9 months

I wanted to write a brief happy birthday message to my sweet boy. Yesterday, Rowan turned 9 months old! As you can see, he's getting into all kinds of things. Wendy took this photo of him stalking her cat Earl. He seems so pleased with himself. :-)

I'll post some stats next week after we visit the pediatrician on Monday.

Just another week...

This week has been uneventful, thank goodness. Last week was plenty exciting enough for awhile. Rowan's top two teeth have completely emerged and he is feeling much better. Teething must be a terrible experience, especially if you have no earthly idea what is going on. 

I don't know what we have planned for the weekend. Probably not too much. It's probably good that we take it easy while we can. The holidays are sure to be hectic.

I've posted a few new photos. You can see Rowan's new teeth in one of them. 

Happy Friday, everyone! 

Vote!

The three of us took a lovely stroll down to our polling site today. Apparently 1:30 was the time to be there. We waltzed right through with no lines and no waiting. 

Cruisin'

We went trick-or-treating with the Carrolls on Friday night and had a fun time. Their neighborhood sponsored a children's parade on the next street over. We took turns pulling the boys in our new wagon so they could take in all the crazy Halloween sights and sounds. 

Not only did Rowan get a new wagon for Halloween, the Carrolls sent us home with their baby walker. (Shhh! Don't tell our pediatrician.) I didn't even know they still made those things. It's kind of cool. It's rectangular instead of round, like I remember from my childhood. Maybe it's more stable that way. At any rate, Rowan really likes it! He cruises around looking for stuff to get into. We are impressed with how skilled he is at negotiating turns already. He's also figured out how to take his socks off when he is in the walker. Such a stinker!

There's more exciting news... Rowan's top teeth are coming in! I felt the top left one this morning. 

Edit: Both top teeth are coming in!

I've posted photos from the last few days. Check 'em out.
