Things I learned this week*

By Rowan Crawling is much easier with both legs helping out. Everyone must obey the laws of physics around me. I like spinach! *Annotations by Mommy In the course of one Saturday, Rowan went from pulling along himself by the arms with one leg tucked under his chest in the morning, to pulling himself by the arms with […]

Dear Daddy

Dear Daddy, Thank you for taking such good care of me when Mommy was sick.  I know it was tough for you since you also had a tummy ache.   Our early morning walks are the highlight of my week.  Watching the doggies running around in the park, smiling at all the people we walk past, […]

Dear Rowan

Dear Rowan, Thank you for going to sleep so easily on your morning nap because it gives me time to catch up on housework. Thank you for not wanting to take an afternoon nap at times because it means you’re enjoying life too much to take a break. Thank you for resisting being fed when you’re […]

Mommy’s new alarm clock

By Mommy I figure this entry shouldn’t start with those dreaded words “first of all, everyone is okay.”  This was not a pleasant weekend for anyone in the Rowan household, but in the end everyone really is okay. First a quick timeline: Sunday 8am: Rowan has a temp of 101.4 so we gave him some […]

Ode to Daddy-O

By Mommy Well, we have survived four days of daddy being away for work, and only one day left.  Things went much smoother than expected since Mommy’s jury duty was short-lived (the guy pleaded guilty), and she took Thursday off just because. But so much has been going on with Rowan these past few days!  […]

An unhappy first

By Mommy We were hoping to be the first parents ever to have their child go to daycare and not get sick.  Sadly, that wasn’t the case, and it happened on his first full day there.  Saturday night as we were putting Rowan to bed, he seemed a little warm and stuffy.  So Mommy and […]

A day in the life

Okay, so the videos weren’t all taken on the same day, but they pretty much describe a typical one. Good morning sunshine! A distinct preference for string instruments. Now when was the last time you took a nap with your feet in the air?! Learning cause and effect Unfortunately the sound didn’t come through, so […]

Missed milestone

By Mommy I suppose it happens to every working parent.  Rowan hit a major milestone, and  neither Mommy nor Daddy was around to witness it.  Last Tuesday he rolled over for the first time!  The babysitter was very excited about it, and we were quite bummed to have missed it. Mommy is also quite worried […]
