What did we do before Rowan?

Watching Maddy during Boppy time

So alert and inquisitive

Classic Dad Allen picture. Rowan is following in his footsteps already!

It is so helpful to have the kids around to hold him and feed him!

Dawson's Half Birthday Celebration at school

Napping in his new swing from Grandma, Grandpa and Trever

Dawson passed off his level 1 and 2 skills in gymnastics. He is almost on the pre-team!

Ro loves to be "worn". He prefers to face out to be part of the action. I have occasionally gotten food in his hair from trying to eat while he is attached to me!

Rowan is over 5 weeks old now, and it feels like he has always been a part of our family! I can't believe he hasn't been around forever! We have had so much fun watching him grow up. He now has a double chin and a little Buddha belly. We can't wait for him to smile and show us his double dimples! He loves to be awake and looking around. He rolls over from his belly to back if he is mad (crazy!) and he always has his hands by his face! He eats about 4-5 oz every 3-4 hours and sleeps about 4 hours at a time through the night. Not too bad! He loves his Baby Einstein Cds, and he is still working on his smile!

Mason is in the middle of basketball season. His team is doing well, and he has made some good shots. This is his first year on the traveling team. He keeps bringing home A math tests, so we get to use his coupons to different restaurants around town.

Brooklyn is doing great with her gymnastics. She landed a front flip on her own and almost has her back handspring down. We are working on an Elephant habitat this weekend and she has taken up cross country skate skiing with Mase. They look like little penguins on skates! I am proud of how dedicated they are to learning it.

Dawson celebrated his half birthday in Kindergarten. He knows over 100 site words and has been doing AWESOME in gymnastics. He also finished up his first season of basketball.

Maddy is doing great in preschool. She knows all of her letters, sounds and shapes. She just mastered a backbend and back handspring in gymnastics.
