Happy 22 months Rowan!

22 months is well underway! What a month we had! We had some interesting firsts, like hand, foot and mouth, locking ourselves in the bathroom and our first real haircut. Rowan, as usual, keeps us at attention! She is a spitfire but such a joy at the same time!

Age: 22 months, (20.5 months adjusted age). We are almost to the end of adjusting her age! For preemies it stops when they are 2!

Weight and clothing size: 
Rowan is now officially 31 pounds and so solid! She's super heavy and my body is constantly sore!  Wearing all 3T clothing, even 4t depending on the brand. Size 5 diapers, shoe size is inching towards 5.5

Eating:
Mealtime is something I have been dreading at times. She can be so picky! It was becoming such a battle and I know her stubborn sass comes from her sensing my frustration! I have really learned lately to rein it in and be creative! My girl baby still really loves her carbs (who doesn't, tbh?), string cheese and peas to name some. Since I feel she is lacking iron I found a pinterest link that shows you the top vegan foods that provide a great punch of iron and protein. And no, we aren't going vegan lol! She absolutely loves gobbling white beans ( a great iron source) amongst other types of beans. She also likes dried fruit as well as fresh fruit. I am thinking of doing a blog post of some healthy recipes that has worked for us! 

Rowan can:

-locking doors. UGH.

-in addition to her previous words, she now says bus, peekaboo, mickey, daddy, "plis" (aka please), goodnight moon (sounds like "muhmight moo").  She also says "mumbo" for Dumbo. She easily is repeating much of what we are saying, which is awesome but kinda scary!

-Says "whoa" and "woooo" when she is swinging or on a ride, LOL!

-if the stove is on or she sees a steaming bowl of soup or coffee, she says "haaa, haaa" while tapping her mouth

-If you ask her what a dog, pig, sheep, horse, and cow says, she can say their sound.

-learning how to lower herself from our bed. I am nervous about when she will do this with her crib, lol!

-loves to climb up slides (YIKES) among other dare-devily things. Oh boy....

-tries to jump though its more like a hop, LOL




Rowan loves:

- The dumbo ride, all the carousel rides and the spinning teacups at Disneyland
-has discovered she has a LOVE for raisins.
-She has a major obsession with the ball pit at My Gym.
-We bought her a Mickey plush (thanks buy one, get one for $1)  and she screams joyfully at them in the mornings when she gets up.


Rowan doesn't like
-This hysterically cute, Frozen short on Disney Junior. It straight up terrifies her! I'm not totally sure why, but here is the scary show if you want to be "scared" LOLOLOL

-Since we are talking about being scared, she doesn't exactly love the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland. She actually wimpered through a few parts of the ride, which made me sad 

-sharing. OH LAWD! This girl can be bratty about sharing with others, and she makes it known. This bothers me tremendously, so we have been working hard for her to be a "nicer friend" about sharing. 

-gets stressed out if she pulls off her "pretties". Rowan has a tendency to pull off her headbands and wraps, which DRIVES ME FREAKING CRAZY. However, it somehow bothers her too because tries to put them back on and when she can't she gets flustered and frustrated LOL!

 Sleeping schedule:
Sleep is still the same. Sleeps usually from 7:30-6:30 on school days, when we are home or on the weekends usually to 7:30 or 8! Takes a midday nap from 11-1:30/2. Forever thankful I get decent amounts of sleep! 


 New happenings this month:

-Rowan had her first real haircut! I was super sad to get it cut, but knew it was time! It was so scraggly and she had such crazy length! She got a cute bob, aka Lady Mary Crawley style from Downton Abbey!

-Rowan got hand, foot, and mouth disease, UGH. Catch up here:

- Rowan locked herself in the bathroom. I feel this deserves a post for memory's sake, LOL! It was super scary and traumatic, mainly for me. She recovered fine, LOLOLOLOL!

-We did a super fast, Disneyland trip during Valentine's weekend! It was a quick trip but OH SO FUN!!! Yes, I am working on a post! One of the best things? Breakfast with Minnie, which is worthy of its very own post! Since we have been to Disneyland 4 times now, I feel it gets easier each time with Rowan! We are planning a week long trip to DL  in March during Easter break!



Obligatory Rowan dump:
