Photo Assault

As promised, lots of pictures of my kiddos. These are in no particular order. Here's what's been happening with us lately:

Lots of naps. Glorious, glorious baby-on-chest naps.

Those of you who read this blog when Rowan was brand new may recall a very similar picture of him, right down to the fauxhawk, button nose, and good baby tan.

It has since fallen out, but I'm so glad I got photo documentation of his insane cheek hair. Total werewolf baby.

Milk drunk.

Lots of play-doh. And many thanks for the ability to make play-doh at home, so I don't have to be stressed about what is being put in Rowan's mouth when he makes a "sammich" and just can't resist the temptation to take a bite. I had to add some flour to it after a couple days, and he really

enjoyed that. A total pain to clean up, but at least it made for some cute pictures.

Lots of brotherly love. Rowan loves shaking hands lately, especially with people at church. One day he was lying next to Silas and started saying, "Shake... shake..." and trying to show him how it's done.

Speaking of Rowan, and how he is handling having Silas around, he is doing pretty well. There may be a bit of imitating a baby on his part. Like how he steals all of Silas' pacifiers. Funny, they had no appeal whatsoever the first two years of his life.

We went to a little fall festival a couple weeks ago. We would have taken pictures of Rowan on a pony, if he hadn't been a) completely terrified to go near the ponies and b) way more interested in the horse trailer they arrived in.

I skipped the chance at eating a fried Snickers, regrettably, but did manage to order us a chocolate dipped cheesecake. Yum.

You can file the next few pictures under "Things That Have Recently Blown Rowan's Mind":

-chocolate dipped cheesecake (obviously)

-having his carseat turned forward-facing (side note: This makes for SUCH easy temper tantrum avoidance. Whenever he is about to have a meltdown about something, we need only say, "Look at that bus/tree/tractor!!!!!" and he is completely distracted.)

-Nutella (He's never had it before, and may never have it again, because I lack so much willpower with that stuff that I can't buy it anymore. Tough luck for both of us.)

And these pajamas blow my mind with how cute they are:

And this is what usually happens when we put #1 to bed with footie pajamas:


And this is #2 getting more adorable by the minute:
