Week 16 - I didn't take my camera out one time that week! This iPhone photo will have to do. This is just after waking up from sleeping 5pm - 7am.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
I got a bit behind these past few weeks! I took a trip to Philly (my first night away from Søren!) with my mom and sister, then my parents were visiting, and just after that Adam's parents came for a few days. So much going on! Good things, though.<br />

Oh my goodness! How did this happen? I missed your 7 month update so I'm going to squash it in with your 8 month update. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Søren,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These past few months have been the best yet. When you were a little teeny tiny, I never wanted you to get any bigger. I wanted to keep you my tiny babe in arms forever. Part of me still wants that and there's a tiny voice in my head screaming <i>'Slow down!! Stay my little squish for always!'. </i>However, I feel like we are really, <i>really</i> getting to know each other now. I hear all the little nuances in your cries - the 'I'm hungry', the 'I'm tired', the 'that was scary mama' and just the plain old 'I'm not getting my way and I am pissed off'. I get you, and you get me. I'm not sure how it's possible but my love for you grows every day. I'm not so anxious for you to stay teeny tiny any more - I like the person you're turning into too much. Being your mom these few months has been especially fun. You say 'mama' now, and you'll call for me in the mornings or if you don't want to go to bed. You're learning to give kisses and it is my favorite freaking thing ever. Currently you love to stand at the mirror and give yourself kisses. Sooo cute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, you are so independent! You're crawling like crazy (that happened somewhere between 7 and 8 months!) and you love to get into everything. This week I have fished out of your mouth: dog hair, an onion peel, a sweet potato peel, paper, leaves, grass, a dry lentil bean and a 4 inch piece of yarn. I have to keep my eyes on you <u>all</u> the time and even so you're like a freakin' Ninja, kid! I'm impressed. Currently, you only want to stand. You stand and do these crazy dance-y push up type things holding onto a chair or a table. It looks a little bit like you're short circuiting. You hold on and walk yourself along whatever you're holding onto.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You LOVE to eat (just like us!!) and are happy with anything we feed you now. Apples? Yes, please! Bananas? Why not! Peas with mint? Gimme them faster! You're also starting to let me know you'd rather have food you can feed yourself because you're pretty sure <i>the job gets done faster that way.</i> I'm fine with that. The last few nights at dinner I made some roasted veggies and put a bunch of chunks of sweet potatoes in front of you and you went to town. You're using both hands to eat, not favoring one over the other yet. Anyway, I'm trying to be laid back about it and let you try things and feed yourself. Plus, we have time to feed ourselves that way! Bonus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took you to Disney World for the very first time on May 14th 2013 and you had SO much fun!!! We stayed all day, way past your bedtime, but you were so happy and good the whole time. You rode the safari at Animal Kingdom, watched a (really loud and fun) street party in africa and a Bollywood street party in asia (which you slept through!). We let you play in the grass for the first time on a little lawn near Expedition Everest. You met a sweet little Aussie boy named Finn there and you both had fun playing in the dirt and grass for the first time ever. At Epcot we took you on Maelstrom. You loved it! So brave! We got you a little Viking helmet to wear for your first birthday party in a few months. We ran into your Uncle Ken, Aunt Colleen and cousins Rory, Liam and Ronan. Rory is one of your favorite people, so when you saw him there I think your little baby mind was blown. We went on other rides (you really liked the Nemo ride and looking at the Manatees) and there seemed to be a soft spot in your heart for the giant fountain on the way out. We stopped so you could watch the water show. You were captivated. When we left, we strapped you in your carseat and were pulling out of the parking lot when I said to your dad, 'He's so quiet! What's he doing?' Sure enough, before we even got out of the parking lot you were fast asleep. When we got home your dad scooped you out of the truck and changed your diaper, then laid you in your crib. You woke up but fell right to sleep when you hit the crib mattress and didn't make a peep all night. The next morning you woke up with big smiles on your face! We were stoked you had so much fun, because we did, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so excited for what's to come. You are the sweetest and most fun. </div>

