Rowan's First Trip-- Chicago 2013

We had such a great time visiting family and friends in Chicago... but most of all taking Rowan on his first trip!! He did SO well on the plane... slept for a bit, then played for a bit, etc... He loved being around all the people and meeting GG and Great Grandpa, Aunt, Uncles and Cousins!!! All in all a great trip!!

And Once Again I am Behind....Nine Months

We have a little firecracker on our hands and I just can't get around to this darn blog!!! Rowan is now 9 months old and such a personality!!! We just LOVE HIM and he surprises us everyday with his shenanigans!!!

Nine Months:

- CRAWLING!!!! 

we can't even believe it!! I still have yet to get a really good video of this, but he is super fast and it is hard to keep him in one spot!!

not the best picture, but it is hard to go through so many to find just one!

-Pulls himself up to stand!!

he LOVES to pull himself up on just about anything!!!

- So active and full of life!!

- Weighs atleast 21 lbs!! (We will find out tomorrow at his 9 month well check)

- Smiley, laughs a lot, loves to be tickled, VERY vocal, doesn't like to sit still, still doesn't sleep or nap well, HAPPY baby!!

We just can't get enough of this little man.... he is so darn funny and we just love watching him grow!
