Our purple people-eater

I know, I know -- it's been a long time since my last post! My excuse is that I have been stumbling through a newsletter contract I accepted before Soren was born, thinking "how hard can it be to put together a simple four-page newsletter with a newborn? Won't he sleep all the time, etc., etc.?" HA! is all I can say in hindsight. But a smashing newsletter will be going to the printer on Monday, and then I'll breathe a huge sigh of relief and settle down to mothering Soren full-time.

I've been steadily taking photographs of our boy, however, and have lots to share, so I'll pop a few up here and add more in the days to come.

The Baby Bjorn is Soren's newest favorite carrier, worn here by Dad:
And when we take him on walks outside, we zip Soren into this adorable purple fleece suit. At first we called him "Our Li'l Grape."

Then the family that handed down the suit to us informed us they always called their daughter "Our Li'l Eggplant" when she was zipped up in it.
And the latest nickname is "Our Purple People-Eater"... or Mr. Purple Smiley Face!
