Belly shot

As promised, this is me at 23 wks and measuring about 39 in around. I am already not sleeping so I guess Ill be ready for him.

The Computer

Wow, they start early! He loves to watch the Thomas the train website for the videos and trying to figure out the puzzles. He knows the mouse is what works it, but hasn't gotten the technique quite yet. lol

New floors

Rowan's 2nd Birthday

This invitation is for anyone that wants to come (incl those far far away)! hint hint

Rowan's 2 yr pics

Love it!! This is the one we are using on his bday invitation--he was sitting on an antique caboose at kiroli park. Everyone can look at the rest of the proofs on ashleyisaacphotography.net--click on proofing--pw: rowan

Asher 4D-20 wks

Always love a sneak peek at my sweet boy! Well, all the measurements were good and looks like the plan is to deliver right before Thanksgiving---what a reason to be thankful!!!

Fourth of July

Even after going under, he was ready to jump off the diving board again!

Pops helping Rowan swim

He had sooo much fun, he hollered and laughed the whole time!

Finleigh Kate and Rowan

Marker

Look who got in a fight with a marker....and lost?
(I was telling him to hold his marker up--meaning where I could get it in the pic, but being the genius we know, he held it UP!) LOL

Swimming

Ready to go!

He thought it was hilarious to see me and Pops go underwater!

Loves him some crystal light! ha

The Finished Project

Yay!!! Lots of hard work and 55 bags of mulch later, it's finished.


He's just showing out here! lol

Funnies by Rowan

Lollie called my cell the other day, and of course Rowan wanted to talk to her, so I handed over the phone. He proceeded to take the phone out to the swingset and hold it up, all while saying "look Lollie, look!" Then he had to show her the sand box too and count the steps with phone and Lollie in tow. lol I think he really thinks we can see through the phone.
We took Rowan to the movies last night to see Toy Story 3 and made it all of an hour and 10 min before getting restless. Being the forgetful mom, I left my phone in the car, so no pics, but needless to say, he had a GREAT time and didn't want to leave. He just sat in his chair eating his popcorn and narrating the movie for us.
His new favorite word is "where?" and believe me, he uses it for everything! For instance, I tell him, "we're gonna change your diaper." Rowan: "where?" I say, "in your room." Rowan: "where?" OR "We're going to the store." Rowan: "Where?" I say, "in town." Rowan: "where?" I say "home depot." Rowan: "where?"
Whew! Exhausting trying to explain it all to a two yr old.
We have been preparing Rowan for his 2nd bday by telling him that there will be balloons, Thomas cake, prizes, friends and family, and that he will be two years old. What he got out of this is that everyone is bringing him TWO presents. hmmm
Lastly, you can never give just one of anything (candy, popsicles) because he's gonna hold up his finger and say "one more, puleeze!"
The other night, Rowan not wanting to take a bath, started crying and said, "no bath, I go time out."

Asher 18 wks and counting

So far his little profile looks like Rowan! Can't wait to hold my sweet boy!

Work in Progress

This is Rowan's swingset for his birthday--hopefully we will have it completed this wkd w/ mulch and a sandbox! Poor Ronnie has slaved many hours on this project--too bad there's a zillion more honey do's. lol

The Latest

And of course, it's his new tradition to ride the rabbit every time he sees the carousel--and please don't let him catch another kid on it(he gets upset)

GrandReeda on the floor really getting in on the action


Of course, another Fri nite at the mall and he had to ride the train

On the way to the mall

I think all the "grands" remember this chair at GrandReedas!

Pops and Row

Got my shades

Pool time!

Things to do when the lights go out--play in the rain!

Rowan and Lexie--we had so much fun! So glad she stayed the night with us!

Suprise Dadda!


Popsicles make every day better--esp in La heat!!!

My new alligator pool!

Hair Cut

Well, it was past that time again, as we were borderline mullet---so off to the beauty parlor for a little trim. Plus, we have pics Sunday we have to look good for(to be posted later). You'd think he would be used to getting a hair cut as this is the third or fourth one, but not so much!

He looks so grown up:(

Pops brought him home this lil kitchen, but he was more interested in the "fake cokes" Pops filled with juice and sprite. I think he learned his lesson to use cups with lids after he mopped up all the sticky!

Rowan's new Big Boy room

He is soo proud of his new room and takes everyone that comes over in to show them. Tonight's the night we are going to attempt him sleeping in his bed by himself--at least for most of the night! lol We are going to add a lighted palm tree soon to finish off the whole "surf theme!"


He wanted a pic of him on his bed but was too busy with his juice to smile!

His little stairs are how he climbs in!

Asher's first pic

This confirms a boy!!
