He loved his first time decorating cookies.












He really enjoyed decorating the tree too.












Still waking up on Christmas morning, looking so cute.










Me and my prego belly.











Who doesn't like Mr. Potato Head? Thanks Toddy : )

Halloween

I asked Soren what he wanted to be and he said a rhino, so I went online and found a rhino costume.












Have you ever seen a rhino this cute before?












Striking his Zoolander pose : )












One of my favorite comments from him for the night were, "How exciting!" Also when I asked him if he liked trick or treating he said, "It's my favorite!"

I love my family and my prego belly!

Some of Soren's latest cutest phrases.

"No fine." He uses this when I ask him if he needs something and he means, no, I'm fine.

"Neo, poo poo diaper." Yes, he has the Neo doll from the Matrix and he told us that Neo has a dirty diaper, lol.

"How 'bout dat?"

"Hi baby. How you doing? Doing good?" He pats my belly and says this. I love it!

"Mama, down please." This is how Soren wakes me up in the morning. He comes into our room, over to my side of the bed, and says this.

"Oh Man!"

I'll say, "I love you" or "You are so cute" and Soren will say, "No! Momma yuv you!" or "No! Momma cute!"

Soren, growing up.

Here is Soren displaying his art skills.












Here he is showing off his new birthday bear.












He is really into cars now.












He was so excited about his new big boy/toddler bed!









He remembers the stories from books and will sit and read to himself.

Soren's level of understanding is amazing.

Tonight, after I put Soren down to sleep and left the room, he screamed and kind of freaked out for a few minutes. So I came back in, looked at him and asked, "Why are you acting like this?" He said, "Umm," pausing to think, then stayed silent for a moment. Then I said, "Honey, you look so tired. Why don't you make a good choice and lay down with your bears and go to sleep?" He then answered with an understanding, "Yeah." He then immediately laid down, and went to sleep.

Soren being super cute!
