Early February 2009

Rowan is still a bit too small for her activity center..but she enjoys it already!

It's never too early to start a love affair with books, right?

Rowan's Baptism and Party

Rowan was baptized on Sunday, February 8. It was a very special day for us. Rayne and Paige are her godparents. Deacon Robert officiated the ceremony, which was small and private as hers was the only baptism that day. Afterward, we had a party for her at the house with family and friends. It was a beautiful, wonderful day! We asked anyone wanting to give a gift to share with her a copy of their favorite children's book--what a great idea, as she received several very special books that will be cherished forever...and read to her over and over again!

Rowan liked the water being poured over her head. She may have thought she was getting a bath!

Late January 2009

Rowan turned 3 months on January 27th! Time flies! She is currently figuring out how to laugh...almost there!

Daddy was showing her how to use the computer! I hope she's looking at horsey web sites, and not researching custom hot rods! :)

Rowan was getting sick of cheesy shots, and starting to show it!

When did she learn how to look directly into


the camera?? What a little ham!

Our sleeping angel.

Rowan's smile is immensely powerful! Nothing else can melt our hearts the way her smile can. It's highly contagious too!













Mmm..yummy sweater! When she woke up and realized it wasn't mommy, she was less than pleased!

Rowan's First December

Rowan loves her bouncy chair--as long as she isn't in it for more than 10 minutes! :)
