We traveled to Emerald Isle, NC for our first family beach vacation. It was nice to spend time with the Witherell side of our family. We really cherish that time because we get to enjoy it only a few times a year.
It was fun seeing the boys together. Rowan and his cousins, Quinlin and Calyx, got along really well. He even met little Miss Riley Wisecarver which meant that we got to spend time with our good friends in Charlotte. And we spent an overnight in Greensboro with the Martins. The overall trip varied which was really enjoyable since Rowan is officially on the move and getting faster by the minute. Variety is the spice of life in our family - lots of stroller walks - as much time as we can spend outside the better. Rowan's taste buds are continuing to expand with new experiences in the food department - chicken nuggets, watermelon, yogurt smoothies, blueberries, whole green beans. He is starting to really enjoy our food more than his baby food, so I have a feeling we'll be off baby food in no time.
Weighing in at 23lbs 10oz, Rowan is definitely growing and keeping us on our toes. His personality is really starting to emerge - he's a very focused and all boy! He crawls to show us where his ball, cup, truck and book are around the house. He prefers a ball over any toy though and will seek it out first every time! One of the most exciting experiences for us is watching his language skills develop - making new sounds. We think he's definitely going to have an opinion because he is constantly "talking" to us.
