Lick Creek Park

We woke up Saturday morning to beautiful weather, 70ish and not a cloud in the sky. These type of days have seemed few and far between since Rowan was born. The clouds have lingered around here producing absolutely no rain but dreary days instead. So needless to say we enjoyed this day outside. Lick Creek park is a leash free park (except for mean chihuahuas) and it is probably the least developed park in the BCS area with not much more than equestrian and hiking trails. We called our forever faithful friends, John and Jess (and Malcolm, their dog) to come along. Rowan loved our walk. He started out in the sling but got hot and wanted out, indicating this with his grunts that he does so well. We learned that pale babies need sunscreen and shades even in January. No sunburn or anything just the most sun he has had since he made his appearance into this big world. We all had our turn carrying him as he took it all in. He was awake most of the time and talked into our ears as we strolled along. He was a sweetie as usual.

By the way our 2 month appointment went well. He weighed 13lbs, 13ozs and I think it was 23 inches, but I could be wrong. I'll have to ask Esten and get back. He got both the DTap and Rotavirus vaccines. And I'm debating now whether to fully or selectively vaccinate him. Either way he's not getting all of them at once and will have to go in once a month to get a vaccine. It costs more and he has to get shots once a month but I (along with others who wrote all of the books, blogs, etc.. that I've been researching with) feel like his immune system will be better able to handle the vaccines this way and if he did have a reaction to one of them it would be easier to pinpoint which one.
