5 month Rowan update

Here is a short update on Rowan who is 5 months old as of last Wednesday (8/18/10).


We go to the doctor for another checkup (and shots) when she is 6 months old but I wanted to share what she has been up to lately. She is a busy girl who loves to spend time in her bouncy seat jumping and squealing away.

Check out these lungs!

We love these squeals!

Grace has been lucky enough to illicit a few herself from the funny faces and sounds she makes for Rowan.

Rowan also just started eating some big girl food! She has been sitting up really well for a couple weeks now. We had to give her some Tylenol a couple weeks ago and realized her thrust reflex is gone. That, coupled with her interest in our plates, made us think she was ready. Boy were we right! She finished off the small little bowl we gave her and the rest is history!

I send her to daycare with a serving for "lunch" and she eats at 5:00 when we get home. I'm thinking the first real food will be avocados... one of Mom's favorites and super healthy for a growing baby!

Here's out little trooper in her big girl seat at Rancho Grande.

She had the #5 (Speedy Gonzales - no beans, extra rice)


And here is the little stinker drinking her first (unforced) bottle outside of daycare. Holding it by herself, no less. She had only taken an ounce before I picked her up from daycare and I couldn't bear to pour the liquid gold down the drain so I thought I'd try it. Yes, I realize this will never happen again.

She drank another 2 ounces!

We are super happy Rowan is learning and doing new things everyday but our baby is growing up too fast for us!
