Today was a good day - the zoo in the morning, and Bria in the afternoon.

Rowan's 9 month appointment was today. He weighs 18 pounds 10 ounces. Conor was 18 pounds 4 ounces at his 9 month appointment, so I guess we know who he's built like at least.

This is how the mantle in the toyroom is currently decorated. All I have to say is, I only know one person who works for Nationwide. And I will remember that she encouraged this obsession.

When no one else is around to play, Conor will ask if Rowan would like to come down and watch him play ball. Rowan is always happy to do so, sometimes for up to 20 minutes. Conor says this is because Rowan is a football fan. I think it's because he's a Conor fan.

This is the view at our deck steps- lilacs on one side, and a beauty bush on the other. They've both exploded and will need to be trimmed after the flowers are gone, so it makes going up the steps feel like you are in a jungle (or a princess in a parade). They smell amazing though. And as our neighbor pointed out (the one who thinks it's funny that my kids go barefoot a lot) "We can't tell if you're on your deck anymore." Oh darn.

Ellie got a phone call from her best friend. She's heading over their for a playdate next week, but apparently they needed to catch up before then. The side of the conversation that I could hear went something like this: "Um, playing outside mostly. Yeah, the playground in my backyard. Oh, yum. But we don't have a camper! Oh. Well, tonight I have a new gymnastics class. Way fun. Okay. Bye"

Rowan took a good nap on Sunday afternoon, so Conor and Ellie were able to swim their way before the baby joined them in the pool.
