1st Birthday, Pt. 1

Rowan is one already! We had a nice birthday party at our house, lots of little kids made it.


Aunt Brenda gave Rowan a Handy Manny wheeled backpack... which Rowan has been rolling around ever since. It distracted him from a good part of his own party, in fact...


Rowan was only briefly interested in opening any presents. Luckily for him, his cousins Dylan and Lizzie were more then happy to help mom open everything.

Rowan and the Hose

I was cleaning Rowan's highchair on the back patio, and he decided that the hose that I left running was a great toy. It was like watching a train wreck, I knew it was going to end badly, but I couldn't look away, I could only video tape it so everyone else could see!

Apple Picking!

Rowan, Kristina and Grandma and Grandpa Price went apple picking. Rowan loved the apples, but once he had one, wasn't real sure why he should pick any more.



And I thought we just got apples at the grocery store...


Yummy!



Looking cute with Grandma!


I can see better up here!

Updates!

Well, I finally updated the blog, August 15th is the first new one. Rowan is walking really well now. I can't seem to find good video from right when he started, but he was walking right after he turned 10 months old. (he's trying to run some now.) We are getting ready for his first birthday party, it doesn't feel like it's been a year already!

At the Park

We've been going to the park recently, as he seems to be big enough to enjoy some of the play gyms.



He did eventually climb these stairs, although he was very interested in eating the wood chips.


A climbing wall! Climber in the making!


He only need a little help placing his feet to make it up this climby thing, which was 6 or 7 feet high.


I like slides!!


This is like being trapped in my playroom!

Shopping and cooking with Rowan

Kristina came back from the store, and of course, Rowan wanted to help with the groceries. Of course, if it was actually helpful or not is up for debate.

He was espically excited when he found out he was helping unload his food.


If you help with groceries, you might as well help with cooking!

Don't leave me!

Don't leave me in here with the dogs! This is just after our windstorm, as we were outside looking at the destroyed chunk of our fence. (and left us without power for 3 days)
