Happy Birthday, Soren!


May 18, 2008: 3 pounds 10.5 ounces, 15 3/4 inches long


April, 2009: Almost 1! I nearly forgot how bald he was.


April, 2010: Riding the carousel at the zoo


Easter, 2010: Playing with his favorite friend, Mae

It didn't take him long to grasp the whole egg hunting thing
once he figured out that treats ("teets!") were inside...

May, 2010: Sharing a cup of coffee with mama.

Two years and one day ago the neonatologists were in our hospital room talking about the neurological and physical risks that Soren would face if he was born two months early. The next morning we prayed that our baby would be able to breathe when he was born. Today our sweet guy is the happiest, healthiest toddler I've ever met. Other than a handful of colds and the rare fever, he has not been sick. Our early intervention specialist who sees him each month says he exceeds nearly every developmental milestone for two year olds born at term. We couldn't feel luckier.

Happy 2nd birthday, Soren. You are loved.

There is NO way he's two. You are pulling my leg.

Well happy birthday, little S. I wish so badly I could meet you and we could have a conversation about the universe.

What does Soren want for his bday?

Happy birthday, big guy! You and Delaney have matching Easter baskets. Probably because you're both totally awesome.
