Well, Soren Paul has had a very exciting first month of life! He's met four of his Great Grandparents. He's had an overnighter at Grandma and Grandpa Hines' house. He was in a car accident, ate out at a restaurant (well, I ate).
I'm loving my little boy so much.
He is alarmingly strong, already holding his head up and still, gazing around at things and making eye contact with people. His little eyes are still blue, and I'm hoping they stay that way. His hair is coming in longer and thicker, and is still dark brown. He's getting bigger and longer, filling out his newborn onesies longways, but they still hang off his skinny body on the sides.
He loves to stick his fingers behind his pacifier and fling it dramatically out of his mouth. He gets pretty good distance with it, but then wants it back. It's not a game yet, but will be in the not too distant future. (He'll discover his Riger mommy always wins.)
His hands and arms are always outstretched. I love it when he holds my finger with both hands at once. Sometimes his tiny fingers interlock as if in prayer, and it makes my heart melt.
He sleeps at night very well, but is attached to people during the day and loves to be held and cuddled. Not a big fan of being put down for naps. Also not a big fan of being woken to have a diaper change. Apparently the cold wipes are a little alarming after an afternoon catnap.
Bathtime? Right now, we're not sure about it. He dislikes being submerged in warm water, but dislikes being removed from the warm water even more. Poor boy lives with polar bear parents who keep the house a little chilly!
Okay, to avoid rambling too much about my boy, I'll just put up some pics. Soren can't wait for his cousin to be born any day now, too!
awe, baby soren is getting big and is such a cutie. hope does the same thing with her paci - it's hilarious! drama queen..and king!
