Happy 1/2 Birthday Rowan!!! It's hard to believe that 6 months have already flown by. Rowan has changed so much over these past few months. He is still a really happy baby - we're just amazed at how sweet he is. At his latest check-up, he weighed in at 18 pounds 15 ounces (75%) and 28 inches long (92%). We are convinced he is teething although we have yet to see an actual tooth. The constant drooling and the continuous "everything goes in my mouth" symptoms seem to be dead giveaways. Although, we have yet to see his pearly whites, Rowan has mastered all of the 1st solid foods, but he does not like peas. He seriously does not like them. Mom still tries to sneak them in with a fruit every now and then, but he's a smart boy and he always spits them back out with a "yuck" look on his face. Other notables - Rowan is drinking a 6 ounce bottle 5 times a day in addition to solid foods which he eats at breakfast and again at dinner. He's also outgrown most of his 3-6 month clothing, so we're transitioning into 6-9 month clothing now. His length is the primary reason although he has the chubbiest little legs which we absolutely love!!
Another exciting milestone for Rowan is that he is now sitting up on his own. Mom and Dad still get a little nervous with this latest transition, but it's been amazing to watch him grasp balance. He is also rolling over all the time. One of the best parts of Rowan's personality is his laugh. He giggles over everything and is definitely ticklish. Between his high-pitched squeals and blowing raspberries, he keeps us laughing constantly. Rowan also loves "airplane" with Daddy which always brings a smile to both of their faces.
One of Rowan's signature poses is his "laid back" arms folded behind his head when he sleeps. We have yet to capture the image on camera yet, but he's been doing it for a while now. It's Mom's mission to get it on film soon.
