Soren @ 1 and a half years


Soren is clearly too little to ask about his favorites, so I'll just fill you in. He has had a rough few months, but seems to finally be coming out of his misery, and is starting to enjoy life a little more. Since February the little guy had 6 different ear infections, an allergic reaction to penicillin, and teething, all wrapped into a nice little bow. It hasn't been fun...for any of us. About two weeks ago, he had a little surgery done to have ear ventilation tubes put in. So far everything has been peachy, it is so hard to see your kids in pain.














He is picking up new words like crazy, and is so frustrated that he can't communicate better, which leads to tantrums. Oh, the joys. He has one word in particular that gets used in abundance, "Nandy"...rhymes with Candy. The kid is a sugar feign! It's hard to tell what Soren is particularly attached to toy wise because he always wants to be doing what Leif and Sophi are doing. But, he does like to play with trains.  Outside, he loves playing in his "cozy coupe" or jumping on the trampoline with Sophi.
Soren loves shoes, he always is bring his shoes to me wanting to put them on.
It makes me sad to see him growing so fast, but it is also exciting to be opening a new chapter of our lives. We are out of the baby stages, and going and doing things is getting easier all the time.

Sophi @ 2 and a half years









This little lady is a spit fire. Phew. She is a dare devil to the max, loves her brothers to pieces, and is seriously the sweetest thing ever. Until she's not. Haha. Isn't that the way it goes?

                 







    "There was a little girl,
       Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
        When she was good,
    She was very good indeed,
 But when she was bad she was horrid."
                 



That's my Soph, she even has the curl. Haha. She is still Leif's apprentice, weilding the trade of toddler destruction. But, now that Leif goes to Preschool 3x a week, her and Soren are as thick as thieves.


We love our Loafs! She is very smart, she knows all her colors, and talks incredibly well. Everyone thinks she is older than she really is because of her vocabulary.
