Musings of a new Mommy: All About Rowan

So this will be post all about Monkey #2 (as Monkey #1 has had several of those...
Rowan really really really (seriously) likes her baby cereal, but it was time to introduce some fruits and veggies; first on the list was carrots.

She really really really (seriously) did not like carrots! You have to keep introducing new foods to babies, we know. And you have to wait 4 days in between to make sure there are no allergies, but she really didn't like them! But now we're on to applesauce, which is much much better!

Rowan really enjoys time in her exersaucer. She is generally a baby that likes to be held, and doesn't care much for her swing or her bouncy seat or her jumper, but she will usually give me a few minutes to eat lunch and/or breakfast if I put her in the exersaucer.

"Why wouldn't I like this thing Mommy," she asks, "So many good things to check on and smack around!"

Oh, and by the way, our little over-achieving 5-month old is officially sitting up by herself these days (and rolling over quite proficiently to avoid any Tummy Time we might try to give her.)

We all know how Kaylee has her little friend Emily...well, here's Emily's little brother Oliver, slated to be Rowan's little friend as they are less than 1 month apart.

We went over to Emily and Oliver's new house and let both pairs have some time to play. Look at that gorgeous hair on Oliver? Can you believe there only 3 1/2 weeks apart? He's a big boy and that full head of hair makes him look even older. But they both had fun smiling and gurgling at each other.
