oh my little Rowen!!!! I wish i were at a point in my life where i was better at documenting all your "HAPPENINGS". BUT, i am grateful that i have a camera phone so close to me. That makes up for a bit of my slacking. The above picture documents Rowen's love for SHOES! this particular day i couldn't even get a diaper on him before he needed his shoes.... and once they were on he was OFF to conquer the day! SOOOO naturally i took a picture :)

these next pictures melt my heart! after a long day, checking in on Rowen sleeping gives my the strength to try again the next day! he looks so peaceful and cuddly while sleeping. he LOVES his pink and purple teddy bears.... and i love his sun-kissed cheeks and sun-bleached hair. summertime is good.

 rowen would ride his bike EVERY MINUTE of EVERYDAY if he could. as soon as pull into garage he is trying to make a dash to the bike.

 ej was (and still) never a climber. one magical day climbing 'clicked' for rowen and i found him in various places all over the house....

....rowen is LOVING Mickey Mouse! at lunch we can't cover his face with food so the food, naturally, goes on the countertop!

 Adventures with ROWEN-
                                {he is always getting stuck in weird places and getting into SOMETHING}

 {never a dull moment}

 helping himself to some Lucky Charms.... he was trying to pick all the marshmellows out

 ....ummmmm, who takes a bite out of the middle of the cone?!?

 we have to put him in onesies to sleep but he now gets his arms out....

 i love it when he answers back to cartoons after they ask a question. i love when he asks me to "hold you". i love when he snuggles up to me. i love how hard it is to keep him out of water. i love watching  his eyes absorbing everything around him.  i love hearing him say "there it is" when he finds something. i love his preference to be naked. he would go around in only a diaper if i let him! i love his smile an dimples. i love this little boy!
