in green...

Rowan had a great day with his dad yesterday...he actually payed little attention to me today and needed his dad to put him down for his nap. I am being replaced. It kind of feels nice :) I thought this new outfit was too cute to pass up without a picture or two. I love Rowan in green, and kelly green is a favorite. I think you can see a few new teeth too.

deep in thought with a serious face

Rowan's new bestfriend

Yesterday, Josh was wonderful enough to give me the day away to visit my best friend Lashelle in Durham, NC with her new baby boy Hayston. He is 7 months younger than Rowan so we are hoping they will be best buddies eventually. Until then, it is fun to walk through motherhood with another close friend.

First snow

Rowan wasn't so excited about his first snow, but we needed to get a few pictures anyway. Hopefully when Josh gets home we can take a few more. Rowan was having a hard time sitting up in his snow suit, and I was having a hard time holding him and taking pictures.

The over achiever

Rowan decided he was going to be an over achiever and not get one tooth at a time...but THREE teeth at a time. Poor little guy has had a rough time.

Here is a picture of Rowan helping Josh pack for his trip to speak at a ski retreat. Rowan thought it would be fun to wear one of his daddy's snow hats.

Happy Birthday Gram!

Rowan wanted to make sure his Gram knew that he was thinking about her all day today and hopes she has a very happy birthday!

random pictures

You can almost see Rowan's first tooth peeking through in this one...

Who does he look like?

While I think Rowan is a beautiful blend of both Josh and I, it is hard to argue with these pictures. Poor kid looks like his mama...

Happy Birthday G-dawg!

Tonight Dana came over to celebrate his birthday. Somehow Rowan got presents too! This kid is spoiled rotten.

Sitting up

Rowan has accomplished a lot this week. He cut his first tooth and mastered sitting up. He has been working on it for about a month, but finally can sit up and even reach for a toy all without toppling over.

Bath time

Rowan is getting so big. I never stop being amazed by how fast he grows and changes. Pay no attention to the strategically placed ducky :)

Cute pics in the window

I love Rowan in hats and he doesn't ever seem to mind me plunking different things on his head. The beautiful winter hat and booties were made by Allison Dove (I think she needs to go into business). Here are a few cute shots of him in the window. Josh recently put a bird feeder right outside the window and Rowan loves to look out and watch them up close.
