Today is the end of an era for Rowan. He had the last of mommy milk. Mama T stopped nursing him a couple of weeks ago, which is major in its own right, but we still had plenty a milk stored in the freezer. Since Rowan stopped drinking from a bottle long ago we have been using the stored milk in the mornings to make his cereal. Today I used the last of the mommy milk to make his cereal ending a nearly 14 month daily routine of having mommy milk from either the tap or packaged.
It took a year but I did it. Well, almost. When Rowan was born I set out to take at least 1 picture of him each and every day. Unfortunately I didn’t see him every day so with the help of my wife, we attempted this crazy goal.
Believe it or not, we only missed 3 days. Well technically we missed 4 days but a friend took a picture of Rowan on one of those days. This means from the night he was born through his first birthday there were only 3 days that the little guy didn’t get his picture take.
So here it is. My daily favorites from Rowan’s first year, March 29, 2008 through March 29, 2009. And for those wondering, yes, I continue to take daily pictures though I doubt I will have a picture a day for year 2.
I am a little late in writing this but not too late to wish Rowan a happy 1st birthday! We had a birthday party here in our little house in Salem. It was wonderful to have so many friends and family to help us celebrate the occasion.
Wow, I am the mother of a one year old! I am pretty sure that he is the cutest one year old there ever was :) This past year was an amazing one. Seeing him reach the major milestones such as rolling over, crawling and walking were great. But it was the small things too that had me looking forward to each and every day with Rowan. Watching him “talk” to Mr. Penguin, discovering how much he liked to eat, teaching him how to wave “bye bye,” watching him dance, and listening to him babble sound after sound are just a few of the activities that had me enternained all year long. I loved the first year but I have to admit, I can’t wait to see what comes next!
We have been writing less and less lately. Rowan is still doing new things everyday though. He has started walking, grown two teeth, and pretty much gotten into everything he can get his hands on. He is getting so old…almost 11 months. I can’t believe that in just under 5 weeks from now he will be a year old! Kirby put a few pictures on the gallery the other day so check them out!
You can’t leave this guy alone for more than a minute. If you do he will likely go in search of something he knows he is not supposed to have. On this particular day he found a chocolate bar, unwrapped it, and had a little snack.
