Soren the Gourmet!

With the encouragement of our pediatrician we've begun offering Soren solid food. We weren't sure how he would react, but so far he's eaten everything we've thrown at him, including the pureed chicken thighs whose texture made mom a little ill. I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise given how much this little guy loves to eat. So far, his clear favorite is sweet potato, even more so than sweet fruits like banana or apple. Which I suppose is good considering I had no idea how much pureed sweet potato I would end up with the first time we made it--our freezer is now brimming with the stuff! In addition to the foods above, he's also had butternut squash, green beans, avocado, and pumpkin. We're so happy he's such a great little eater!

Soren is sick and tired of all the damn paparazzi up in his hizzouse

A whole new perspective

Having decided that five months on his back was long enough, thank you very much, Soren has decided that he is only really happy whilst upright.  Although his center of gravity is located somewhere around his ears, he still can sometimes stand with only minimal supervision (and peril to life and limb)
