Happy half birthday

Soren Soren is a wonderfully happy baby. He has a smile for everyone (very unlike his big sister). He loves to smile at any child who pays him any attention. He is finally starting to take longer naps, I think it is adding to his better mood of late. He has really taken to baby food (I've been making my own) and loves to eat those little puffs. He already tries to grab the spoon so he can feed himself. It gets to be a bit of a mess but he actually gets a lot in his mouth. He can never get enough of his brothers and sisters, but especially his brothers. Ethan can always get him to stop crying by clapping and he loves to fall asleep on Jacob. If he falls asleep lying beside Jacob he scooches over to be as close to him as possible. It's really sweet to see my boys being best friends.

He has totally mastered the art of the Army crawl. He can get anywhere in the house except up the stairs. He sometimes changes it up and does the inch worm. He sticks his butt in the air and pushes forward. He gets on his knees and elbows but not hands yet. I think the crawling is maybe a week or 2 away. I'm sure if I'm happy about that. He loves being barefoot. Any time he has socks on he pulls them off before I can even get him to his carseat. If he's fussing a lot and he is in pj's if I let his feet loose he gets happy in seconds. I don't have the usual statisics since his dr. appointment isn't until next week. I have high hopes for it even though he has been sick with the same cold for about 2 months. I'm starting to get a little concerned now.
I love having this little boy in our family and I know we would feel lost without him.
