Rowan and Flip

Hi Everyone...Rowan got a kick out of "Flip", my friend Vicki's dog who was here with us for 10 dsy while she was in Jamiaca. You'll get a real kick out of this!

Easter Fun

Thank you to Kathy and Don for having us all over for Easter-the food was delicious as always! Rowan got to meet Karolina (his 2nd cousin) for the first time. She is SO CUTE! It was great to see Mark and Amy again-you are adjusting to parenting gracefully! The Grandma's and Grandpa's were in heaven with thier little grandbabies there to play with!!

So Close to Crawling

Rowan is on the verge of crawling. Anyday I know he is going to make the move. He is already rolling and squirming all over the place! As you can see in the pictures, he is in position to crawl, just hasn't figured out how to make the movements yet. Oh my, how life is about to change for us!!!

As strange as this may sound, he has also found his thumbs recently. He is always touching his thumbs to things and here you can see he is giving a "thumbs up!" I am certain this is his continuing on in yet another milestone to be reached-the pincer grab----this is touching your pointer finger to your thumb and picking things up with those 2 fingers.

Rowan's been busy...

Rowan has been so busy latley....

Friday we went to babytime at the library. We all sat around a large parachute laid out on the ground and sang songs, read books, and played. Rowan's favorite thing was when the leader blew bubbles, he was in awe!

You will see him here in his new swing....that he actually fits in and there is no fear of it tipping over! He seems to be outgrowing the swing thing all together and just is not that interested in spending too much time in it. It is good for me though, to have a safe place to put him and get a few things done.

We had a great time with Rowans girlfriends Audrey and izzie at Joe's Farm Grill on Sunday! It was so great to see the Brown Fam!

Rowan and his Buddies

Here is Rowan hanging out with his buddies last week!

90 Degrees in March

Here we are on March 19 and it is 90 Degrees! Needless to say Rowan spent sometime in his diaper this evening before getting ready for bed. He spent some time playing in his crib and I was able to get a short video...enjoy!

Rowan is becoming quite the good eater. His favorites so far are bananas, carrots, and sweet potatoes. He had pears today for the first time and he really liked those too.

Tomorrow we are going to "Baby Fun" at the Library. The have a bubble machine and read stories to the little ones. I believe it for 6 month-2 year olds so it will be interesting to see how Rowan responds to all the kids!

Miscellaneous Pictures

Nonna and Poppa have been visiting from Chicago and Rowan is having so much fun! He has been to a Spring Training Cubs game and got to feel grass for the first time-he loved the texture! Nonna bought him a kiddie pool and now I know why I did a fish theme in his nursery....he LOVES water.

Rowan is getting better and better eating solid foods although I do not think he likes peas very much!

We had his 6 month check up last week and he is almost 18lbs and 27" long!

until next time.......
