It's That Time

I am sitting here watching Soren play with his toys on the floor.  And as I look at his forehead, which currently has two small bruises on it, I realize...we have reached that time.  That time when he will probably constantly have bumps, bruises and scratches.  He is so busy and always exploring.  I think it is inevitable...he is all boy.  A boy that doesn't mind getting a bump on his head as long as it means he found what he was looking for or accomplished the task at hand.

-Is off of baby food and onto finger foods and table food

-Loves his new carseat, it is no longer torture to be in the car

-Diaper changes are the new torture chamber

Hair Cut

It was time...it took me about 2 weeks to come to terms with the fact that Soren needed a haircut, and yes, there were tears shed over this realization.  I knew that as soon as we cut his hair he would look much more like a little boy than a baby and I wasn't sure I was ready for that.  But after prepping myself for two weeks we finally did it.
