All About Rowan

What can I say about our little 18 monther?? Lots!!! He is getting so big, I can't believe he's my baby!!! Rowan is at my all time favorite stage. He's learning and becoming more aware of how the world all works. He is really starting to discover so many new things!! And I really enjoy watching him learn all about his world.

The biggest change in Rowan over the last 2 months has been his speech development. He has so many new words and is even putting a couple together. Just today he said "another Dora" when Dora ended on the t.v. I love hearing what he has to say. Ashlyn is enjoying having her little brother able to talk to her instead of just scream at her.

Rowan is our little monkey. He will climb anything and everything. Chairs, tables, change tables, couches, toys - you name it. If it can be climbed, he will! Though its pretty cool he has no fear of heights or falling - its scary for mommy and a pain in the but for me to have to watch him soooo closely when I have so many kids in my care!!

Another big change for Rowan has been his teeth. Just 2 months ago he had 6 teeth. Today, he has 11!!! And has more on the way. He has been miserable at times, cuttin so many teeth at once, but I am glad they are finally giving him a break. It was really bad at first. Then I got him an amber twethig necklace, and it seemed to help!! Any one with a cranky, teething baby - I highly recommend using one!

Rowan is becoming quite the little helper. He is never far behind mommy and daddy when there are dishes to in load or laundry to fold. We like to encourage him to do his part and help - but this usually ends up making more of a mess for us!!

Rowan is finally at an age where doing things as a family are getting easier and easier. He is better about traveling, and is starting to actually enjoy the things we do instead just making it more work than it's worth LOL all you moms out there, you understand what I am talking about :)

This summer is going to be so much fun with him. We are looking forward to rotary, the park, picnics, and walks. Can't wait!!!

Here are some pics of him for you all to enjoy!!
