A few weeks ago I took Soren over to my friend Lisa’s house to hang out for a bit. Her kids, Evan and Arabelle were both very excited to meet the new baby. When it came time for Soren to eat, Evan politely asked if he could feed him the bottle. We got him set up on the couch and a lot of cuteness commenced:
As Even was watching Soren hork it down, he shared this behavioral observation, “Boy, Soren sure is a heavy drinker!” Evan, we couldn’t agree more.

So it turns out that having a baby totally consumes your life. . . who knew?! All of the sudden January is coming to a close and I haven’t posted anything since November. That is pathetic. So let me attempt to give you the Reader’s Digest version of the last couple of months.
I got to spend all of November and December at home with Soren. Which is good because Homeboy liked to wake up every two hours, every night. I know, I know, that’s just how babies are, but whatever. I was still very tired. He also wanted to sleep only on my arm. Come to think of it, he only wanted to be awake on my arm. He was really into my arm. After a while he liked to be on the floor because he had some very imortant kicking to do. This pleased Roxy, who really wanted to be in on the action:
We spent our days watching The Price is Right and The Young and The Restless. It was a magical time of sleep deprivation and quality television.
At Soren’s two-week doctor’s appointment we were please to find that he was back up to his birth weight of eight pounds. Apparently, that is the goal. We weren’t too worried because Soren really liked to eat. A lot. So much in fact that at his two-month doctor’s appointment he discovered that he had gained six pounds in six weeks. He weighed in at 14 pounds and was in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. I think that he must have been preparing for his heavyweight Ultimate Fighting Championship match in The Octogon.
These days Soren enjoys smiling, looking at anything with a face and eating his fingers. We’re trying to teach him about our local sports teams, but he his clearly not impressed with the Seahawks last season:
Now Soren begged me not to share this last picture because he’s a little embarassed that he’s not appropriately dressed. But I just can’t help myself because it showcases a) his chubby, chubby cheeks and b) his kick-ass Elvis impersonation:
With that I bid you adieu. Hopefully I’ll post a few more entries before Soren starts pre-school.
