This past week marked 6 months for Rowan and it's very hard to believe how quickly he is growing and changing. We'll be celebrating his 1st birthday before we know it. He has his 6 month checkup at the pediatrician Monday so we'll get to see if he has gotten a little bit taller and maybe a little bit less chunky, doubtful though, just look at his legs in the picture below. He just started eating oatmeal this week so once things really get messy we'll post some pictures.
The family travelled to Indiana at the end of May and Rowan was a champ in the car. I think the vibration of the car humming along the highway made him very sleepy because every nap he took was about 2 hours. We spent the night in Omaha with the Mendlik's which split up the trip nicely. Rowan had a lot of time with all the grandparents who loved every minute.
A week from tomorrow, June 24th Rowan will go under anesthesia to have a full MRI of his brain and spine. He needs to sit still during the MRI to facilitate good pictures. He also was never circumcised because of all the activity with his surgery after birth and the urologist wanted to wait until 6 months so he will also undergo that procedure at the same time. Pray for Rowan as he undergoes anesthesia. At 4 weeks old it took him a few days to recover so we are hopeful he handles it better this round. It is an outpatient procedure so we should be sleeping at home next Monday. We will see the Spina Bifida clinic Thursday next week to see the results of the MRI and will update then.
God Bless,
Kyle, Stephanie & Rowan
