Felix Wilder is four years old! Over the weekend we got to celebrate this fun loving, goofy boy in so many ways! From spending time with each of his grandparents to playing at several new parks and enjoying the 80 degree weather, we soaked up the sunshine and our sunshine boy. This year Felix made the jump out of toddlerhood and into boyhood. It is so wildly bittersweet to watch him leave behind baby and toddler and jump into this next phase.

We love how curious and sweet Felix has become this year, especially as a big brother and I am constantly adding to the “Felix quotes” journal I have because the things he says just make my heart explode in either sentimentality or hilarity. Stuff like “Mom, what does Harry Powder (he means Potter) do for work?” and “Mom you don’t need to use your blinker at a round about” as well as all of the funny and creative names he makes up for us when we play house or restaurant… “This girl’s name is Salami, and this girl is also Salami and this baby over here is Dorin Bumpa.” I love that Felix makes friends wherever he goes and always wants to play with Dorothy right when she wakes up.

I wasn’t sure if Felix would be up for four year old portraits this year because he is less and less impressed with photoshoots these days, but when I asked him about incorporating some of his favorite things in the photos he was all about it. From the cop car to the overalls and the cars shirt to the firetruck, these photos represent our four year old perfectly… silly faces and all <3
