Here are some pictures from Rowan's 25th month of life! :)

Month 24! :)

Here are some pictures from Rowan's 24th month of life! :) I didn't get to post, but, of course have some pictures! :)

Rowan is 2!! :)

Just wanted to post a few pictures from Rowan's 2nd birthday party! :) We just did a small party this year at FunZone in Cullman! The kiddos (and adults) loved it! :)

Almost 2...

I am actually writing this on Rowan's birthday, but I'm late, so the title is for last month. :) We have been very busy around here! Rowan is talking more and doing so much! He is just a blessing and I couldn't imagine my life without him! Don't get me wrong, he is wild at times...but, aren't we all? ;) He is doing okay sleeping in his big boy bed,but about 3 times a week he will wake and come get in bed with us.

I must talk about my friends in this blog. They are the BEST. I have had some personal issues and without them I have NO clue what I'd do! Thank you and I love you ALL!!

Here are some pictures of Rowan! :)

Rowan is 22 months old! :)

We have been SO very busy around here lately! :) And, I'm loving it! We all are in bed by 10-10:30 every night so that shows we are crazy busy during the day! Houston starts 3 grad school classes in July, so we've been doing a lot in June, especially these last few days that we have together!
Rowan really enjoys going to the splashpad in Hartselle, swimming, and just playing outside in general! He finished his swimming lessons last Thursday, but is not swimming. ;) They were fun, though! He did learn to kick, but is not sure what to do with his arms just yet...swimming lessons at 1 year old I guess aren't supposed to train them for the olympics. It was more like playtime, actually! Rowan really loved the slide and to go under a LOT!!
We converted Rowan's crib to the full size bed on his 22nd month birthday...he woke up 3 nights in a row around 3 a.m., but has done good since! I had a lot of friends on facebook tell me to get him a glow-worm...I did and he LOVES it! So, hopefully that will help him sleep better! He is starting to say a few words at a time and it's so stinking cute! He can pretty much make ALL animal sounds and is obsessed with cows and horses. He actually took one of his cows and a horse to Point Mallard on Friday with us. ;) There's nothing like it.
July is going to be very busy for us as well! I look forward to all of the fun events coming up! Oh, and I have Rowan's birthday venue reserved and have ordered his cake...we are going with Sesame Street theme! (When I was pregnant I found some cups and plates that were Sesame Street for 2.00 so I must use them!)

Here are a few pictures! :)

21 Months! :)

Rowan is now 21 months, going on 4 years old! ;) He's a ball of fun and always doing something new! He says uh oh, dog, cat, barn, barney, mama, dada, nana, mimi, names, and lots lots more! He is most of the time out-going, but occasionally he will be shy around stranger! He does have a temper, but hopefully we can get control of that soon! :0

I went to Kaydee's bachelorette party June 3-6 and missed him so much, but had so much fun with my friends! Kaydee is going to be a beautiful bride and I'm so lucky to be a part of it! :) (I'm an honorary bridesmaid!) I returned home on the 6th and then Houston and I left the night of the 7th for the Dominican Republic for our 5th Anniversary trip...our neighbors went at the same time for their daughters high school graduation gift too, so we had friends there as well!! :) It was AMAZING, but we were so ready to get home to our baby!

While we were gone, my mom kept Rowan until Friday and then my best friend, Aubrey came and kept him until Sunday! I am so thankful for them! And, that they help us out, but actually want to be with Rowan, too! He is a blessed little guy! :)

Today is my Mom's 53rd birthday and we celebrated tonight by grilling out! It was lots of fun! The whole family was able to come except for my older brother, Cody because he had to work. :( I love how close Rowan is with his cousins! I want them to always stay close...some people don't have that closeness with family and I feel it is truly a blessing! :)

Rowan will be 2 in just a little over 2 months...this excites me and saddens me. I just love him so much and can't imagine him growing older and older! :)

Here are some pics of the past month!

20 MONTHS! :)

It's hard to believe that in less than 4 months Rowan will be 2 years old! Wow, how time has flown,but becomes more fun everyday! :) He is so wild...I think he takes a lot after me! He still loves to read, run, talk a lot, play outside, play chase, dance every chance he gets, and continues to give more hugs and kisses! This is such a fun age!! We had a wonderful Easter this year! My family came over and we had a blast! Rowan didn't care too much for hunting Easter eggs, but he did want to eat the candy!

Some new things Rowan is now doing...telling me when he pees, telling me when he poops, pointing to his crib when he wants to go to bed, going to the door and saying "outside", breaking out some new dance moves, and saying more and more words!!

Mother's Day was GREAT! :) We went to church, had Red Lobster take out with my family, and then made breakfast for dinner with Houston's mom! It was a great day! :)This weekend we are going to the beach for 5 days and are SO excited! Oh, and I signed Rowan up for swimming lessons and am very excited about this! He LOVES pools so it should be a lot of fun! :)

This life is GREAT! :)
