The Lonely Goatherd


BIER!, originally uploaded by PieGirl!.

When we discovered that Rowan's lederhosen (thank you again, Tante Alys) would be the perfect fit by Halloween we just knew he had to go as the Lonely Goatherd from The Sound of Music. If mama could have gotten her Maria costume together in time she would have been working his puppet strings. But he looked cute just the same. We have a video, too. So check back later for that.

another overdue update

Here are some photos taken in August, during a visit from Tante Alys ('tante' means aunt in German).


Uh, oh - is this being documented for posterity?



Rowan and Alys have their best game faces on:
Grrrrr!



Smiley Guy!


How can you NOT love this guy? Rowan, you're awesome!

Rowan is 1/2 years old today!


Does not compute!, originally uploaded by PieGirl!.

On May 27th, Rowan turned 1/2! He also had his 6-month pediatrician's appointment, and he is THRIVING. He is up to 19 lbs. 8 oz., and he's 29 inches long, which puts him off the charts for length! I think we have a baby Uncle Steve on our hands... Rowan is eating rice cereal now and trying different vegetables. Happy 1/2 birthday little guy - keep up the great work!

We Went to Delawhere????


I want my hair to do that!, originally uploaded by PieGirl!.

Rowan finally made it to the East Coast where he met literally hundreds of friends and family members for the first time. He was a rock star and handled it unbelievably well. More pictures will be added as people send them my way :)

Our two babies

Since Rowan joined our family unit, Harry has made efforts to make sure we don't forget that he is also our baby.

This is what Cali Babies do all day

After almost 11 weeks of living so close to the Pacific Ocean, Rowan finally found the time to head over to Coronado to see the beach. It was a warm February day and it seemed like the perfect time to get a taste of what we have to look forward to in a few months.

Rowan looked so cute in his new red sweatsuit that Grammy brought him. We were very excited that it fit! Check out our photoshoot (just click on the picture)

Sling High, Sling Low...

Why am I wearing a snow hat? My time in San Diego has weakened me. Look away!


I am loving this awesome sling thing! Rowan is a little snuggle bug and loves to be held...now I can do that and update the blog at the same time. Thanks Aunt Johnna!

No need to photoshop this picture, Johnna! You look great in your periwinkle polo.

Glowin', Growin'...Rowan!

In-Zein Weekend!




We just had the best weekend with Violetta and Nic! It was Nic's birthday and those two champickles drove down from L.A. to hang out with the San Diego crew. We spent lots of time in our pajayjays, but also found some time to venture out to Extraordinary Desserts to celebrate the birthday boy, had a jaunt to Balboa Park to not go to MOPA, and an orgasmic visit to the Hash House a go-go for one of the best meals of our lives. We also hung out at the chiropractor for about an hour. Rowan was an angel baby almost the entire time. We were all very proud. Take a look at pictures from my flickr page and then check out the rest on Nic's page.

Click here to see some pictures of the weekend.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the weekend!

Highlights from Grammy & Grampy's Visit


Grammy with Rowan.


Grumpy - er, Grampy with Rowan.


Where are we going?



Who will blink first?

Also, I'm glad I wear glasses. Otherwise, Rowan's still-developing laser vision powers might have singed my eyebrows or burned my retinas.
