Eleven Weeks

Rowan poses at eleven weeks in auntie Heidi's arms. So sweet!

Rowan’s Paternal Grandparent’s Christmas

Snuggling with Grandma Connie in his cute little overalls.

Rowan’s Maternal Great Grandparent’s Christmas

The two youngest great grandchildren (Danielle and Rowan) snuggle on the couch.

With all of the overeating going on around him, Rowan catches a taste of Grandpa's shirt.

Rowan’s Maternal Great Grandparent’s Christmas

Great Grandma got a cute picture of little Rowan for Christmas (as did all of his other grandparents and great grandparents).

Santa visited Great Grandma's after dinner. Rowan slept like an angel through the whole thing!

First Family Christmas

We enjoyed our first Christmas with Rowan. Here we are on Christmas day at Kyle's mom and dad's house. Rowan was decked out like a little lumber Jack thanks to Auntie Heidi!

Ten Weeks

Rowan turned ten weeks on Wednesday, Dec. 21 (yes, it's been a long time since I've had an update). He's growing like crazy, but he seems to be getter longer and not much fatter. That makes it difficult for us to find pants that fit him well (he's just not going to be a butterball baby:). In this picture, he's just had a bath so his hair is all fuzzy and standing on end.

Sink Time!

We had been giving Rowan baths in the big tub with just a little water (we figured we'd get out of buying the bulky infant tub). But Rowan hated those baths. Then we put him in the bathroom sink and he loved it!! So, we'll have to get a little tub (he's already a little too big for the sink) to use until he can sit up.

Nine Weeks

Rowan hit the two-month mark on Monday, December 12 (nine weeks on Wednesday, December 14). We brought him into Heidi's work to weigh and measure him (his next doctor appointment isn't until January 4). He now weighs 10 pounds, 12.7 ounces. He's 23.5 inches long, and his head measures 15.5 inches (the same size Kyle's head was when he was born -- ouch!). He's discovering his hands, rolling over and having howling matches with mommy. We love every minute!

Eight Weeks

Rowan turned eight weeks old on November 7! He rolled over (from tummy to back) for the first time on Monday, November 5. He lifted his head so high that toppled and flipped right over. He looked quite surprised to suddenly be on his back!

He's also started to show more interest in the toys hanging from his bouncy chair and play gym. He smiles and coos at them and bats them with his hands. How it is to see the world through his eyes -- everything so new and exciting!

So Strong!

Rowan can lift himself up on his forearms now and

he's rolled over (from tummy to back) four times since

Monday evening.
