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 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.

Rowan at 9-1/2 months is changing at a rapid clip. Who is this big boy? Otis wants to know, too.
Months ago, Rowan went through a brief phase where he would say "Haaaaah" and sort of wave his arm in the air. It was usually a greeting in the morning from his crib, so it seems to safe to say that "Hi" was his first word. Coming in at number 2, there's "Ffffff." This does not mean "Fiona." Like every other infant, Rowan loves ceiling fans. There's one in his room that he gazes at a lot. On Thursday, I picked him up from his crib and he threw his head back to look at the fan, which was on high speed (we went from cold and rainy to hot and humid. Just can't win). I pointed and said, "Fan. Can you say fan?" Lo and behold, he said, "Ffffff." I said, "Yes! Fan!" So he said it again and giggled. Now whenever we go into his room he looks up and says, "Fffff." Bittersweet, and I hesitate to say it's a real word, but let's just say the syllable "ma" is coming out, on repeat. Rowan only ever says it when he's in distress. But he's gotten to the point where he consistently says it in distress. "Mamamamamamama," he'll cry. Argh. Like I said, bittersweet. |
