Almost 10 Months Old


We have a goofball! He makes about 10,000 different faces a minute. Each age truly is more fun.

How about that top left photo? Cracks me up. He'll probably hate me for that photo when he's 12. But for now he doesn't care!

What I am loving about this current age:

• High fives
• Proud smiles when he does something new.
• Watching him explore the house. I love seeing him grab toys, pull up on everything, look out windows. Downside: my floors are never clean enough. He always finds something to put in his mouth.
• The comfort he finds in his blanket. He grabs a corner of it while sucking his thumb.
• I've started getting kisses from him. The other day I was laying on the floor, and he crawled over and kissed my forehead. It melted my heart.
• Whistling...he whistles! I didn't know this would be a thing, but it is.
• He likes being chased. Just a few days ago he started playing with us. He crawls at super speed and laughs while you crawl behind him. Yesterday he tried to get Samson to chase him, but it didn't really work.
• Rolling toys. He started by rolling a cylinder around, and then we showed him a car can roll, too. I'll be in the kitchen and hear the rattle of the car on tile.


It's a (2 month old) boy!





This is what I've been up to in my absence. This little guy. He'll be two months old on Tuesday, and he has been such a delight! Everything about him has been so easy so far, and we are definitely spoiled.  I cannot say that I feel like a "mom," but I have enjoyed snuggling with him and winning his smiles.
Samson is pretty curious about him and tries to steal kisses when we're not looking (and when we are). I cannot wait for them to play together.
Daniel has been amazing, too. Those first couple of weeks when I was recovering, he made sure that everyone had just what they needed. He is starting a collection of frisbees, fox tails and nerf guns to play with Soren when he is able. I know he is excited for that time, and I'm excited to watch them play.


Our Big News


7 months pregnant. Yes. We have waited a long time to put it online, but with only a couple of months left and the bump being a bit more obvious, we decided it was time. Our wee Wiese is due in the first days of October.

We are a mixture of excitement and nerves; for a long time the pregnancy was surreal (I didn't really start showing until a month and a half ago), but now that this baby will be here in 9 weeks or so, we're nervous.

The morning of the anatomy ultrasound we decided to find out if we were having a girl or a boy, with the intention of keeping that to ourselves until baby showers. Now our family knows, and with that friends in San Antonio, but we still have a couple of showers in Houston.


So, in two months we go from a family of three (we count Samson), to a family of four!
