SMILESSo this week I have been looking through our pictures over the year. We are pathetic and have more pics of Rowan than of either Cory or me. And looking through them I noticed how many smiles I have from my little boy. So, this post is a collection of his smiles. (plus we haven't done anything exciting to warrant pics!)

More Rowan (sorry, Cory and I don't do very many exciting things!)
He wasn't sleeping well, so I though maybe he wanted a pillow (cuz he kept trying to sleep on his bear). We had this Ladybug pillow that Heather gave me for my birthday and figured, hey, why not? And Rowan loves it!! He now will also put his pacifier on it when he gets up in! (he only uses it for sleeping)
Rowan loves to "read". He is always bringing books to us. I just (literally) got a pic of him in the love sac "readng" a book!
The first video is Rowan giving himself shaken baby syndrome! j/k He has learned to shake his head "no", although he doesn't know that it means "no" he just enjoys doing it! And that at the end I got him to do a few of the signs he knows.
The next video is of Rowan "reading". you may have to turn the sound up really loud to hear his babbling, but it is really cute!

WOW!! It is definitely too hot here in AZ!! So things that have been keeping us entertained??? Rowan and Jewelry. For those of you who don't know, Cory and I like to make jewelry. Cory has made some really cool rings, pics to come soon
And than there is Rowan. He is so much fun. He loves to be scared and will keep coming back for more!! He now knows 2 signs... "more" and "please". Which has kind of helped to ward of some of the whinning. He loves to "read" and I need to get a pic of him "reading" his books, but I can't do it without him noticing and the second he sees the camera he is up and attacking the camera!
We have weaned him off the bottle. Which was an adventure...I kept trying to give him warm milk in a cup, sippy cup, straw cup and he would have none of it. I didn't want to give in and give him a bottle but I didn't want him to get dehydrated either.... so I gave up and gave him cold milk in his straw sippy cup...he drank the entire thing (which is the equivalant of a bottle) so quick! And he has not missed his bottle! YEAH!!
Another adventure is swimming. Rowan is so independant he doesn't want to be held while swimming. So we got him a life jacket so he can have more freedom and we don't have to hang out at the stairs the whole time!
He also loves to "dance" and wave his hands like he is leading the music. (video to come soon).
He also gets this adorable grin and giggle whenever he is getting into something he knows he isn't supposed to!! He is learning to copy ALOT which is so much fun!!

4TH OF JULY
Friday night the dance studio that we love to go to had a 4th of July/ 1 year anniversary party. It was so much fun!!! Rowan was a hit and did great even though we kept him up really late. He even "danced" which was bouncing up and down a little (more pics to follow soon, hopefully)
And this pic is just for comparison (2 months old, on the day they opened!!)
Than on Saturday we were able to go and watch fireworks with some great friends.
Rowan spent most of the time running around even though the fireworks didn't start til 9:30. He was really good as long as he could run around
I couldn't get a good picture (this is as close as I could get) but Rowan kept pointing at the fireworks and making happy noises!!
He loved being sprayed with the spray bottle
He loves to be dangled, and swung, etc
This isn't 4th of July stuff, but was too cute to pass up. He loves his daddy!
This is how he gets off the love sac, it looks awful, but the pic is really worse than it looks. He loves to get on and off it by himself!

Here we are at the zoo. This is Rowan's first Carousel ride. He wasn't too sure of it at first but I finally got a pic of him waving!
They had a splash pad and Rowan was hot so we let him play in it. He learned quickly that the water squirted out of the ground but it would still scare him when it came up!
He was so tired!!
He loves to "play" playstation with Daddy!
Our first bad head injury. He loves to be scared and we scared him and he turn and ran head first into a corner!! I wish I had gotten a pic right after because it swelled up so big it was scarry! But he is ok, other than the bruise.
The first video is Rowan giving Kiwi a kiss. He loves the bird and now that Kiwi has gotten to know Rowan she actually likes him too (she used to hiss and squawk when she saw him)
The next video is him doing his cute tricks.
