I Must be Getting Old

Cause I can't for the life of me remember what I did on Friday. Oh yah - I think I caught up on my blog.

These pictures are from the weekend. I entered Rowan in a cutest baby in Australia contest - of course I didn't use these ones - it was hard to decide but I used one of him from his birthday.

The other memorable thing from Friday was that there was a fly in my wine again. Ugh. Sneaky little bugs.

More on Rowan - he is almost walking. He's been practicing - he gets up, takes a step - looks for approval and then falls over. Last night he was walking over to Cyp as we watched TV - he would crawl to me, stand up and sort of balance on me as he walked over to Cyp who was immersed in his computer.

Rowan has also been requesting his toothbrush a lot lately. If I happen to be in the bathroom, he comes along and holds out his hand - so I pass him a toothbrush. This is a far more successful way of getting him to brush his teeth than the method we tried with Ellis where I held one end and Cyp held the other and we pried his mouth open to brush his teeth. Rowan thinks it's a privilege to have a toothbrush - finally he gets to brush his teeth like big brother.

The last thing about Rowan - he is talking to us now. If I ask him "do you want some grapes?"

I hear "grup" If I ask if he is all done - he says "yup" It's kinda amazing. The sitters also noted that he seemed way bigger than two weeks ago - I think it's cause he is just so much more aware. He has a presence now - amazing.
