Rowan turned 2 months and is now almost three months so I though I should get this blog posted. One thing to note is how fast the time has flown by. I said that back with Grant and it is true still...the more kids...the quicker the time goes by. Which means we're having a blast!!! Rowan has added so much love into our house...he get kisses and loves all day long from us. He really enjoys time under the Baby Einstein. He gets his legs and arms going, kicking and waving. I like to have "conversations" with him. He coos, then I coo back and so on. The smiles from him are awesome and he has a great laugh :) Tatum really loves being around Rowan and talking to him. She has become an excellent babysitter while I go do something like shower, or go do my hair and makeup. Grant likes to try giving Rowan pacifiers. He's a little rough, but I don't discourage his interest. Rowan takes milk from a bottle like a champ, a luxury we didn't have with the other two kids.
Every one always asks about sleeping and I can say that I can't complain. Rowan goes to bed about 6:30-7:30 (somewhere in there) and will sleep about a six hour stretch. Then I go in and feed him for about 10 minutes, he goes back to sleep for another 4 hour stretch...gets fed again and then will sleep in till about 9am. I am really excited because I got an eight hour stretch the other night and that was pretty cool. Not all nights are as good as what I am writing about, but the bad nights are not typical, and that is what makes them doable :)
Some of the things I found myself worried about before Rowan arrived: like preschool drop off/pick up, time spent individually with each kid, and date nights with Eric, have really become non issues. Like the Nike slogan say "Just Do It" and that is the approach I have taken when it comes to the pick up and drop off at Tatum's preschool and it really hasn't been that bad...the cold days were the worst. I still have time to spend with each of the kids on their own, and thanks to willing Grandparents...Eric and I have gotten to keep up on spending some time out and about being alone or social :)
Eric and I took Rowan to his 2 month check up the other day and take a look at that scale!!! Rowan is 14lbs 1oz which makes him 83% for weight and he is 24 3/4" which is also 83% for length. What a blessing that nursing is going well. Rowan is gaining weight well and I have no worries there!!! Well time to end this post. Tatum is begging for a game of Memory :)
