Soren continues to amaze us.  God continues to amaze us by using this little 2 1/2 foot being.  She is walking, almost running, everywhere.  And she is a climber!  She's mastered getting her rocking horse next to the piano, getting to the bench, and trying to summit the piano itself.  She climbs into her rocking chair and pulls for the top of the dresser.  I will sometimes see her hanging off the side of her crib and changing table.  I feel that I can't turn around...

She has really enjoyed her swim lessons - she is always off and running, we can hardly keep her from jumping in before class actually starts.  While other kids cried as they froze and got dunked, she laughed and splashed.  It's funny to see her personality come out!

She also seems to be quite the disciplinarian.  While at our "Busy Babies" class at the library, she loved diving into the ball pit.  She, again, was fearless and loved it!  But, whenever another little friend threw a ball out, she would hit their hand and say no (or "nah" as she puts it) and go retrieve the ball.  Oh my goodness, I was a little embarrassed.  What's funny is that I have tried all along- well before she could talk to not say no, but they just learn it!!!  She is a t-crosser and i-dotter.  The apple didn't fall far from the tree on that one, I suppose.
