Just Because I Think My Boy is Really Cute

Babies

While we were in Utah we got to meet my new baby cousin Sienna. She is so adorable. I know they are the same size, but I promise Soren is two months older...he is just a little guy.

It's About Time...

We went to Utah for Richard's cousin's wedding and while we were there we blessed Soren...yes, it's late, but we (I) wanted to do it with family. Thank you to everybody who came and shared this special day with us! (PS...more pictures to come later, waiting for some pics taken by other people).

It's About Time

We had a family picture fiasco about 10 years ago and haven't done family pictures since. But seeing as we are all much older, there are two new additions, and my brother Justin will be leaving on his mission this summer my mom decided it was time to try again...maybe there will be no tears this time...

They turned out soooo great! The photographer was fantastic with Soren and we got so many great smiles from him. We are so happy with how they turned out.

Enjoy these for the next five years because that is probably when we will do this again, when both of my brothers are back from missions and there will probably be at least one new person in the picture. Enjoy! :)

When it comes to Soren I am so emotional it is kind of ridiculous. I thought the crazy emotions would end with pregnancy, but they didn't. I love this boy so much I can hardly stand it sometimes. I could just play with him and watch him sleep all the time. He has brought such a sweet and loving spirit into our home, I don't know what we would do without him.

4 Months

(I was trying to get a picture of him on his tummy, but he wouldn't stay there long enough...)

-Weight: 13 lbs 14 oz (25th percentile)

-Height: 24 inches (25th percentile)

-Still in 0-3 month clothes

-Enjoys being in his swing

-Doesn't hate his car seat so much

-Loves to suck on his fist, or anything he can get his hands on

-Rolls from his tummy to his back

-Giggles

-Smiles a lot

-Makes a lot of noise...cries less...yells more :)

-Sleeps about the same, wakes up around 12:30 and 4:30, not super consistent, but this is usually the ballpark

-Can't sleep without being swaddled...double swaddled actually

-Puts himself to sleep pretty well

-Enjoys playing by himself, but doesn't like to lay on his back for very long...it will be a good day when he can sit up by himself

-Loves to smile and talk to himself in the mirror

-Enjoys tummy time more now that he can hold his head up and his face isn't buried in the floor
