- Reading stories in bed with his brother, Finn.

Not so Favorite Things
- Having his boogers sucked or face wiped. He still hates it more than anything and will wiggle away and fuss until you let him be.
Stories
about Fox
While mommy cooks and cleans the kitchen Fox will sit on the floor and play in the kid cupboard. One day he crawled all the way into the cupboard and was so quiet playing inside that I wondered where he went. When Finn discovered the fun that Fox was having he just had to join him. They played in the cupboard together laughing for a quite a while. Another day mommy let Fox sit on Finn's trike and pretend to ride it so Finn decided he wanted to ride Fox around on his trike. The two of them rode a little ways in the house before losing their balance. It is so sweet to see the two of them play together (except for when Finn steals Fox's toys, which is pretty much what happens the entire time… hahaha)
