"Juh-why twenty-fird" is almost upon us! Fiona will turn four in just two days. On Tuesday after camp, we will celebrate with some of Fiona's friends at a princess-themed party chez McCabe. We'll decorate foam crowns and pin the horn on the unicorn. We'll eat pizza, cake, and ice cream. And on Sunday, we'll celebrate once more with the grown-up set (family, family friends). While last week was oppressively hot and humid, looks like the weather will drop into the 80s for Fiona's special week. Birthday win!

Rowan is 11 months old. Now that he is crawling, he is into everything. Not since Fiona was a baby has the house been examined so thoroughly -- actually, I don't remember Fiona being this adventurous (though there are a lot of things I don't remember). Rowan loves cords, cables, outlets, door stops (best toy ever, boiiiinnng!), cat food (Otis now eats on top of the hoosier cabinet), Fiona's toys (which are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN), Otis's toys, rocks (I've had to dig a few out of his mouth lately), and balls. And of course there are the things that could fall on him: the coatrack, the fireplace grate. And there are the stairs to consider, the hot oven, the toilet brush, the ajar dishwasher door. I can't even open the refrigerator door without him trying to yank things off the first shelf.
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. The last few days when I've gone to get Rowan in his crib, he's been sitting up, waiting for me -- no small feat when you're wearing a sleep sack. He's been moving from a prostrate position up to seated outside his crib, too, now for I don't know how long. I just kind of realized that this was happening. He makes it look so easy.
In addition to rolling, he's recently been army crawling i.e., pulling himself around on his arms while his legs remain extended behind him. And THEN, he started full-on crawling yesterday. He's not at all exclusively crawling; it's more like it's yet another mode of mobility that he tries out in between rolling and army crawling. But he's getting the hang of it and it's really charming to watch. View VIDEO here. So we can check "crawling" off of the milestone list. Hooray! |
