Green and Gold...

I recall promising more pictures of Rowan in her Packer dress, and since she is very close to outgrowing it, I figured I better get a few more pictures. Not to mention it is looking like the Packers season is coming to an end, therefore the dress will be retired anyway.

Who better to take the photos with that the person that bought her the dress, Great Aunt Karen!

Long lost friends...

Jennie and Crystal came over tonight to visit. I haven't seen either of them since Crystal's wedding over 2 months ago. It is very sad that we can't find the time to get together more often. But it was nice to catch up and know that everyone is doing well.

They couldn't believe how much Rowan has grown. They got to briefly hold her while they were over, after her nap of course, when she is the most smiley and tolerable of others.

Daddy's New Toy...

Ed finally got the train he has been waiting for underneath the Christmas tree. We actually found it at Toys R Us. We were supposed to be shopping for Rowan and Kieran, but the big kid managed to find something to buy. Ed put the train together immediately when we got home. The tree isn't even decorated but we have a train underneath, that is all that matters.

Then when Ed got home from work today, he had to be sure to show Rowan our new train. She was very into it, followed it very intently. Gizmo on the other hand runs the other way when the train is moving!Will share more photos once the tree is decorated, hopefully by the end of the weekend.

20 Weeks Old...

Okay, so as you can see, this weeks photo session started out with the Gator gear, in support of Casey and Jake in Gainsville (outfit courtesy of them too!)....things were going pretty well....Rowan was smiling...then eating the outfit.....

then puking...

therefore we had to take a different approach....so we removed the clothing, grabbed a different bow....and took a few more photos. I guess she was a bit happier after she puked, she was a bit more smiley for these ones....or perhaps it is just because she loves to be naked!

Excuse the little tush exposed in this one. Someone requested a tush shot after last weeks photos in the Santa hat. Cora you will have to wait for the Santa hat tush shot!

Otherwise, things here are going fine. Busy trying to get our Christmas shopping done early in hopes that we won't over spend. Easier said than done. Nothing really new to report on Rowan. She has been doing a little bit better with the eating concept, she generally finishes a 5 oz. bottle, occassionally 6 oz. but not regularly. I am in no hurry to start rice cereal anyways, we may wait until after the holidays, we don't need the added stress. As far as the stranger anxiety, she seems a bit more tolerable of other people, but not always. She is always looking for mommy or daddy.

Internship...

Ed went for an interview yesterday for an internship for his last semester of school! He was super excited and nervous too I think. He hates starting new jobs (not that he has had a new job in the last 9 years). Not only will he get paid for the internship, but it is also a 3 credit class. He is going to continue working at Menards on the weekends just in case he doesn't get a job out of the internship after graduating.

He will be starting orientation on Monday! Good Luck Honey!!

Notice the new haircut! Ed actually paid for a haircut, he hasn't paid for a haircut since I have known him, I have always cut it. But the last few months he has been letting it grow out, and it got to the point where I was not willing to cut it anymore. It looks cute!

These are just a few other random photos we took in the last couple of days! Can't believe Thanksgiving is next week already! Hope everyone is doing well!

19 Weeks Old...

Well, I guess this week is a bit of a holiday preview...
What better an accessory to a naked baby than a Santa hat! Many more holiday pictures to come between now and Christmas, bows, dresses, you name it!

When Rowan is laying on her tummy, she now gets excited and her legs and arms are moving all over, so it looks like she is flying in some of these pictures. But she sure was having fun. Again, there are a bunch because I couldn't decide. I was going to save one for our Christmas card, but I figure I will have more good ones before then!