<br />
<b>Watching: </b>Game of Thrones! The third season just started, here's hoping it's good! We've also started watching the show Vikings from the History channel. Pretty good. Oh! And movie wise, we just watched Rise of the Guardians which was super cute!<br />
<br />
<b>Thinking about:</b> Still have a bit of wanderlust. I want our little family to travel! We're going to make it happen, I think later this year. Also thinking we may take a little trip over to the east coast of Florida for a night. I think a little getaway, just the three of us, would do us good. :)<br />
<br />
<b>Reading: </b>Oh, man. I just finished the last book in the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. I loved it. Now I have to wait a year for the next book! Such a bummer. I'm not sure what I'll start next, but I know the last book (ever) in the Sookie Stackhouse series comes out next month. All I have to say is Sookie better end up with Eric, or I'm going to hurt someone.<br />
<br />
<b>Listening:</b> Right now the 'tiny ugly germs' song on Yo Gabba Gabba. In general, I've been listening to the <a href="http://homefries.com/shows/the-joy-the-baker-podcast/">Joy the Baker podcast</a>, the simple mom podcast, the uhh yeah dude podcast....lots of podcasts. Søren and I have been having Weezer dance parties which has been excellent! Weezer is one of those bands that just makes me smile. I'm happy to share them with Søren.<br />
<br />
<b>Making me happy: </b>We've been taking family walks together every day. Our goal is to do a mile a day in April. A simple, attainable goal. So far so good! It's really been nice and it's been a great little block of time to spend together. Also, beach weather, salsa, sandals, maxi dresses, margaritas, sunshine, all things summery and lovely. I know spring just started, but I have been in such a summer mood! I'm living in maxi dresses and sandals.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05884631076633590718noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919072708565837386.post-62366144993472367942013-04-06T11:54:00.000-07:002013-05-04T18:15:00.582-07:008 // 52<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This month has been my favorite so far, I think. It has brought about so many new things! Søren is much more independent. He's so much more aware and interactive. Also, there were a lot of firsts this month! We went on our first family road trip to Nashville. That's been one of my goals for this year (and in general): travel more! Have more adventures! Nashville was definitely an adventure. Driving 11 hours with a 5 1/2 month old is kinda crazy. But fun. He was really good for the most part! We just stopped a lot more to let him wiggle and stretch. And by the end of the day he was Over It. So was I. ;) It was so much fun visiting Adam's family. Søren was the star, and really? I totally get it. He's pretty special. Anyway he got to meet so much of his family up there and they all loved him to pieces. He learned how to wave while we were there, and mommy and daddy got to go on their first date since before he was born! It was great. See? So many firsts! We went to some if our favorite Nashville places - antique shops, coffee shops, cute boutiques. I miss Nashville sometimes, and all it's people. We met up with some old and new friends and I love them all so much! I also discovered fried pickles and stocked up on cookie butter from Trader Joe's. The night before and the morning that we left it snowed. So technically Søren saw his fist snow, which was lovely, but I was happy to be on our way back to sunnier skies and palm trees. By the time we finally got home that day Søren was stoked to be home.<br />

Since then he's also had his first solid food: avocado! He's not too sure about it yet. He gets excited at first but then once he's had enough he pretends to choke and cry. It's all very dramatic, and I have no idea where he could have possibly gotten that from.....right. I am so loving this age, though, because he's a little bit mobile, but not to the point that I'm chasing him around. He's doing this thing my mom says is called 'creeping' (apparently this is a thing?) where he sort of scoots around or pushes himself forward on his knees. He hasn't quite got the arms and legs coordinated, though it's enough to get to a toy a few feet away. I also love that he's still little enough for me to scoop up whenever I want for some snuggles, but he's big enough to play on his own with some toys while I fold laundry, etc. Yes, this is a good age. He's looking more boyish and less babyish every day. I'm trying to be mindful of that and stay in the moment and soak in all the baby goodness. He's already fitting into some 12-18 month items I thought he wouldn't be anywhere close to wearing yet. We don't have his 6 month appointment for another couple of weeks. I can't wait to see how much he has grown!</div>

Søren,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, like every day, you fell asleep in my arms. You slept for a bit, woke up, ate some more and fell back to sleep. You woke up another time and smiled at me, still mostly asleep and put your cheek up against my cheek. You climbed around on me, buried your head in my chest, and fell back asleep. As I watched you sleeping, I caught a glimpse of the man that you'll be. Instead of the soft, pink baby shoulders will be broad manly shoulders. Instead of baby soft skin and rolls, there will be strong arms and muscle. Your smile that lights up my heart will only shine brighter. One day it will light up some special girl's heart in a whole new way. But more than that, I saw the sort of man you'll be. Kind, the way your father is, making people feel comfortable in their own skin and loving the unlovable. Fiercely protective. Thoughtful. Stubborn. Flawed. Loved. Positive. Headstrong. We named you Søren Robert Magnus. To us it means great bright warrior. You are and will be a bright light in this ever darkening world. A beacon of love. You emanate a sweetness and a pure joy. I feel so honored to be your mama, you are truly something special. And so, as the days move along and each day you grow more independent, a bit closer to 'little boy' and a bit further from 'little baby', I'll find solace in this small glimmer I saw today of the man you will become. Sleep sweet, little lion cub. Big adventures await.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Love,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mama</div>

Today, Søren's cousin Erin came over to spend some time with him. It's his 6 month birthday today. What! I have a kid that's half a year old!!! How did that happen? Anyway, Erin came over and got here before Søren woke up. He decided to sleep in until 9:30 this morning (which I'm totally not complaining about). So, when he woke up Erin and I went in to get him. He was all smiles, and then saw Erin and was a little confused. Then the smiles came back and he was ready to have some fun. We changed him and put him on a blanket on the floor to play and it was go time. He's so entertaining. And he's lucky to have so many cousins and so much family who loves him so much! </div>

Let me tell you, that little charmer is going to be crawling before I can turn around. The baby yoga going on was awesome. His downward dog (puppy?) is on point. I'm totally not rushing him. Can we freeze time right here? He's still a baby, he sleeps pretty well through the night, the diapers are really not bad, I can dress him however I dang well please, he lets me snuggle him whenever I want, he's not mobile yet…..I mean. C'mon. I know I will love each age, but this age just seems so good. I'm trying not to miss it, to savor those naps he takes in my arms, and the moments when he wakes us up at night. All of it, because before long he will be grown and I will miss this sweet and special time. </div>
