Nature Preserve

Richard's grandma was in town visiting this weekend so we all took advantage of a gorgeous day and had a picnic at a local nature preserve.

Easter

Happy Easter!

(Soren looks really happy in this picture, I know...it's been a long weekend with essentially no naps. But all things considered he has been really good!)

Nursery

After 6 months Soren's nursery is finally complete, it is nothing fancy, but I am happy with it. :)

Rice Cereal

Today Soren started rice cereal (his first experience with anything other than milk), and he LOVED it. At first he wasn't so sure about it, so I just put a little bit on his lips for him to lick...and he was sold! After that he kept grabbing my hand trying to shove the spoon in his mouth as fast as he could...I guess he was ready for some food!!!

6 MONTHS

CANNOT believe Soren has been in our home for half of a year, where has the time gone???

-15 lbs 14 oz (25th percentile)

-25 5/8 inches (25th percentile)

-Exclusively breastfed (until the day after his 6 month birthday)

-Rolls from back to tummy

-Because of the last accomplishment he no longer sleeps swaddled (that was an ADJUSTMENT!)

-Has become a side and tummy sleeper

-Often only wakes up once to eat, but not guaranteed yet

-Tries to eat everything

-Hates the process of being strapped into things (stroller, carseat, etc), but is fine once he is in

-Gives Richard a BIG smile when he gets home from work

-Loves to play peek-a-boo

-Is in a very needy stage (mom doesn't get much done during the day)

-Went to California to meet his great grandparents on mom's side

-Likes to play with the toys on his carseat and swing

-Getting close to sitting up

-LOVES to play with/eat his feet

Sleeping

A couple of weeks ago Soren started rolling over and therefore lost his swaddle for sleeping.  It was a rough transition, but I must say, he was cute swaddled, but this is just adorable!  Can't get enough of him!
