Sigh, how did 11 months just fly by? I am in serious in denial that she is going to be ONE in just a few short weeks. Honestly, it makes me want to cry. I miss her tiny baby days!This is by far the craziest life change, but man, it has been amazing. I just love her!
Name: Rowan Decaris Potter
Rowan's age: 11 months old, 9.5 months adjusted age
Weight: 23.10 pounds, heading pretty close to 24 pounds! My big girl!!!!
favorite foods:
EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING. It amazes me all that she likes! She tried a pickle and didn't make a face. If anything, she got mad she didn't have more. This girl is very demanding when she eats and throws a fit if we don't feed her quickly. Oh child!
Clothing size: 24m is fitting just right. She's wearing 2T in pants and even some 2T in clothing. Dresses are more forgiving and she can sneak a 12m dress. Wearing size 4 diapers!
Rowan milestones (for her adjusted age, 9.5months):
-Rowan's vocabulary is starting to expand and while I obviously can't understand her, she is super verbal and makes long sentences of blends. When she is crying, she clearly makes strings of sounds and definitely is trying to complain. She may not be the most physical baby, but she sure as heck can communicate!
-Rowan officially has 7 NOT 8 teeth like we originally thought, lol! 4 top ones and they are getting longer!
-Rowan is getting pretty good at going from lying down to sitting up! I heard that's a tough-ish milestone for babies!
-Rowan is even more confident with her standing and LOVES it. She is starting to gain more strength in her legs.
-Rowan went from giving backward open/close hand waves to full blown arm waves! So cute
-She is starting to shake her head no if you ask her something. ::Sigh::
-Little miss likes pulling up on things, but chooses to pull on light weight items (like laundry baskets lol). Oh child!

Rowan loves:
-Sofia the first! While at my sister's it happened to come on and she screamed with delight. She watched it with rapt attention and could not be bothered.
-Drinking bath water. Gross!
-Loves to pull down shirts. I apologize to family and friends that have been subjected to Rowan's attempt to pull down your shirt, lol. If she succeeds, she loves to blow raspberries on your chest. Oh this child!

-Has a major affinity for dogs and horses. During her belated 9 month shoot in late February, we saw horses and she about flipped her lid. She loved the mama horse and her pony. She reacts this way with dogs. I think this means we need to buy her a pony and a puppy LOL!
-loves looking at the "other" Rowan. She loves any type of mirror and will scream with delight when she sees herself. Conceited much?? LOL. She also LOVES to kiss herself, it freaking cracks me up!
Rowan doesn't like:
-waiting for anything. LOL. She is so impatient!
-still hates being left alone, even for a second
-gets angry if you take something away from her

New things/happenings this month:
-Rowan went to her first high school swim practice and swim meet! This was so fun and OF COURSE I documented. Hubby and I were heavily into swim team and water polo, especially hubby. He was all American all through high school and college and was constantly in the paper. He has coached swimming for over 20 years. SO...guess what sports we want her to play?? We jokingly say she is going to carry on the "Potter swim legacy" LOL!!! Rowan has now gone to 2 practices and loves seeing the water splash and watching the kids. She at first didn't like the swim meet because it was VERY LOUD with the noise and buzzers. SHe gradually warmed up and ended up LOVING it!
-Rowan had pasta and of course gobbled it up.
-Rowan also tried the swings for the first time. I ashamed we haven't taken her sooner. We had to stuff blankets because she is so dang top heavy. At first she didn't know what to think but soon enjoyed it!
How is Rowan's spit up?: Practically non-existent!
Sleep:
Rowan is still on a great nap and sleep routine. I am so proud of the hard work we did with her! There are some nights where she may squeak but otherwise it's okay.
Rowan's personality so far:
Rowan is my sassy sassafras! She loves people and is so insanely happy. She has a sassy personality when she's upset, which makes me worry for when she is 2, LOL! However, this girl can light up a room and makes my heart fill with such joy!
I am so thankful God picked me to the mother of this extraordinary baby girl! I love you forever Rowan!
