Soren the Dancing King
Soren's latest moves. What can we say, the boy has style (12/31/07, 15 months)!
Stack it up, stack it up, stack it uuuuup. Proud of his accomplishment (1/21/08, 16 months).

Reading time
Soren loves to read books, sometimes ten in a row. He is totally into this book right now, "Andy Warhol's Colors," given to him by the Douglas Family (thanks guys!). The pictures are obviously cool, but he also digs the text and making the animal sounds (1/26/08, 16 months old).
Up to date pics
Soren likes to play peek-a-boo with the curtain, even though he looks like he's seventeen in this one. He's not. In this one he's 15. Months. Sorry, all you females. He can't date yet.
Loving bath-time!
Coolest 'do in town. Ticklish beyond belief Soren is. Put your hand near his neck and he cringes... just like his dad.
Dad was tired. Soren was tired. "Soren, do you wanna lay down and nap with dad?" He said yes, came on up, laid down and off to sleep we went. Mom caught us in the act.
The handsomest mom and son in the UNIVERSE. This is Jared writing, by the way (UNBIASED opinion).

Christmas 2007
Soren instinctively knew the drill. He grabbed one of his presents, like he knew it was his (there were 3 other person's presents under there), and started tearing the ribbon off. He then paused and looked up at mom like, "Is this ok?" Mom said, "Yeah, that one's yours," and he tore it up.
He loved his stocking stuffer, stackable cups.
Booty!
Overjoyed with his hide and squeak eggs!
Yeah. These dolphins float, each in his/her (as it were) own dolphin life-preserving ring. They each whistle a different note of a complete scale (do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do) when you tap them down into the water. They are VERY talented dolphins. And one of the coolest - no - THE coolest bath toy ever invented or conceived of by man.

Soren at 10 months, on the way home from Petersen reunion, July 24, 2007. Made Daddy's day!
The lengths dad goes to to entertain The Man (April 9, 2007 - almost 7 months old)... That's Soren who's almost 7 months old even though he's acting older than his dad in this one.

Making faces is fun to do.
Soren's head is half his Dad's size, but his smile is bigger. You win the smile contest, Soren!Soren's sense of humor has always been great - even before he could sit up (here he is sitting up with the help of his Bumbo chair - thanks Kate and Andy)!

Feeling totally connected
The day I took this picture was a perfect day. I felt so connected to Soren. I didn't have to wonder what he needed throughout the day, I just knew. He is such an awesome little person. I love being his mom!
