Rowan the fashion model

We had a request for a picture of Rowan modeling her wonderful hand knitted Italian scarf. She looks lovely in it. My friend Giusy made her that scarf and made me a matching one. How cute is that?

Our living is a wreck in the background, but gee whiz when isn't it these days. Oh well.

Rowan has also taken to modeling other rather more interesting items of clothing like my underwear. So far luckily she grabs a clean pair from the laundry basket and puts them on over her head. She is very particular about her underwear necklace. Granny panties just will not do. (Oh come on you know you own at least one pair). Rowan seeks out the pretty ones from Victorias Secret. She likes to admire herself in the mirror once they are securely in place. In the picture on the left, she is modeling two pairs of undies and a tank top.

She is getting to be such a big girl. She has six teeth and I think another on the way. She signs easily "more" "food" & "please". She has new words everyday, some stick and others don't. She says "Hi" and "Bye" beautifully. My heart is full to bursting. She is such a joy.

Daddy dignity

Rowan is a budding photographer. She loves to take photos with our cell phones. Usually she takes some great abstract shot of her Dora the Explorer scooter or some great angle on the carpet in the living room.

Recently though while Daddy was home alone on Peewee watch, Rowan took some rather interesting photos of Daddy. One was rather sweet of Daddy changing her diaper and then well there was this one. Poor Thom as a Parent you just don't get any alone time anymore.

The very first post

So this is it. My very first blog. I am now part of the 2000's people. Today my friend Briana helped me set-up this blog at her home while Rowan destroyed her fabulous living room. They will be finding dried apple bits in interesting places for the next two years. Her son Dylan has a super cute blog well worth checking out by selecting the Dylan in the last sentence. There is a video up there of Dylan rolling in the grass and you will see Rowan crashes his party and demands to be on film.

This photo was taken months ago at Lacy park. I love the way she holds the ball and has such lovely posture. I will try to get something more current up here as soon as I have a minute. Right now I think Rowan may actually be napping. When I last checked she was singing to herself and kicking her legs around. Ah I hear a new tune coming from the bedroom. So alas once more the afternoon nap alludes us.

I promise to write more later.
