'Nanner Faces

Rowan had his first encounter with bananas over the weekend, and it was not love at first sight.
The first time he spit out nearly ever slimy bite, in addition to making some pretty awful faces and trying to gag himself. Well, fake-gag. That's a new trick he learned in the last week (that would be the face in the lower right). Thankfully, he wasn't successful!
Try #2: same faces, some gagging, but ate more.
So on try 3, I pureed them and low and behold he ate them all and didn't fake-gag himself once!
What a difference consistency makes!

Pool time

Rowan's first pool! Which he was in one day before Mommy decided we needed a pool big enough for us both to get in :)

I make these look gooood!!

Not only fashionable, but good for eye health! Both of which are important to Mom!

Veggies

So far we've tried Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Squash, Peas and Green Beans. Though he ate them all, Rowan definitely preferred the orange veggies over the green ones.
Mom preferred the orange ones too. The orange ones smell a little better and the green beans are runnier than all the rest, thus messier.

The Big Roll

Rowan celebrated the 5 month marker by rolling from back to front. For the last 1.5 weeks he has been rolling on his side and really arching his back, but he just couldn't get over the hump of that left shoulder to get onto his tummy. On Saturday morning I looked at the monitor and there he was sleeping on his belly. Again Sunday he woke up on his belly, despite starting on his back. Then Sunday morning on an open floor he worked and worked and finally we watched him roll. Such a big boy!!

Rowan Beckett

So it's been a long time since I have updated. A LONG TIME. I finally got a blogging app so hopefully I will update more often. As I thought it might be a little strange to completely skip over Rowan being born and start now with him as a 4 month old.

So this Rowan on his birthday, Nov 19th, just a few hours old.
Weight: 8 lb 8 ounces --- all in his cheeks ;)
Length: 21 inches

Aubrey whispered to her new baby sister "this is your Aunt Makenzie". How sweet is that???
