1 Month Check-up...


Rowan had is 1 month check-up this week. He is steadily gaining weight and is now 10 pounds 4.5 ounces. His pediatrician is really pleased with his growth as are we. We increased his bottle feedings to 4 ounces after we noticed that he was still hungry when Dad fed him at night. This seems to have done the trick. Rowan reached many milestones this week as well. Among those, he is now sleeping in his own room. He's even given us a few 4 hour intervals, but primarily his sleep/eating schedule is every 3 to 3.5 hours. It feels like we're all getting much more sleep overall which is nice. Hooray for small miracles!!! We also caught our first glimpse of his adorable smile and look forward to capturing it on camera soon. We noticed upon his arrival that Rowan had extraordinary strength in his neck, so our daily tummy time play is especially fun to watch.

We ventured out on Thursday night to watch the Hokies vs. Maryland at the Sharkey's. Rowan was absolutely adorable in his VT warm-up suit from Grammy and Papa Lowry. He loves his VT blanket from Aunt Barb as well. Today, we went to watch the Titans vs. Bears at the McMillan's house. Rowan was the hit of the party in his "terrible towel" bib. Uncle Sharkey was so proud!!!
