Merry merry!

On Rowan's first Christmas, he got lots of paper! He's such a slow gift-opener that this picture was from December 26.



Rowan also gave us a present: rolling over from back to front for the first time--then again immediately after. Then on Monday he cut his first tooth, and Tuesday rolled over again. Such a busy week!

Another day...

Another visit to mama's office.



Rowan was being held by Stephen before this and got upset--I'd walked away and a number of loving ladies swarmed around him. That's when I realized he was starting to develop attachments. Turns out one of his favorite things is simply to be held by someone he loves and look at someone else he loves, especially if that someone else is smiling and talking to him in a happy way. I hope his transition to the childcare center in January goes smoothly!

Dinner time

...but not for Rowan. Seth and I eat dinner and pick up toys, trying to predict which side they'll fall to. It's lots of fun.
