Just because it is QUIET!! And Happy ONE MONTH to my baby girl!

Ahhhhhhh...the sound of silence!  Both babies are nite-nite.  This time change thing over the weekend was definitely much more interesting with two little ones!  No nap whatsoever for Liam yesterday..which is VERY rare and Rowan, well, Rowan is all messed up with naps vs nighttime but we will get that all worked out! 

FINALLY, both kids seem to be getting over these colds.  Liam's nose is still running but the ear infection has seemed to clear up and his cough has gotten a little better.  Rowan is still a little stuffy, but done very well with it overall! 
Last Friday, Liam stayed home from school again, but we were able to venture out to Sprouts.  I mainly wanted some wine for the weekend ;) but we did need fruit and meat.  All went very well!!  Rick and I kicked off the weekend with a glass of vino on Friday night.  After a LOOOOONNG week, it was GREAT! 

Saturday morning, we were off and running!  Rick took Liam to soccer, while I took Rowan grocery shopping.  I came home and unloaded, as Rick headed to Target to try to get our camera fixed...well, it was fixed, needed to be charged.  Who knew cameras needed to be charged?!?!  ugh...I will try to post some pics at the end of this entry..if "time permits".  After Target, Rick and Liam went to have breakfast and play at ChickFilA and my sweet little girl and I headed out shopping..needed to return a bunch of stuff and buy some other little things.  We were all home at noon and then it was naptime.  Rick decided to take a trip to Home Depot to fix our roof...yes, you read that correctly, HE, with nooooo roofing experience whatsoever, decided he could save us 200 dollars and replace some shingles.  His words as he walked out to begin "listen for me and come to check on me"...okay, listen for falling Ricks??!?!  Well, he DID slip and came in with three "battle wounds"...scrapes on his legs and hand and I need to write this down so he remembers that he said "he will never get up there again.  He WAS scared"...hopefully there will not be, but let's see what happens next time.  But it is fixed.  YAY!  After naptime, we all went to the mall to look for clothes for our family pics on the 20th.  Well, Liam got a shirt, and Rick and I are still undecided as to what we will wear.  It is a work in progress, but I cannot say I am not stressing about what we all will look like!  to be continued on that one...

Saturday ended fabulously as we came home, cooked steaks on the grill, fed the kiddos, bathed the kiddos, all while have some wine!  Rowan took a little nap then and Liam, Rick and I watched "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation"  love that movie and being at the mall got me in the xmas spirit!  Liam LOVED the movie!  It was very cute!  He was in bed at 8:30 (old time)  Bedtime came somewhat early for the rest of us at 11..yay Rowan!

Sunday was a VERY relaxing day.  Liam got up at 7:30 (not too bad with the time change) we spent the day watching football, eating good food, resting, and we also watched movies of Liam as a baby.  He LOVED seeing himself on TV and I think it was good for him to see that he was a baby too!  And mommy took care of him just like I am Rowan now...he even started crawling around the room while he was watching it...silly boy.  It was loads of fun.  Great weekend, which always goes TOOOO fast!

Today Rowan is one month old!  CANNOT believe it!  You are such a joy.  Been smiling a lot more.  You are in 3 month clothes and almost a size 2 diaper.  You LOVE to be held and snuggle with mommy and daddy.  You are taking the bottles very well, when we give them to you.  You are starting to lose your hair on the top front, but still have your sideburns!  ha It is sooo super cute and makes you look like a little old man, but we still think you are just beautiful!!!  Not sleeping very well yet.  No consistent patterns to nap or nighttime, but we are working on it!  Mommy still feels pretty rested overall.  I am just loving every minute of watching you grow...but of course wish you would SLOW DOWN!!
Here are some recent pics....
