Here’s a video of Rowan going under water at Waterbabies. He loves the class,all of the singing, and being in the water. It’s mandatory I wear this super fashionable swim cap…... Russ loves to give me a hard time for it, ha! Enjoy!
Okay, so I’m not quite sure how my little baby who was just wrapped up like a burrito is now this big, but seriously!!?? He won’t have another well check appointment until 9 months and I am definitely anxious to see how much he’s grown. He is a crawling machine! The last month has kept us busy, busy, busy because he likes to get into everything that’s NOT a toy. Just when I thought I had done enough childproofing, I caught him playing with the little springy door jam. He popped the white part off the end— and thank goodness I dove to the floor right before he put it in his mouth. Rowan spends half his day crawling, and about half of his day standing up. Not on his own…yet…but holding on to the coffee table, or an ottoman, or his exercsaucer. He is babbling a bunch too. Russ is CONVINCED he said “I love Dad.” He does say “dada” a lot more than mama (go figure) but he obviously doesn’t know what those words mean yet. Rowan loves to play peek-a-boo, read books, and clapping his hands together. So much fun! I will try and post a video from waterbabies soon.
Love our little man!
A couple weeks ago, Ro and I met up with Val, her kids Lauren & Ben, and Courtney & one of her little son’s Hudson at the park. I used to teach with them at Smith and it was fun to catch up with them. The weather wasn’t too great but I thought I’d try and put Rowan in a swing for the first time. He loved it!
Lauren was a great helper, pushing him. :)
Hopefully we’ll have plenty more playdates at the park this summer, sans coats!
Rowan had his first Syttende Mai (17th of May- Norwegian Independence Day) celebration. There is a huge parade in Ballard every year and Norskie’s from all over come to take part in music, food, and fun!
I’ve gone since I was a little girl, so it’s fun to carry on the tradition. The parade doesn’t start until 6 PM which is around Ro’s bedtime but he did really well.
Sportin’ his Norwegian Flag Onesie
Just chillin in the Ergo
