Soren Andrew - 17 months

What?! Seventeen months already?

 We've been having a lot of fun lately. In case you couldn't tell...

And it's still pretty easy to get distracted...

 Or decide to be a little ornery...

 But we are learning that dandelions and bubbles are fun to blow, that sidewalk chalk comes in lots of pretty colors, that friends make playtime better and that stuffed animals and mamas (and maybe daddies and other family members ;) ) love bisous from a certain boy. 

And Mama is learning that she likes to over-edit her photos... 

Delightful December

December was pretty busy with Christmases on all sides of the family and at work, school and Bass Pro. Check out all our December photos on Flickr, including this "split screen" gem, both Christmas shots, of Mama and Soren.

We also loaded more videos on YouTube, so look around for those on our channel. Here are some favorites:

Bad Blogger

Sigh! I've been a super-bad blogger, and I've been blaming it on Soren walking. In truth, I really started slacking last August, and I have only posted when baby-starved grandmas and aunts request it. So, to catch up, I'm supplementing posts by making albums on flickr and posting videos to YouTube like a crazy person.

Check out these photos:
Awesome August
Superb September
Outstanding October
Novel November

And to get you started on YouTube, here are a few of my favorites:

New photos

Soren's new (13-month) professional photos came in the mail today. These are a few of my favorites.

 

Nature Boys

Soren and I showed Daddy the pine forest that we learned about during the latest Babes in the Woods program at Burr Oak Woods. We had so much fun finding little bits of nature to play with, touch and explore. I love spending time with my nature boys!
