Baby Soren is here!

See?  Much better title!!  So, little Soren was born on July 25th, the day before Katie and Rob's 4th anniversary!  He was 2 weeks late, poor Katie! 
Here are a few of the pictures we took while visiting them in the hospital:

Happy Rob!

New family

Mummi and Ukki and the grandbabies

This was just us holding babies so Amelia could see Soren.  She giggled at him.  :)

So sweet!  Momma and Soren

(Day after Soren was born, Katie looks so good!)

Cute little family! 

These photos were in the order taken, not in the order of priority!  These last two photos are my favorite :)

Misc. Pictures

So, my post titles aren't very interesting right now....  but I have a good one for my next post!  Stay tuned!

Pirate Amelia!  This was for Katie's baby shower back in June, and I couldn't resist dressing Amelia up in baby jeggings, a stripped onesie and a head scarf!  And yes, to top it off, a pirate parrot on her shoulder!  (She loves that parrot!! One of her favorite toys right now)  David and I put this outfit together nearly a month before the shower and we were so excited to surprise Katie with the live decoration!

Just a couple weeks ago, we got together with a few friends, this is Melissa, me and Renee and our girls- Sadie, Amelia and Mylee.  (Just a note, we are missing Melissa's Parker and Becca with Elise and her baby girl bump!)  We went to a little water park in Wilsonville and let the kiddies splash around.  I must say, Amelia prefered the ocean to the water park.  We'll just have to work on her to get her to love this too!

Our last random picture today is Miss Amelia and cousin Ethan!  This picture (minus Amelia's shocked face) is especially sweet!  Ethan was born premature and with a heart that just wasn't working for him.  He has spent a lot of his life in the NICU and has had heart surgery and then a heart transplant in his short little life.  If you can't tell, he is 8 months old.... yeah Amelia is just a little larger then him....  (only 2 lbs, but it looks like a lot)  Having these to meet was so cute, they grabbed at each other and then Amelia decided to grab at his face.  Poor guy!  We had a whole bunch of David's family together on this day.  It was nice for us to meet Ethan and see two cousins, aunts and grandparents. 

June

June has flown by for us!  Our first weekend was spent with David experiencing vertigo, poor guy!  He was sick and couldn't drive for 4 days.  We had planned on heading to Bend for the weekend, but that was postponed for us, instead we went to the ER for David.

We did go to Bend the next weekend and got to enjoy some time with the family.  It was a warm, nice weekend except for one tiny 12 pound baby!  Miss Amelia decided that she did not want to sleep at R&R's house at all.  Which ment there were no naps and she stayed up til midnight both nights!  Seriously...  that was a rough weekend with her.  But, David and I learned that when we are trying to get her to take a nap or sleep not at home, then we need to bring her monkey or elephant security blankets, a sound machine, and a sheet for the pack n play.  HA HA, new parent mistakes....

We also got to help celebrate our newest nephew's baby shower- and Amelia dressed as a pirate!  (I'll post a picture soon!)  We cannot wait til the little man is here, one more week! Unless, of course, he is late like Amelia was....  I hope for Katie's sake he comes right on time.

David and his dad got to enjoy two weekends in Eugene for the Olympic Track and Field Trials!  I was a single mom for a week, hats off to any single mom, it was hard.  I love my daughter, but I just needed a little break once in a while....  (Tho, Grandma, Mummi and Ukki gave me some relief!)  And while David was gone I actually dropped Miss A off in the nursery at church one day.  YEAH!  She is now old enough to go to the nursery- by our choice, not our church's.  We didn't want to inflict an itty bitty on unsuspectings at church.  Glad to have David back this week, just in time for teh 4th of July!

More posts and pics to come this week!
