RJ Meets Uncle Eli and Aunt Jodie













Rowan got to meet his Uncle Eli-Theo's brother and Aunt Jodie last weekend! Eli and Jodie live in Portland, OR and came for a visit on their way back from a vacation/friends wedding in Cancun, Mexico. I am jealous of their beautiful suntans!
Eli and Rowan share a special bond-the same middle name-James. We are confident Eli and Jodie got a fantastic dose of birth control after babysitting Rowan for an evening in Sierra Vista (w/Gma and Gpa) while Theo and I went to watch the Cardinals beat up on the Falcons. As those of you with babies/children know, they like their routines and when you mess with that their whole world gets turned upside down. Not only did Rowan miss a nap in the afternoon/early evening but he was all out of sorts when given a bottle an hour and a half after being fed. It was not quite bedtime, nor was it time to eat. Poor guy was confused as to what he was suppossed to be doing at that time. The last feeding of the night means bedtime, but not at 6PM, usually more like 7 or 7:30PM....what's a baby to do? CRY and CRY and CRY!!!! Poor Eli and Jodie and Ken and Carol...sorry for the confusion and stress of not knowing how to deal with an upset Rowan! And thank you for trying your hardest to make it alright for him.
Rowan is IN LOVE with his new jumper seat, courtesy of our neighbor. I get such a chuckle watching him jump in it and play with all the toys surrounding him.
He wants soooooo badly to sit up and I know he'll be doing so in no time at all. In the bouncy seat I can prop him up so that the harness holds him from falling forward.
More next time.......
