Happy Birthday Soren



Happy 2nd Birthday Soren.  Soren turned 2 years old on April 30!  Of course we started the "I remember the day you were born..." stories and we officially felt very old.  Soren had a great time.  When I greeted him on his birthday morning with "Happy Birthday" he immediately said that he was going to get presents.  How do they learn that stuff?!  And of course the funny part was that we hadn't gotten him a present. don't worry, he made out fine and yes, we did break down and buy him a bday gift.  Soren enjoyed celebrating his bday with his cousins, Nick and Tim, Grandma, and Aunty Amy and Uncle Gregy.  Grandma and Papa bought Soren a big boy bike!  He isn't great at riding it yet, but he is starting to understand the concept of peddling and loves sitting on his bike.  

Other than Soren's birthday, we have been quite busy.  Bodie is growing very quickly and according to our scale a week ago, he was between 13.5 and 15lbs!  We thought Soren was a big boy but he was a peanut compared.  Speaking of compared, we can't help but compare the two boys with everything. This is what we have come up with so far...Soren was much more smiley and engaging as he was actively smiling at 5 weeks. Bodie is just starting to smile and does not make nearly as much eye contact. Bodie is much more of a cuddle bug and much more laid back.  It will be very interesting to see how his personality develops.  

Its back to work for me tomorrow.  I am not quite ready for this, but ready or not, here work comes.  Bodie will be joining Soren at Devon's daycare and we are confident that he will like it as much as Soren.  It was a strange and very busy maternity leave which included activities such as managing the trailer park, planning the class reunion, helping plan baby showers, and doing a bit of real estate. I just keep telling myself, things will slow down soon...maybe:)
