4 Months

Since my 3 month post was so late, 4 months came quickly. Our girl is just as sweet and laid back as ever. She is trying so hard to roll over, her hiccups have subsided and she loves chewing on her pointer finger. She is using the jumper and the exersaucer now. She loves being able to see everything going on around her, which is a lot of "to infinity and beyond" these days. This is a picture of her and I at the Tulsa Zoo. What do you think? Do we look alike?

Preschool Begins

Last week we loaded Rowan up for his first day of preschool.



When we got there I tried to get a picture of him outside the school but this was what he left me with. Something about the sun in his eyes was his excuse.



This is the "I'm not so sure" look he gave just as we were entering the room.



Then he went off exploring the kitchen area with Livi.




We told him we were leaving and that we would be back in 5, 10 minutes. 5, 10 minutes is our only concept of time with him. He cried but let his teacher hold him and we went on our way, a few tears on our end too. The good news is that the tears have subsided and he is enjoying himself at school. The only complaint from him is that his class isn't allowed to climb in the tree house when they go outside. His teachers told us that he is very polite and likes to hang with the adults. Is he still too young for cooperative play or is he just too smart for all of these other 2 year olds? ;)

Baby Pool

I must let you know that Rowan has 3 swimsuits but it seems that he prefers something a little more European;)

Eating Raisins With Pliers

I'm not sure where Rowan comes up with some of his stunts. This one was superb. He sat on top of the table with a box of raisins and a pair of pliers.



Skillfully retrieved them out of the box, one by one, with pliers.



And then ate them.



Delish!

Chocolate Donut Anyone?

We went to open gym at Gymnastic Joe's this morning and Ro scored a chocolate donut. He hated every bite;)
