My darling boy, you're 8 months old today! More and more I see you as your own tiny person rather than a potato baby. Your personality is SO BIG. You've got the hang of getting up on all fours, spinning in circles, and barrel rolling, but can't quite seem to figure out the forward motion bit. You'd rather stand anyway, though, so maybe you'll skip ( Read more... )

This little stinker is 7 months old today! He wants to crawl so bad, but hasn't quite got it figured out. He can push up his front half, he can pull his knees up under him, but he can't seem to coordinate moving the two together just yet. It seems like he learns a new sound every day, and has the biggest personality that he just loves to share with ( Read more... )

Our little love is 6 months old today! 1/2 year! Rowan decided he would celebrate today by waking up before 6AM, which really set the tone for how the rest of our day was going to go. He's 17lbs and roughly 27 inches. We'll have new official measurements after we see the baby wranglers at his 6 month check up next Tuesday. He has the worst case of ( Read more... )

Ok, not really that far, but I must do better about updating when things actually happen versus days/weeks/months later. I keep thinking I have to wait until I have time or the brain power to write out some lengthy verbose entry, but why? If my entry is only one sentence, it's still here when I went to go back and look later. I still made a record ( Read more... )

LJ ate my post, whyyyyyy?

Rowan started actually babbling last night! He was in his pack and play making his usual baby noises, then all the sudden it switched to bababababa. I can't tell you how excited I was! He did it a few more times over the next 10 minutes or so, then it was time for food and bed.

Sounds like he's awake, so I get to find out if ( Read more... )

This dapper gentleman is 5 months old today! We haven't gotten a real belly laugh yet, but we get loads of giggles and happy squeals. He's getting super long (I need to try to measure exactly how long), and weighed 15lbs 9oz when I checked a few days ago. He's insists on sleeping on his belly, has shown a big increase in interest in the dogs & cats ( Read more... )

I may have to come back to this one as parts of the memory pop back into my brain. I shouldn't have waited this long to get on here and type it, but I've mostly accepted that that's just who I am as a person and I have to learn to work around it.

Sweet boy, you're 4 months old today! All you want to do lately is talk talk talk at us, squeals and giggles and shrieks to make your point. Everything you touch has to be grasped as hard as possible, preferably while also being shoved in your mouth. I cannot tell you how much joy and delight you bring into our lives. Daddy and I love you so very ( Read more... )
