Grandfather comes to town

So we were lucky to have my dad pop by for a couple hours whilst on business trip. Got a couple good pictures with Soren ( or should I say Søren ) being his normal jolly self.

Going through the Loot!

The Giggle Extractor

Normally in the afternoon, after his nap and before his 3PM crankerpotomas appt, Soren can get a little loopy. Since I take the pictures, Mom is left to exact the giggles. Luckily she is an expert giggle extractor, exacting appropriate giggleness in spades.

Bouncing the Bounce out

Recently Soren's GMa felt compelled to buy him a shiny new toy. So remember the toys babies used to get put in in the doorways where they could jump up and down? You know, the ones that looked (and probably were) deathtraps? Like all cool things they have been "safety-ified" but luckily Soren doesnt know any difference. If I didnt know any better, I would think that he loved this bouncer more than he loves his parents. As it turns out, bouncers are much like baby crack, as you can see below.

Getting started with the bouncing

This is literally after forty five minutes of bouncing. Thought the kid was going to bring the house down.

Just Cause

Soren, Vampire Bat

As his unexpecting prey walks into his path, Soren, Vampire bat, swoops ....

RONK!

Apparently the only thing more headache inducing than hearing Soren's upset, banshee-like wail, is my proposed solution to this.

The results speak for themselves. I'm just sayin'....

Caught!

Naked Baby!

Rocking the tummy time, pt 2.

So Soren used to hate tummy time. Hate like the Poles hate the Russians. Just despises.

Sometime in the last two weeks or so though he has come around to the fact that maybe being on his tummy isnt the worst thing ever. He has managed to get more adept at flipping himself over and now sometimes even smiles whilst on tummy. Of course he still has his nemesis G. Ravity to deal with, constantly pulling at his brobdingnagian head. But I think the neck muscles are starting to win ...

You would have never seen this image a month ago.

Playing with his Maya on his stomach. Which I suppose sounds better than playing with Maya on his back.

This is literally a quarter of a second before Maya swats at Soren.
