Update on Rowan

I decided that I needed to add a little update on baby Rowan. I feel kind of bad because she is the 4th of 4 girls and I don't really post any of her milestones.

This is Rowan before she came out to meet her family. We were super excited for her arrival. Even though she was the 4th girl we couldn't have been happier for her to join us!!!

Here she is in all her glory!!  February 5th 2010. A whopping 6lbs 13 oz! I know that doesn't seem that big to most people but she was two pounds bigger then my biggest baby! She was by far the easiest delivery!

She has also by far been the happiest baby!! She started smiling at two days old (I know she wasn't doing it on purpose) but still she would smile, and make all of us smile! This was Rowan her second day home.

Rowan would do this cute little "O" with her mouth from about three days old until she was probably two months old. Now that I think back, all my girls did this with their mouth when they were newborns.

Rowan had her fist photo shoot at 5days old. I know the bow is huge but I liked it for a prop ha ha.

End of February 2010, about 2 1/2 weeks old. Rowan with her Great papa and grandma Gallagher. They love to see her! I am so happy she has so many opportunities to meet and spend time with all her Great grandpas and grandmas. She has four great grandpas and three great grandmas that get to see her at least once ever two months or so.

Rowan was blessed on March 7th by her daddy! It was such a special day. I am so grateful for Brian and all he does for his girls!! Rowan is defiantly a daddy's girl for sure!!

Rowan 5 weeks old.

Rowan  about 9 weeks old.

When Rowan see her daddy come in she starts yelling at him to make sure he sees and says something to her. She will keep yelling at him until he looks right at her and say something to her.

May 2010 about 3 1/2  months old.  She rolled over for the first time. Rowan was full on smiling every time we talked to her.She loves to goo and talk her own little language. She loves to watch her sisters run around, and loves when they talk to her! She lights up when mommy walks in the room. She started sleeping 6-8 hours in a row at night!:)

June 2010 about 4 1/2 months old. She is playing with toys and putting them in her mouth. She loves her feet and hands. She loves when we sing to her. When she cries we can start to sing a song to her and she stops right away to listen.

July 2010 She is 5 months old. Rowan has turned into a MOMMIES GIRL. This is a good and bad thing. Good because I feel so loved by her, she is so happy in my arms and I just love to hold and cuddle with her. She gives me a huge smile every time I make eye contact with her. Bad because I can't leave her with ANYONE with out her being a naughty baby, so this means... she goes everywhere with me! To the bathroom, the movie, grocery shopping, craft nights, you get the picture!

August 2010 about 6 months old. She has started eating all kids of baby foods.  We came up to my parents house(in Utah) for 3 weeks. This is my nephew Krew with Rowan. I was feeding her, baby food and I ran out so I told Krew to watch her while I ran in the house to get more. I told him" if Rowan start to cry  sing to her"... Krew didn't know papa King was looking out the window watching him. This is what he did while he was watching her for me... Rowan: crying

Krew: "Rowan you okay!

Rowan:" crying"

Krew:" la la twinkle little star, here hold my car"

Rowan: looking at the car and then starts eating the car.

Krew: " OH NO! Yuck!

Rowan: "SCREAMING"

Krew:" Um.. aunt Kayla!!!"

Ha ha he is so darn cute!! He was such a good baby sitter!! He loves her and its so sweet!

September 2010 7 months old. By now she is eating baby food about 3 times a day. She still nurses about 8 times a day. She loves her food!! She is a great eater.

She loves to eat table food too! She loves corn, potatoes, tiny pieces of chicken, lasagna, pretzels, just about anything we eat she wants to eat too! (Hope that's okay ha)

She got her fist tooth on the bottom right two days after she turned 7 months old. She got her second tooth bottom left two days latter. Poor baby! But she was still happy the whole time! We just love this little girl SOOOOOO MUCH! 

This is a little sneak peek at her in her Halloween costume! Man that's one cute baby lamb!!

Lake Powell trip.

It was so hard to leave all this behind !! Laundry + all the help that comes with it, cleaning, dropping/picking kids up from school, cooking dinner, breaking up fights, lots and lots of "Mommy she looked at me "Mommy she is wearing my shirt, picking up toys, and our jobs.But I think we found a way to keep our minds off everything we were missing at home!! Brian and I (and a nursing Rowan) went on a couples trip to Lake Powell with our friends form Utah. There were 14 couples on this trip. We stayed on our friends house boat. We have not been on a couples trip sine the twins were 14 months old(The twins  are now 4) so it was desperately needed!! We went for 4 relaxing days. The weather was perfect, we ate like Kings and had all the water toys you could want. We loved spending time together as a couple.Rowan had a blast!! 1 baby + 14 mommies missing there kids at home = 1 spoiled baby Rowan:) Rowan was passed around from mommy to mommy never put down, only to sleep. Needless to say, she was a happy camper with a rude awaking waiting for her when we got back into the real world of 4 kids and one tired mommy.We have such great friends!!! I love it when we are able to meet up with them for fun times like this! This is Brian wake boarding, we all know how amazing he is at wake boarding/surfing/snowboarding, but it has been a while since I have seen him do any of those. I have to say I was very impressed! WOW! In one of  these videos  he is not only doing flips on his board but he is flipping over Curtis's head while Curtis is on the jet ski ridding behind the boat!And then there is me... Wow this is embarrassing, I was just lucky to  get up for 10 seconds without knocking my teeth out!Up for 10 seconds.... and back down I go!!What a great trip and wonderful friends!!!!

Camping with the King's
