If you've got 'em, flaunt 'em! Soren loves to flash his new teeth by squealing, screaming, and grinning.

Bouncing back! The Townsend household is back in action, aside from a lingering sinus infection for mom and a rotten tummy that has been keeping Soren up at night. Hopefully now that he's finished off his antibiotics we'll be back to 100% in no time.

Seven months old! We were only able to get a rather pathetic picture to mark seven months, as Soren has been a very unhappy little dude. He has croup, a double ear infection, and in the midst of all that popped his second tooth! Mom's sick too, and dad was out of town for work so we headed up to Duluth for some TLC from grandma and grandpa. We're on the mend now though!

Cue the Hallelujah Chorus!!! Soren has finally popped his first tooth! We were about a day away from calling an exorcist, so it came none too soon. Hopefully we can all get a little more sleep and get back to enjoying a happy little man! And maybe, just maybe, the drool faucet will get turned off.

Here's Soren in all his Ole glory, thanks to Grandma Savanna and Aunt Vanessa and Uncle Eli!

Soren's first Christmas was tons of fun. He liked unwrapping his presents, and thought that the paper and ribbons were almost as fun as the actual gifts.
We hosted a party on New Year's Eve. Soren was not amused by his party hat. He quickly went to bed in order to escape further embarassment, and managed to sleep through all the ruckus. We spent all day New Year's day lounging in our pajamas in our newly finished basement family room!
