I Hit (fill in the blank here)...

Poor Bodie...its all about Soren once again...

As Soren becomes more verbal he is trying to figure out how to express his emotions. While he sometimes says "I am mad" or "Soren is sad", he more often says that he wants to hit whatever he is mad at (and sometimes actually does hit it...he has definately come into the terrible twos!). The other day, he woke up and said that he wanted to see Beepa (his grandfather) and I explained to him that we could not see Beepa today as Beepa is away on vacation. Soren's response..."I want to hit Beepa's vacation!"

Another cute story...Soren, once again, said he wanted to see his Beepa one morning and I explained that we could not see Beepa because "Beepa is working ON a house right now". Soren's response..."Get off the roof Beepa!".

Bodie is cute and smiley and LOVES to be held. He remains a lot more chill than Soren ever was. He is a big boy and we think he may grow up to be our football player, or sumo wrestler, we aren't sure which yet!

Happy Birthday Daddy

Happy 30th Birthday Daddy!

We got to celebrate Kevin (Daddy's) birthday with all of the nephews and neice. Kevin's 30th birthday was almost as wild as his 20th birthday. A bunch of guys running into each other, screaming, and falling over. The only difference is the the guys at his 20th birthday were drinking from red keg cups and the guys at his 30th birthday were using sippy cups!

We're in for trouble...

From day one, Soren has had a very strong personality. When he is goofy, he is really goofy, and when he is mad, he is really mad. Fortunately, most of the time he is just goofy. As we have said many times before, the best way to sum up his personality is that of Chris Farley. Lately, we have become even more weary of Soren's similarities to Chris Farley. We recently spent an afternoon spinning the boys around in the backyard. Soren was getting so dizzy that he would walk and fall like a drunk kid, and he LOVED it! He asks to get dizzy all the time now...We are a little worried about what this means when he gets into his "experimentation phase" in adolesence.

Bodie on the otherhand continues to be a laid back little fellow. He is starting to smile a lot more and especially likes talking to dad. He will lay very quietly in a swing or chair as long as there are many people around. However, if he is alone with someone, he demands to be held at all times. Little bugger. This is so different from Soren at this age who would sit by himself for hours and talk away, completely entertained by himself. We have decided that Bodie got a few more of mom's genes and Soren got a few more of dad's.
