Who could resist?

Before Soren's bath.

Thanks for everyone's comments on my last post. It is so fun to see who is out there! Still don't know my mysterious friend from China - oh well.

Here are several cute pictures of Soren and me from the last couple weeks. Soren has had a rough time this last week. For the last 7 days he has had diarrhea and a painful diaper rash. My doctor has been out of town until today, so we will see him this afternoon. However, we did visit another doctor in town who was kind of helpful. He didn't help much with his advice for the diarrhea. He got us on pedyalite, but also told me to do Soy formula for a day. When I tried to switch back to Soren's normal formula his stomach got really upset. So I'm still on the soy.... kind of confused as to how to switch him back and looking forward to my normal doctor's advice. But our substitute doctor had awesome advice for the diaper rash. He told me to use generic vaseline and to cake it on about 1/3 inch after every changing. It works! It's the best!

Before bedtime.

One nice thing about visiting the doctor is learning how much Soren has grown. He still wieghs 15 lbs, but is now 25.5 inches long - an inch and a half longer than our last visit two weeks ago. He has outgrown all th 0-3 months and even fills up most of the 3 months. The 3-6 months are the best fit, but can still be a little short on him. Where did I get this big baby?

Before church

I love the outfit he is wearing in this last picture. My friend Shannon from Savannah gave it to me - she has excellent taste. When Soren was first born, I was so excited for him to wear it. Well, it didn't fit because it is for 3-6 months. So I hung it in the closet and practically forgot about it until my mom visited and organized all his clothes. Thank goodness we found it again - the little hat is already too small but the sweater and pants fit perfect. He is so cute!
