At the beginning of the month, her daycare had a 'Fall Festival' with a petting zoo and choo-choo trains and a picnic. Rowyn stuck her hand out for a goat, and the goat nibbled on her fingers and she didn't like that very much. Baptist Women's Hospital where Ro was born hosted a "NICU Graduates" party, where they celebrated all of the preemies born this year and in years past. They also had a petting zoo with a llama and more goats! There was also a scale where they weighed Rowyn and she's now over 18lbs! Big jump from her birthweight of 3lbs, 14 oz! We're still so thankful for all of those caring nurses and staff.
Rowyn is now crawling everywhere and getting into lots of things - good and bad. She does well at entertaining herself with her toys and books. And still loves "petting" our cat and dog, which is more of a grabbing and pulling motion than anything...we're constantly on the lookout for new things she finds on the floors - she recently discovered our roomba vacuum cleaner and started pressing all of the buttons on it - we'll see if it still works after she's re-programmed it I'm sure. Rowyn is also pulling herself up on the couch, on her crib and on our baby gate. She's getting those little legs ready for walking!
We also got a visit from Granna this past weekend. She came in town to spend some time with Rowyn and to also attend our Annual Kirkin Festival at church - lots o bagpipes!
When we're not out and about on the town, we're hanging at home or taking her to dinners and enjoying her so much. She's starting to eat some "grown-up" food, including sausage, crakers, soft serve ice cream, and yogurt. She's also starting to feed herself, which is a hot mess.
This week is her first Halloween and trick-or-treat expereince. We're not going far...just down the block. Stay tuned for those pictures...
