Spinning!

For Adam & Julianne

Rowan, learning to say his Aunt & Uncles names, while playing with choo-choos.

Swimming!

We have a small pool for the backyard, and we filled it up for the first time this summer!


Rowan, helping fill the pool.


Helping, and figuring out how this could be fun!


Dad, running from Rowan with a hose.





Grandma and Rowan, after some swimming!

Awesome!

Best word to learn ever!

Choo-Choos!

Thanks to Aunt Sheryl and Cousin David, Rowan now has David's choo-choos from when he was a little guy! There is not much that makes him more excited then choo-choos. Right now, its the first place we go when we wake up, and about the only thing he wants to do.

Awesome!


He loves getting on the mow-mow's!



Zoned, watching a Show before bed.

Rowan at the Zoo!

Rowan and I went to the zoo today! We had a great time, and got to see the baby elephant, and ducks. We like ducks.


We started in the petting zoo, and were very good at helping to brush the goats...


And say hi (or maybe bye) to everybody...


Elephants!



You can see the new baby elephant, Beco, walking around with his mom...

Just a few more Zoo pictures.





Rowan loved the rays.

New Crocs!

Choo Choo

I'll let Rowan tell you what he's playing with!

Towers!

So, while I was cooking diner, Rowan was over by the pantry cabinet, and I figured he was just emptying it out, like usual. Instead, when I went around to check, he was building towers, as much as 5 Ravioli containers high, it was like he had a little fort. He was perfectly happy, and even let me leave the room to go get the real camera.





I asked him to say cheese, and got this smile and a "eese!"





This was dinner immediately afterwords. Yes, there is pasta in his hair. I think his head still smells like butter.



And watching a show before bedtime. Apparently, he's watched us put our feet up on the coffee table, and thought it was a good idea!

Puppy Riding

OK, so we don't let him do this anymore, it's really not puppy abuse!

Dancing Rowan

These are not the only time he's danced, just the only time I've actually gotten any video of it!

Clare!

Rowan and I went to visit our new cousin(kinda) Clare, along with her big brother Liam and mom Julie. (and Wilson, who makes an appearance in the pictures!) Rowan had a great time playing with Liam's toys, and I got to hold itsy-bitsy Clare!

We went to the Blue Jackets game, and because it was an afternoon game, we took Rowan along. Unfortunately, they went down 4-0 do the Red Wings, but we still had a good time.



Don't mind the picture, its a phone picture.


All of us, at the end of the game.


After a while, playing with the St. Patty's day Blue Jacket hat was more fun then watching the game...

Thailand

Rowan got this t-shirt from his Aunt MaryBeth, recently back(in China) from a trip to Thailand.

Vacuum

The kid has a serious vacuum problem. We're just hoping it continues when he is old enough to run a real vacuum! His favorite is if he can follow around the real vacuum, and "help."

Wearing the Fenerbahce Gear!

Fenerbahce is not the newest Italian designer, its a football club in Ankara, Turkey, where Uncle Adam and Aunt Julianne currently are. Rowan recently received his new Fenerbahce wear, and its awesome!

Just silly Rowan
