my widda rowan bug,
10 months. this has been a fun month too. (i'm really loving the last couple months if you cant tell!) your personality just keeps blossoming, and i love watching you learn new things.
- you have become a dancing machine this month! on about the 2nd note of a song, you are bouncin up and down, clapping your hands! a commercial, a show, a movie, your dad singin a tune.. no matter what it is, you just LOVE to dance!
- you are communicating more and more and i feel like you are beginning to understand what i say to you. especially when you are told no. you look at me and grunt. a sign of things to come? i hope not.
- you learned to love reading this last month! you love this one book especially called "Peekaboo Kisses". you pick that out above all of your other toys.
- i love hearing you say "momma!" and i think we've almost got "dadda" down. not quite, but almost.
- you developed a fake laugh. and when we hear it, we do it back to you, and you repeat it over and over. its beyond fake, and hilarious.
- you got yet another tooth this month. total = 8.
- you are doing everything you can to avoid crawling. you will roll over and over until you reach what you want, or you will contour your body into any shape so that you can reach it. and you get quite frustrated not being able to get it. come on baby girl, just learn to crawl! i swear it will make your life easier (not momma's, but it's okay.)
- you still love being able to get out of the house. you are the best baby anywhere we go because you are enthralled by everything around you.
- no more helmet! yahoooooooo. we cant believe the world of difference it made in your pretty round head. we are so grateful we did it, but so grateful its over too.
- you have gotten a little feisty in the last couple weeks. you will have moments of frustration and just grunt and yell and grab the first thing you can and bite on it as hard as you can. 99% of the time, its one of momma's fingers. yikes, how bout we put a stop to that one.
- you love playing "peekaboo", and sometimes i catch you playing it with yourself ;) funny girl.
- it was my birthday last week and you decided that you would cuddle with me for about 15 minutes. that never happens, and it was the best birthday present ever!
- still sleeping about 12 hours every night. and taking 2 naps during the day that last about 2 hours each. you sure do love your sleep!
i'm trying not to think about your first birthday but its so hard! two months away, i can just not even begin to believe that you are almost one. oh well- i'll deal with it in two months. i'm so grateful for you baby love. love you more than words can say.
the world is yours, rowan.
love momma.

yay! no helmet!
we went to rowans helmet check up two weeks ago, and she reached her goal!
we went in hoping that this was the apt she would get it off,
because she had been measuring ahead of schedule and there was a possibility,
and we were so pumped when he said she reached it.
she had it on a total of 2.5 months.
besides the insurance not covering one penny of the $2,000-
(we pay hundreds of dollars every month for what reason again?)
we are BEYOND happy that we decided to get it.
cause we completely see a difference in the shape of her head....
and the pictures prove it!
--i wish we would have taken a pic from the top, cause thats where i see the most improvement,
but these pics show alot as well.----
{before}
{after}
{yes, i am aware the shag needs a haircut}
that helmet was good to us, but sianara!!!
ps. thank you for all the sweet comments on my last post. its so encouraging knowing other mom's are/have been in the same boat! love you people!
