Rowan turned 1 month today. And what better way to celebrate then to post a few videos. This first one is Rowan at the ripe young age of 15 days.
This afernoon Rowan and I spent some extra special time together. I say this not only because he seemed so happy but because he just couldn’t stop smiling at me! While I talked to him he watched me and looked me in the eyes. Moments later he was smiling and smiling! He even gave me a few coos. The brightness in his face gave me so much joy! Each and every day Rowan does something new to bring a smile to my face. I feel so happy to see that I am starting to do the same for him!
I guess writing about Rowan not sleeping well for 2 nights paid off because he did great last night. I hope I’m not jinxing us for tonight but it’s nice to have him back on schedule.
A couple of days after bragging about getting a decent amount of sleep, Rowan decided to change his pattern. He’s been more cranky than usual and sleeping less at night, which means Mama T and I have been getting less sleep too. We’re hoping this is temporary. Maybe he is going through a growing spurt.
Rowan had his second checkup with the pediatrician today. He is up to a whooping 8 pounds 1 ounce, up from 7 pounds even at his last checkup. The doctor was pleasantly surprised by his rapid growth, and said it was outstanding. I thought he should be a bit heavier but that just shows what I know, or rather don’t know, about the growth rate of a new born.
