So we're all pretty busy: Rowan exploring the world, and Mama making sure he doesn't choke, fall, or get knocked on the head.
Rowan's other favorite activities: Chasing Otis (the new unrequited love of his life). Giving zerbits (he was doing this to my kneecap the other day -- it is the most tickly thing EVER). Eating pizza (LOVES pizza).
At 11 months, Rowan's eyes remain a hazelly mystery. His hair is ash blond. His skin is ash blond, too -- seriously, he's like the blond Ken, whose hair was the same color as his skin. It's remarkable to see how fair and light Fiona is compared to olive-tone Rowan. We hope Rowan takes after Nana Pierce and is blessed with a beautiful Italian complexion. He has a wave in his hair, too, like Nana. Maybe we should have named him Rowan Edna (though neighbor Julia thinks Rowan looks a lot like Granddad, so we'll stick with Rowan Frederick).
