9 Month Stats, Llamas, and Cupcakes
Rowen had her 9 month appointment today. She is 18 lbs 2 oz, 27 3/4in long, and has a 17 3/4in head!
We were also given the go ahead to start feeding her real people food! Pasta, mac and cheese, all kinds of yummy stuff!
We took Rowen to her first fair today! As many know, she has a stuffed llama named Douglas who she looooooves. As soon as I found out about the fair, I pretty much decided that we were going for the sole purpose of Rowen getting to see a real llama.

There were also pot bellied pigs and pygmy goats! She loved them all! We had such a great time!
O! And there was a camel!
Lastly, Daddy got his birthday present today! A few of our friends all pitched in to get him a cupcake tattoo. For those of you that don't know, we called Rowen "Cupcake" in utero. We decided that we were going to get cupcake tattoos for her :)
Colin finally got his. I love it <3

We walked around forever. She saw goats and sheep, cows and horses. We took her to the rabbit barn and the poultry barn. But we had yet to see a llama.
Finally as we were about to give up and go home, we walked past the feeding/petting zoo. There were llamas! Yay!!

9 months
I can not believe that my little baby is 9 months old already! What the heck happened?!
In the last month Rowen has been getting into everything! The second we put her down, she is off messing with something. She loves to pull the kitchen towels off of the oven handle. Playing with the remotes, Daddy's Xbox controller, laptops, and just about anything on the coffee table keeps her pretty busy.
She is now a pro crawler, and my goodness she is FAST. You look away for half of a second and she is gone! And much to the dogs dismay, she loves to go after them. She is also a pro at pulling herself up to the couch, so they cant even seek refuge there anymore. No where is safe!

As of yesterday, she has decided that its cool to stand on her own. This terrifies me. Between that, and her dragging/pushing around a walker toy her Auntie Erin gave her, Im beginning to think that walking is in the near future...and I am not ready for that!

We have been trying to transition completely away from pureed food. She now gets pear slices, sweet potato slices, broccoli, among other things.
Also this week, she is now the proud owner of not one, but TWO teeth!
I am just in shock. I can not believe how fast she is growing up. Its so awesome to watch her explore and learn new things.
She has her 9 month wellness appointment tomorrow morning. I will update with stats after :)

8 months
Rowen is 8 months... where has the time gone?
Since our last blog post, a lot of VERY important life events have happened.

Rowen got her first boy band CD, which we all know is a very crucial moment in a young girls life.
.
Rowen is eating real food. She loves broccoli (yes broccoli), pears, apples, and sweet potatoes. She is not really a fan of peas though
We spent time with friends. This is Sage and her mommy Amanda. We met through my January 2012 mommy group. We like them :)
Rowen got her first cold :(. Everyone in our house got it. It has not been fun.
And most exciting... Rowen got her first TOOTH!! Its not much of a tooth yet, but its there...she doesnt let us look at it though. She covers it up with her tongue when we try. Silly girl.

7 months and First word!
Hi everyone!!
It has been so difficult to keep up with this lately! Planning a wedding, work, and trying to keep up with a mobile 7 month old doesnt leave very much time for blogging!
We officially have a crawler! Rowen is crawling, pulling herself up on stuff, and getting into stuff she shouldn't be! It has definitely been hectic.
She is "talking" more and more. She has been saying "mama" all day!
Rowen had her 6 month appointment last week. She was already technically 7 months.
She is weighing in at 16 pounds 7 ounces and is 26.25in tall! She is growing so fast!
Here are some pictures and a couple videos :)
First time seeing rain.
