A New Thing

Rowan was so wound up this morning that he skipped his first morning nap. Thanks to a very persistent mommy and some serious snuggling, he did sleep for over 2 hours just before lunch. When I went to get him out of bed there he was, my big boy, SITTING UP in his crib. I couldn't believe my eyes. I bet when I go in tomorrow he'll be standing there all by himself.

Speaking of going in to get Rowan--the other night I fed Rowan at about 2am, changed him and was about to sit down and continue feeding him when I turned to look at the door. There in the dark was this alien like figure that caused me to let out a horrific sound and cling to Rowan a little harder than I should have. My body quivered (more like jolted) but I didn't drop the baby even though I was terrified. The poor alien (who was john in his boxers of course) jumped sideways as he yelled: "ohhhh..." and then began to apologize as his wife and child began to cry. Once I sat down and got over the initial fright I started to laugh uncontrollably. Poor Rowan was trying to eat but every few minutes I would burst out laughing again and he'd cry some more. I don't think John will be coming to visit us in the middle of the night even if Rowan is calling him as he was the other night.
