33 Weeks Old...

and happy as ever...

Rowan's newest accomplishment this week has been rolling over. She now can roll from her back to her front as well as her front to back. When she is in the mood that is! Sometimes she will be too lazy and just whine when she is on her back and hope someone comes to save her! Eventually it works!

Miss Carebear tried on Rowan's bow too. Her Carebear is how I get her to smile/laugh for pictures when Ed isn't home! Whatever works.

Good Helper...

Rowan wanted to help me fold laundry the other day! She had more fun in the basket than anything! And of course, Gizmo wasn't too far away!

Bottoms Up...

Saturday night we got together with some friends and family because Casey and Jake were home. We went over to the Swan residence and had some salad, lasagna, garlic bread, much wine and beer, some Wii, and some circle of death! Yikes!! Let's just say the night started out with Wii, eating, and a glass of wine, then came bedtime for the babies, and circle of death came out and next thing we knew there were many empty wine bottles. Not the best drink choice when playing a drinking game. Thank god I wasn't hung over the next day, one more glass and it would have been a different story. Let's just say, I haven't drank that much or laughed that hard in a really long time. It was lots of fun!

32 Weeks Old...

This was officially Rowan's last time wearing the Puma outfit, one of my favorites! It was a bit snug today, therefore it needs to be retired! So sad! Perfect reason to take a few pictures.

The only thing new I have to report about her is, SCREAMING! When she ends up on her back usually, and before she starts whining because she is mad, she screams! And she thinks it is funny! Boy I hope that stops soon!

Girls in Bows...

Yesterday, Rowan and I, and the Wildauer family got together for lunch at The Woida household. Amy delivered Lily right before Christmas, and is enjoying her time at home, so we were in need of a little get together as Rowan had a gift for little Lily! When we get too many of us NICU women together, there tends to be too many children and not enough time to chat, so Amy has been having mini get togethers in order to catch up with everyone! From the left: Lily (~2mos.), Ella (3 1/2yrs), Rowan (7 1/2mos.), Jack (10mos.), Noah (2 1/2yrs.) Rowan and Ella

Jack and Rowan (it wasn't easy to keep Jack in one spot for a photo, a boy on the move!)

Rowan has recruited Lily into the Bow Club.

The Girls! (maybe next time Heidi!)

Lil Crunchers...

Today Rowan and I picked her up a new snack. Gerbers Lil Crunchers, they are essentially cheetos puffs, but a small version, and they aren't cheddar, they are veggie flavored, and of course made for babies. It took her a bit to get used to them as they are bigger than her usual puffs. She spends more time using the back or her hand to push them back in her mouth! Super Cute!

Gizmo and Rowan...

Rowan started out sitting in the middle of the room, and somehow ended up by Gizmo. She isn't crawling yet, but between moving backwards and doing 360's, she managed to get across the room, and onto Gizmo's bed.

We frequently find Gizmo on his bed looking out the window, and Rowan decided to join him today. She got herself in this position all by herself too!
