Spa Day!

I haven't had much time to blog lately - but I did want to tell everyone about Spa Day on March 10th. Back in September, Jason purchased a package deal for April & I to have a Spa Day at Disney's California Adventure. He got one for April's Birthday and one for me - because he knows we had a difficult (and exciting) year.

We each got a one-hour Balinese full body massage, Balinese body polish, and Frangipani Nourishing Hair and Scalp Treatment. They all felt INCREDIBLE!!! It was so nice to relax and enjoy the sounds of calm music and scents of lavender while being pampered. April and I were there for at least a few hours and then we got hungry so we headed home and had lunch with the boys. It was a very fun and much needed day - thanks to my hubby!

Here are a few pics of us at the Spa:

Weekend

Another weekend in the books! Lisa and April had a spa day at California Adventure on Saturday. Jason and Bobby watched Rowen. The rest of the weekend was spent running errands, doing laundry, preparing tax returns, and other "fun" projects. Never enough time to get everything done.

Rowen's 5th tooth just came through the surface.He is eating everything. Pears are his favorite. He also seems to really like Spinach. It was a busy weekend, but we did manage to play for a few minutes -  and of course snap a few photos.

March

Already March. Where does the time go? Rowen is now 8 months old and is doing well. He's growing fast. 21 lbs. He's a very happy baby, but not a great sleeper. Lisa is enjoying being a stay at home mom. He now has FOUR teeth (with more on their way)! Below are a few recent photos.

Recent Bettendorf Happenings

Here's a quick update...Rowen is now almost 21 lbs. and wears size 18 months! Doc says he's still in 90th percentile in height and weight and getting big. He tries to say words every day now...so far he's come up with "num num" when he eats and "ba ba" when he sees his bottle. I've tried to get him to say "dada" or "Daddy" but when he tries to mimic me, it comes out "didi." His little voice is very funny and he laughs and smiles a lot! : )
He actually attempted to say "mama" yesterday, but he mouthed it and no sound came out. I'm sure he'll be saying more words very soon! He also has TWO teeth on the bottom now...and the two top ones are on their way.

Likes and Dislikes: he LOVES to eat (can you tell?), LOVES to play with his blocks and in his jumpee, LOVES when people look at him, likes taking a bath, and dislikes to be on his tummy. Every time he is placed on his tummy, he rolls over to be on his back.

First Bites

Rowen started eating rice cereal several weeks ago and has moved on to squash and carrots. He has been a pretty good eater. Here are a few photos of Rowen in his high chair.

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone is off to a great 2012. Here are a few recent pictures of Rowen. He's been enjoying the warm January weather.
