FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

So here is the video of Rowan rolling over today. I was playing with him, trying to get him to do it and I found that all I have to do is barely touch his head and than he will roll!!!!

Eating, "talking"....can he get any cuter?


So the first video is of Cory feeding Rowan. He thought I was talking a picture and so it looks like we are teasing Rowan and it is pretty funny!

The next video is of Rowan trying to sit up from lying down, than talking and than seeing the camera and stopping, than talking again...and if you listen closely he is saying "dadda" although we aren't counting it because he doesn't know what he is saying.

So I think this is the cutest picture ever! My dad took this and thanks to Ryan we got this gorgeous smile.
I also realized that I haven't been posting a lot of what has been going on here. Life is pretty boring for the most part. Cory is doing well in school and work. While I hang out with Rowan all day. He still isn't rolling over regularly, but today he did it twice and when I grabbed the camera to do a video, he stopped. He is also quite the chatter box (wonder where he gets that from). He is so much fun. We are still having insurance problems with regards to his helmet and it is too confusing to even try and explain it here.
For those who are interested in me I haven't been doing too much. I have been picking up flu shot clinics here and there. I fell victim to the Twilight series right after we moved here. I was not going to read them because they were too popular and I don't like to be part of fads. But when we got here and had nothing to do I gave in and bought the first book. I was hooked. I am not like a lot of people and think Edward is the greatest (he actually drives me nuts in some ways), but Cory and I saw a lot of us in the book and we loved them. So I too am a Twilight addict. Cory is trying to convince me to go with the ladies from our ward to go and see it. I am not sure I want to go. I should so I can get to know more people. I will let you know if I go and see it.
That is life for us so far. We miss Utah and are looking forward to trying to see as many people as possible when we come for Christmas.

Oregon and Halloween

Sorry the pictures are not in order. Rowan and I went to Oregon this last week to visit my parents. We didn't tell my dad so that we could surprise him. He didn't react like I would have liked but he was excited that we came. We weren't able to do a lot that we had planned because it rained every day but Friday (the day we left), but it made for some pretty skies and I enjoyed having something other than sunshine for weather. Rowan didn't seem to mind the cold either.

This is one of my parents trees that is covered in spider webs and with the morning dew looked beautiful.


We went out to eat and the restaurant didn't have a place to put Rowan's carseat so I tried the highchair (because he can sit up on his own now) He didn't mind it.

On Friday my mom and I went for a drive and she showed me this river that was so fun to watch. The colors were gorgeous! There were still a lot of the Fall colors that made me miss Utah (Arizona is too brown).

We also went to walk around my dads work and they have this pond with ducks and we were shocked to find 16 baby ducks here! I didn't think they would have babies this late in the season!

For Halloween we went to Foothills Dance Studio to dance and have fun. I was Goth, Cory was the Devil and Rowan was a Chip en Dale dancer (a lot of our friends were not too happy with us because they had to explain to their kids what a Chip en Dale was :) )






Rowan also learned a valuable lesson at the party..... Skimpy costume equals winner!! Rowan won for the skimpist costume and we got free dance lessons. (and for those who are wondering he is chewing on a fake dagger!)

These videos are showing some of his new things. The first video is his squeel. I am trying to get him to do his growl without success. The second video shows him sucking on his bottom lip and about three-fourths into it he does his growl.

I need advice yet again. I am stressing out on a regular basis because Rowan is 5 months old and still is not rolling over yet. He just isn't interested. I can push him over and bring him back to his tummy (which most of the time he enjoys) but he won't even try on his own. Sometimes he will get up on his knees like he wants to do something but than he will stop. What do I do? I have tried to dangle his favorite toy, I have tried putting him on his side (sometimes works). I feel helpless and so frustrated.
