January 1 - January 5, 2012

For Christmas Mike gave me a Project Life Digital Photobook, so that we can have every day of 2012 documented. So we've decided that after each week, we will post what I've uploaded to the photo book, so we've got it documented in both places, and it will keep our blog actually up to date! Since I can only post 5 pictures per blog post, I will put everything for days 6 and 7 on a separate post. So here we go!



Mommy and Rowan spent New Year's at the hospital, while Daddy was at home cleaning. Rowan played with the stuffed animal he got from the nurses, and held hands with his new friend (without any help from Mommy!)



Rowan's first real feeding! He was only allowed to eat 3 ml of a formula called EleCare, which is "pre-digested". Mommy was worried he wasn't swallowing, so she tried to take the bottle away to check, but Rowan grabbed it and pulled it back to his mouth! He was so excited to finally eat, even if they didn't use Mommy's milk yet.



Sometimes Rowan pulls his blanket up onto his head. For some reason this seems to comfort him.



This is our room in the hospital, room 555.



I was trying to get a picture of Rowan sitting up on his own, but then he started making his poopy face, so I got that instead.
