Movie Monday: Week Thirty

It's been just a little over a month since I have posted any videos of Roweyn and am finally back to it! I skipped a bunch that I have on my computer because they just wouldn't be that exciting for anyone except maybe family. haha 


So here is just a very quick one from the beginning of April when we were having a nice break in bad weather. Roweyn is 15 months here and we went to the park where she swung on the big swing with me for the first time.

Roweyn's Ramblings Wk.12

Sorry I'm late on posting this...I haven't spent much time on my computer the past few days. I will write this as if it was still posted Sunday night so that next weeks Roweyn's Ramblings will still be a full week.


This past week we didn't go out much but instead we stayed in and did some much needed spring cleaning. 


I worked on Monday, then ran over to the dentist to get a filling on a tiny cavity that I'm not even sure was necessary. A week later and it's still sensitive, where as before, it didn't hurt at all. :( Roweyn was carrying around a little hair clip she got for her birthday but hasn't even worn it once because she hasn't had enough hair, so I decided to see if I could clip it in the little hair that has been growing on top of her head lately and it worked! It looked really funny but I was just so excited that I was able to clip it in and it stayed. ha Be sure to check the photo below!


We woke up Tuesday morning and the first thing Roweyn does when she climbs out of bed is grab a tissue and shows me how to blow her nose. It was so cute! And she made the cutest face too! Of course I got a photo of it. :) We spent the day at home cleaning and organizing. I went through all of Roweyn's clothes, took out anything that didn't fit her, washed any new clothes and went through some hand-me-downs. I think I did at least 10 loads of laundry and they were all her clothes...only because a lot were new (from Easter) so I was washing a ton of clothes separately. Roweyn was so good with helping me and playing contently with a few breaks in between.


Wednesday Roweyn turned 16 months!! I can't believe in 2 months she will be 1.5. It's crazy to me!


We had planned to get together with friends on Thursday but all of us were quite tired and I still had SO much cleaning and organizing to do still, so again we spent the day doing more spring cleaning.


Friday, Roweyn had her 15mo well check, even though she was already 16 months. I swear the way doctors offices schedule appointments really never makes sense. And apparently not to them either because they were running an hour behind schedule! I ended up not having to work, thank God. No shots for Roweyn since we don't do them. We might do some at some point, but right now she isn't getting any. Here are her Height and Weight Stats...

Sleeping the night of her 16mo birthday

Stats:

16 months old

Weight: 16.5lbs

Height: 30in

Head: 44cm

Her Dr says she's still not quite high enough on her growing curve, it seems to still be straightening out. So she has to be weighed and measured once a month till her 18 month check at the beginning of August. Then I have to let him know what her stats were every month. He still doesn't seem worried, he knows that Roweyn comes from a small Mama, but just wants to keep an eye on her....as far as I know.

Roweyn spent most of the day on Saturday with my mom at the park for her friends birthday party while I worked. It was a lovely day but apparently super windy during the first part of it. I picked her up from the park on my way home from work and when we got home we let Cyder out and spent another at least 30 minutes outside. She is LOVING the weather! I have a feeling we will be outside non stop this summer, going to the park, river, pool or just in our back yard. She's at the perfect age to really spend time outside and enjoy it and I can't wait to enjoy it with her.

Sunday we spent the day at home, the first part of the day was warm enough for us to spend some time outside in between doing cloth diaper laundry. We played in the grass, with the rocks and inside her playhouse. We hung the diapers out to sun for the first time this year. Afterwards we both took a nap, she woke up and I was still really tired so my Mom took her back outside for a bit while I took another little nap on the couch. For a snack we had some strawberries with sour cream (and then dipped in sugar for me) and Roweyn tried a peep for the first time. She chewed on it a little bit, but had more fun poking holes in it and playing with it, so it hardly even got eaten, which I'm very happy about! It was the perfect way to spend our day.

Here is our week in photos

That about sums up our week. Hope you all had a great week last week and a great one this week as well! Mother's day is this weekend! Anyone have any fun plans? We sure do, but will talk about them either later on this week or next week during Roweyn's Ramblings.

Easter 2011

We had a nice low key Easter and it was pretty much perfect, besides the rain of course. Saturday I worked so I was unable to take Roweyn anywhere that was having an Easter Event but I was determined on Sunday to go to our community's annual Easter Egg Hunt right down the street from our house.


We started off with Roweyn opening her Easter basket and she loved seeing all her goodies, taking them out and sharing them with everyone else. I opted not to put any candy in her basket because what almost 16mo old needs candy anyways? I put in a few things from the whole family and some stuff I had been collecting but hadn't given to her yet. She got a couple  books, some new outfits, a couple stuffed animals, a toy blowdryer (so she could be like her Mama and do hair), a pair of sandals and some Agoo leggings that we had gotten for free. :) She is well loved, thats for sure.

I watched the weather outside all morning Sunday as it was gloomy and rainy in hopes that there would be a break by the afternoon. Roweyn and I sang "Rain, Rain Go Away So We Can Hunt for Easter Eggs" over and over while we looked outside. At 12 we started to see a break in the clouds and the sun trying to peek out, so happy about this we decided to get our stuff together and by 12:45 we were out the door heading to the park hoping that at 1 it would still be nice!


Trisha and Kashmir met us there so that they could join in on the fun too! As we waited we got to take a photo with the Easter Bunny! I tried to get Roweyn to sit on his lap without me holding her but there was no chance she was going to allow that! So once again I am in the photo with her!

After we saw the Easter Bunny we waited a few minutes longer until we could do the Egg hunt. They divided the age groups and we were in the 1-3 year olds. There was hardly anyone there, so it was perfect. There were tons of eggs and all the kids had enough and basically had their own little section to grab eggs from. Not once was there another kid around us which I found really surprising! The girls did great, they each grabbed a couple eggs and then just stood there holding them or playing with them. I think Roweyn was half asleep because she hadn't napped yet and she kept spacing out! ha

As soon as we finished and were walking away, it started sprinkling, and by the time we got to the car it was almost pouring! It couldn't have been timed more perfect! 


We headed back to the house and Trisha and Kashmir came over so the girls could spend the rest of the afternoon playing together and of course so we could have some Mama time as well! They surprised Roweyn with an Easter present which Roweyn loved. They are the sweetest friends!

Hope you all had a great Easter as well!

Happy 15 Months Roweyn!

Dear Roweyn,

You're actually going to be 16 Months tomorrow but you have kept me so busy that I haven't gotten a chance to write this! I will try to think back a month ago, but time has just been flying by and you have been growing and changing so much it's hard to keep up!

Every day you are doing something different, always surprising me with something new! You are talking all the time, adding new words to your vocabulary every day.

You were having a rough time with sleeping, changing your routine almost nightly and making Mommy very tired. You wouldn't let me put you down after you fell asleep and you kept waking up so a few times you cried for short periods of time before finally falling asleep.

You are at such a fun age right now, I am loving every minute of it. You keep me busy all day long, whether it be me chasing you around the house, feeding you, cleaning up after you or playing with you, there's never a dull moment!

Everything is exciting and new to you and it's so fun to watch your reactions!

You are such a good little girl and I thank God every day for bringing you into my life. I love you so much and can't wait to see what you'll do next!

Here are my favorite photos of you from 14mo -15mo.

I love you with all my heart.

Love,

Your Mama

Forever&Always
