Lunch playdate...

Today we had a lunch playdate with some of my friends from work. We all contributed fixings for Taco Salads, or quesadillas for the kids. Rowan and I brought dessert since we arrived late due to naptime. It is always nice to get out of the house for a few hours, the kids seem to really enjoy it too. Makes for a great afternoon nap!

The girls got to help make their quesadillas! They even dressed up to do it! Sassy girls! Can't wait until Rowan is joining in.

Rowan enjoyed goobering up toys that weren't hers. Good thing Ella didn't see her sucking on the baby's head, she wasn't a fan of Rowan eating her toys. Hopefully her sister Lily keeps her hands off when she gets bigger!

More Presents...

Rowan and Gizmo are both very spoiled by our friends and family. Seems like everytime someone comes to visit, they are bringing one of them something. But this time they were wrapped, that is a treat!

Karen and Doug stopped by last night to visit, and brought Gizmo his birthday present (he will be 4 on March 18th), and a little gift for Rowan too. So they both had wrapping paper to play with. They were good sharers (if that is a word?).

8 Months Old...

Where has 8 Months gone???

I am not sure...but boy has she kept us busy and on our toes. Rowan is turning into such a little person. If you have kept up with the postings, you know that she is doing just about everything, except walking (thank god).

She hasn't been quite herself the past week, not sure if it is because of her moving around more, or perhaps some teeth might be on the way, plus Ed and I have had colds, so she might have caught a little something. But her eating and sleeping haven't been very stellar! But we deal with it, and life goes on!

You can tell our obsession with bows hasn't stopped. I have decided it isn't just bows, it is head gear that I am obsessed with. Everytime I am shopping I find myself looking at the hats, bows, or whatever else you can put on a beautiful girl without hair. Although, her hair is growing! I swear!

Sorry for all the pictures that are very similar, I couldn't decide which ones to post. They are all so cute!

Too fast...

Rowan has been doing new things way too quickly for me the last few weeks. The other morning, I walked into her room to get her up when I got home from work, and this is what I saw....

pulling herself up on the bumper...which means it is time to move her crib mattress down. So sad! She is getting so big, so fast!!

Cutie Patootie...

Just a few random pictures of Rowan from the last week...

This last picture was taken with my point and shoot camera, so not quite as quality, but her big blue eyes were priceless!

Dog treat anyone???

It's a good thing Gizmo doesn't mind sharing his treats, because Rowan managed to get her hands on one, maybe even gave it a taste! Disgusting, but I had to get a picture!

Getting into Trouble...

Over the last week, Rowan's moving has gotten a little bit faster, and she has found a few new things! For example, Gizmo's bed, cords, Xbox 360, shoes, etc, etc... Mostly things she shouldn't be touching, and the word NO, means nothing to her. Usually she finds it funny when I pick her up and say NO and move her away from whatever she isn't supposed to be touching!
