Blog Description

Welcome to the Rowan Family Blog! I finally gave in and decided to make one so that it would be easier for family and friends to keep up with little Miss Callie and now little Miss Hailey! I hope to keep a good record of the happenings in their lives and the joys that come with being a family. God has truly blessed us with our girls and we are so excited to be parents to them and Chile!

"Aunt" Amanda's Visit!

Well one of my best friends came in town to see Callie for the first time. She drove all the way from Clovis, NM which was a twelve hour drive! It has been so much fun hanging out all week. Callie, Amanda and I have gone out to lunch and out shopping many times! Today we had Callie's two month check up and shots! The shots were not fun, but she only cried for a minute or so. Everyone in the waiting room was hurting for Callie. They all had a sad face when she started crying. So did Amanda and I! Amanda waited in the waiting room while I took her back for shots and she said that everyone said aww when Callie started crying. She has 2 red crayon shaped band aids on her chubby little thighs! But other than that her appointment went great. She weighed 11 lb and 13 oz which puts her in the 58th percentile. Her length was 23.5 inches, which puts her in the 78th percentile! Now I already had a talk with Callie and told her to enjoy being in the 78th percentile for length while she still can! Ha! Her head measured 39cm which is in the 39th percentile. Dr. Swarts was very happy with Callie's growth and progress. One thing that we are going to start working more on is tummy time, so that she can get her arm strenth up to help her lift her head up. I am soo happy that her appointment went so well today! She is growing healthy and strong! We are so blessed to have Callie Michelle in our lives! I love that girlie sooo much!
Here is the band aid that Callie has! Such a big girl! She was so brave!!
Here are some pictures of Amanda's visit. Love you all!! Oh and hopefully in a few days we will get the pictures back that we had taken of Callie. The photographer has a website where you put in a password to view all of the pictures. I will post that when I get it! :)

Callie is almost 2 months!!!

Wow, time has absolutely flown by! Our sweet little girl is almost 2 months old! I really don't know where it has gone! Callie is growing so much lately. When she was born she weighed 7lb 12oz and now she weighs over 11 lbs! We are finally settling into a routine. She is sleeping from about 11pm to 9am (waking up 3 times to eat). During the day she enjoys her swing, floor gym, bouncer and snuggling with mommy of course! She also loves riding in her Baby Bjorn carrier. I love that thing! It is so nice to be able to carry her around the house and still have both hands free! But she is getting so heavy!! Good thing for my back she's not in my tummy any more! My favorite thing is her smile. She has really started smiling a lot now! She gives her daddy big smiles when he holds her and makes funny noises. :) She is really starting to look at her toys and enjoy playing on her floor gym. You can really tell that she is looking around and taking it all in. Another thing that she has started doing recently is cooing. She makes the most adorable little baby noises. I'm so blessed to be her mommy. Another really amazing thing is watching Matt as a daddy. It is the most wonderful thing I have ever seen. He loves her so much! I love watching him hold her and play with her. He gets so excited when she smiles and makes her sweet little noises! Yesterday I caught them sleeping on the couch together and it was the sweetest sight. Matt is such a wonderful daddy and I am very thankful for him! Well with Matt's crazy shift work, it makes it really difficult to go to church together as a family. But this past Sunday Callie went to church for the first time. She sat with us through the whole service and didn't cry once! I was so proud. Until next time... love you all! Here are some random pictures! Enjoy
