Look at this big boy! We couldn't be more proud.
After some baby physical therapy and a lot of kneeling playtime practice to build strength, Soren is FINALLY CRAWLING! He put it together the day before his birthday and he is so excited about his new skill! I guess what they say is true - as soon as you accept that they will never crawl and move on, they figure it out!
Things are changing so fast now. It seems like he's learning a new trick every time he wakes up from a nap! And we really need to catch up on baby proofing!
I made Soren a birthday "cake" of zucchini bread with frosting and strawberries. Much as I expected, Soren loved the strawberries, tolerated the bread, and hated the frosting. So mom got to eat the rest :D
Spring is finally here! The ice has finally melted in the sea outside our apartment, and I don't think I ever realized how much I missed the view of moving water. The Finns are, much like Wisconsinites, eager to get back into the mode of spring. I haven't seen shorts yet, but everyone has switched to their lighter jackets and I even saw someone paddleboarding the other day!
The sun is back to turning our patio into a sauna in the morning, so the cats are in heaven.
We're in the final stages of prepping for our trip to the United States. Finland had daylight savings this weekend, which we are actively ignoring with Soren's schedule to make our trip home easier. In fact, we moved his bed time in the other direction. Hopefully we can get the time difference down to 6 or even 5 hours before we fly home, which should make everyone happier when we land. For now, if means we have a 1 year old going to bed at 9PM, which makes me feel super rebellious!
