Settling in

Well, here is a picture of Rowan sitting in a chair with my cousin Mary Beth. He really likes her a lot. She plays with him and talks to him. He thought the best thing about that chair was that he could lean all the way back and touch his head to the floor.
He has been having a lot of fun most of the time. He loves to meet new people and there are always different people around here.
Here he is helping Opa cut the grass. Oma thought they were a perfect match in their bib overalls. Maybe we should get some overalls for Opa with Winnie the Pooh on them to match Rowan's? That would be a sight to see, wouldn't it? Anyway, Rowan liked the ride on the mower. I remember riding the mower at my aunt's farm when I was little, too. One of my best growing up memories.
Here Rowan is with Mojo. Mojo lets Rowan pull on him and climb all over him. And they share toys and kisses too! Rowan also signed his first word the other day. Of course his first word would be "dog". He's done it many times since, so it's not just a fluke. Imagine, not quite ten months old and already signing! I can't wait until he signs more words. I've been working hard, getting used to working day shift. Uggghhh! I don't really like the getting up at 5:30 am to get to work. Although, for some reason getting up at 5:30 pm would be no problem. Go figure. :) Oma and Opa are having a great time with Rowan. We are getting close to teaching him that he's not supposed to eat the dog food, but he thinks it's great to spread the kibbles all over the floor and spill water everywhere, too.
