Well, I guess its been awhile- I've been enjoying my boys and my time at home. I would say things are now back to "the new normal" around here. Pretty much the same as before Rowan arrived- execpt that now I tote two kids out and about with me to playdates. Truthfully I can't just sit at home everyday or I get stir crazy and so does Sawyer. We have been out and about and we really enjoyed the warm weather here last week. We went to the park with granny and also with friends and played outside in the yard a lot which was wonderful! We are getting excited to start our garden. I think each year we buy more seeds than the previous year! Can't wait! We also bought some new fruit trees to plant this year- something we have been meaning/wanting to do since we moved in! Two apple trees, two pear trees, a peach tree and a plum tree- they are yearlings so we wont get fruit for at least 3 years but 3 years goes by so fast! And at the rate that Sawyer eats fruit now we are going to need them in 3 years. I realized recently that my family eats 12+ pounds of fresh fruit every week! Yep, you read that right, shocked me too! But I make everyone each fruit at each meal- healthy and delicious, can't beat that! Its exciting to think that we can grow our own.
Sawyer finally had his 2 year Dr. appointment and as always, he is a big boy. Dr. W was pleased with how well he talks also. Full blow sentences and conversations now, and the kid is a jabber box- I dont think he stops talking! And he also makes up new stories everyday to tell me- ussually involving himself, owls, eagles and Cooper dog. Lately an owl takes him away and cooks him/me/cooper into macaroni. And he is into telling jokes- apparently macaroni and poop are the two funniest things when you are two because all of his jokes revolve around one or the other. He is quite creative. And he seems to like being a big brother- he likes to touch Rowan's hair and tonight he told me- Rowan has small hands mom, but I have big hands! And he asks for Rowan to do things with him, such as Baby Rowan take a bath with me, Baby Rowan play cars with me, ect
Rowan had his 2 month Dr. appointment and was also a big boy- apparently I grow large children. He was 14lbs 12oz and 24.75 inches. 90% for both height and weight. I now have 50lbs of children- and somehow manage to still lug them both around. He is into 3-6 month clothes already but he can still wear 0-3 pants since he still has a skinny waist for now. Rowan so far has been a pretty easy baby. Right after he came home he caught some nasty boogery gunk from Sawyer and was a bit fussy until that was gone- but now he really just goes with the flow and spends a majority of the day sleeping on me in the baby carrier while Sawyer goes to playdates with his friends ect. He smiles a lot now and is one the verge of giving us a big belly laugh, he just does little "ha ha's" as of now. He loves to watch everything that Sawyer does- if Sawyer is around Rowan's eyes are glued on him. This makes for easy tummy time which is awesome. Everyday he seems more laidback and happy. I think for me going from 1 kid to 2 has been less of a transition than going from 0 to 1. It just seems like he has been here all along.
