Finally!

After 9 1/2 months Rowan fell asleep in the crib for the first time! You can tell by all of our crib debris that we'd given up on the idea of using it for sleeping and use it for baby containment as needed.  It was an afternoon nap when we usually have him wind down in the crib and then transfer him to his floor mat because of the intense protests after 15 minutes, but not today.

In other news, we're dabbling with a little pre-potty training. We are just getting him familiar with his little throne and setting him on it before a fresh diaper gets put on with no expectations. Though he has had a handful of successes while one of us reads stories for him on it. The potty is very clean in these pictures (no worries) but it gives a good indication of the cyclone that is Rowan. 5 minutes and he can turn a whole room upside down. Interesting tidbit: Of the last remaining adult books he can reach... and that we have to move to avoid destruction, he keeps pulling out the history of John James Audubon over and over.
