Age:16 months, 14.5 months adjusted age
Weight and clothing size:
My tanker is 26.8 pounds, and boy is that deliciously chubby girl taking a toll on my body! My back and wrists ache with pain from holding her! We try to not overly hold her (mainly to encourage walking) but holy heck when we do, everything hurts! She is now getting too big for 2T! We are headed in the 3T direction. Still size 4 in diapers though honestly I think we could move up to 5.
Eating:
Rowan is still a pretty decent eater. and eats in big quantities. She is very sensitive to textures and gets easily grossed out. She's starting to eat more meat, which is good! She recently tried popsicles and loves them!
Rowan can:
-sign "please" (in addition to more and all done)learning to say "mama" in sign too.
-Tries to dress herself. It is quite funny, but amazes me that she is trying to do this! She'll try to put shirts over head, pants/shorts on top of her legs. Knows where to put her shoes and bows (of course can't put them on )
-She is crawling at lightening speed and cruises with such confidence. If she can't reach something, she gets on her tippy toes and tries to reach.
-doing some pretend playing. This is amazing! She recently got a play kitchen and will pull out pots and pans and stir them. She will then put things in the microwave, etc. I am LOVING all of this!
-Can identify where the lights, trees, moon are when asked.
-can now say "yeah", which cracks me up.
-When she wants something, she will point, look at you and say "kneeyah kneeyah?" LOL
-Sometimes in bath she will try and "bathe" herself which consists of rubbing her body wash all over
-can show you how old she is when asked
-If you ask her what the dinosaur says, she will growl at you!
-tries to put puzzles pieces back where they go. She can't put them back perfectly, but the fact she's trying is incredible.
Rowan loves:
-Sofia the first and Doc McStuffins. For my TV Nazis, don't worry, we don't do it all the time. We do it mainly when she needs breathing treatments because that's the only way she sits still. ANYWAY, she absolutely loves those 2 shows! She lights up when she sees the show come on! I have to admit, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Doc McStuffins, its so freaking cute!
-finally enjoying her stuffed animals. For a long time, she didn't really pay too much mind to her stuffed animals. Now she LOVES them! Her "squad" (sorry that word makes me laugh!) consists of Goldie the sheep, Petunia the hippo, and "Fia" aka her stuffed Sofia.
-loves playing with her play kitchen! Her amazing cousin Abby gave Rowan her old kitchen. Rowan loves it and is thoroughly entertained. It's situated in the kitchen and has been a life saver when I cook!
Rowan doesn't like:
-hates when meal time is over. Girl likes to eat! She is truly her mother's daughter!
-STILL doesn't like cake with frosting. I thought we were over that fear, but she had a cupcake for a birthday celebration and she cried like she got a shot. WHO IS SHE!?!?!
-doctors and nurses. Sigh. We have seen the doc twice this month for different things and every time she is terrified. They took her temp under her arm and she dramatically screamed and was shaking. What a drama queen! I heard this can happen around this age. I hope she gets over it, it's going to be a long winter :(.
Sleeping schedule:
Sleep has greatly improved this month! She sleeps well at night and takes good naps. She will occasionally fight a nap or two. Sleep is horrific if she is teething.
New happenings this month:
-Holy traveling!! We did a HUGE trip down to So. California last month. I honestly didn't know how babe would do, but my gosh, she was a ROCKSTAR! She did beautifully in the 12 hours drive (f-you LA traffic) and melted down just once because she had poop. It helped we took lots of car breaks.
-Rowan visited the zoo while down south! We met up with hubby's dear friend Shannon and her littles! She and I connected through facebook so it was fun to meet in real life.
-ROWAN VISITED DISNEYLAND! It was so much fun!! You can read it here.
-This mama did her first weekend away! I have never been away from Rowan for more than a night, let alone by myself. The weekend before school was my dear friend's bachelorette. I drove up to San Jose on Friday, ate lunch by myself and had a pedicure! HOLY RELAXATION!!! I forgot what it is like to do things by myself and it was glorious! I met up with one of close friends, Kristen. We had dinner and drinks with another friend, and went to a movie with some more friends. I embarrassingly slept through some of it :(, but that's #momlife for ya! The next day I went to Santa Cruz to meet up with the girls! Lots of fun, a little too much debauchery, but it was great! I sure missed my tribe though!!!
- Rowan started back up at Mom's preschool, and I started back at teaching at the end of July. She cried the first few days (despite she is in love with my mom) and I did too. I sometimes really HATE being a working mom. Thankfully, we are adjusting. I am so THANKFUL I have an amazing group of only 16 littles! They are a dream!
Here is my obligatory Rowan dump:
