15 Months

Another amazing month with you has flown by. We are starting to spend more time outside and you are loving it! Well, except when I took you for a long run on a cold Sunday morning. You usually love looking around while in the stroller. I learned my lesson and won’t take you out in the cold again. Your dad built us a garden and we are so excited for next year. Right now you mostly just dig around eating dirt, but next year I think you will really be able to help grow and pick veggies.

Dying eggs with family

We got to go to Eugene for Easter. We surprised Grandpa.  We had so much fun spending time with family. You went on two Easter egg hunts! The first one was on Saturday at a church in a baseball field. You were quite happy with the two plastic eggs you found. You were not very happy that I wouldn’t let you eat the candy inside the eggs! That evening we went to the Thompsons and you got to dye eggs.  It was so much fun, until you started drinking the dye!  Sunday after church, where you bit my shoulder because I wouldn’t nurse you during the middle of mass, we again headed to the Thompson’s for another egg hunt and wonderful dinner with family. I really wish that we could see our family more often.

Right before you started drinking the dye!

James and you had a wonderful time the few days that we were there. You spend hours outside digging and eating dirt, chasing Rex, chasing the hula-hoop around the yard and running around the yard. Since then he keeps asking where is Baby Rowan, and even went to the bedroom to check to see if you were taking a nap!

Looking for eggs



 

 

 

Your health hasn’t been wonderful this month. You got your second ear infection and today you had another temperature of 100.5. I am hoping to fight off this infection before it gets too bad. I made garlic oil today for your ears. You were crying and refusing to eat, but as soon and I put the drops in you started asking for food and playing. So, I think it worked. We’ll see you feel in the morning.

Helping plant the garden.

We are so happy this month that you have started shoving books at us and then climbing on our laps. One night we read one book about 10 times in a row. You kept climbing down from one lap when the book was done and going over to the other. It was really funny. When I told you that that was enough and you needed to go get another book you when around the couch to the shelf and picked another. That was when I realized that you pretty much understand everything that we say to you. You want to talk, but the words are not quite there. Soon I hope.

Fun at the park with Grandpa



Two weeks ago you started drooling again. Your molars are starting to come in. I still can’t see them, but your gums are swollen.  I hope they come in soon. It would be nice if your shirt wasn’t covered in drool two minutes after I put it on you.
