Score!

I found the trail style baby pack at our local thrift store on Sunday. It was $9.99 and I had a 30% off coupon. I learned it retails for about $90.00. This makes up for my lousy grocery couponing skills. Rowan loves the upgrade where he's not so squished against me and can look forward in his thrown....So much fresh air on the Mommy-burro leads to good sleeping!

He was drenched after this, and I was soaked from carrying him into the house. The way he loves water, maybe he's swim team bound.

"Nursery" update

Rowan's newly painted thrift store dresser.

Gentle Bigfoot theme

Trying to update his room a bit...removing flimsy shelving that he'd pull over onto himself, moved out changing table. Hmmm, we have a lot of pattern going in this room!

Checking out the chives..eating a little dirt.

Dirty, raggedy baby boy toes.

Muddy knees...and probably ate a little more dirt...

Splashing in the water pail

Bugged Kitty a little too much today!! No blood.

But he's fine...didn't even get upset at the slashing, he knew he had it coming and Wally is really restraining himself as they antagonize each other. Hoping Wally will continue to do blood-less slaps....

Over 70 degrees today

So cute in the baseball romper.

Hello tulip

Hello daffodils

Hello leaf

Someone is so excitable over baths that they try to get in on Mom's or Dad's....

Poked his head in on Dad and got soaked from the neck up. Nosey Noodle.

One night of naked mischief..

"I can get 3 more inches if I stand on this unstable toy!"

"I'll just check the mail slot for you.."

"Gotta get back in this corner."

Done with the routine, time for bed!
