RICE CEREAL!!! YUMMMMM!!!

Not sure about this Momma!


YUMMM!! ok, MORE PLEASE!!! :)


Well after a few nights of little sleep I have decided perhaps Rogan is ready for Rice cereal! Experts say when babies watch you eat and start waking up more in the night they are ready to start cereal, so I thought I would give it a test run to see if it makes any difference! Rogan absolutely LOVED it. It took a few runny bites for him to get the hang of it, but eventually he was crying because Momma couldn't get it in his mouth fast enough! I made it VERY runny for to start, but he still seemed to be a HUGE fan of it.


Also, I left him with Daddy for just a few minutes and this is the result....such a tragedy!

Daddy calls him "Raider Roe"

I can't believe our baby is already 3 months old! Where has the time gone?!? We have been trying to use the Bumbo to help Rogan get stronger in his neck and learn to sit a little. We have also started successfully started using the exersaucer for SHORT periods of time. Rogan used to scream bloody murder ever time we tried these before, but it seems we have begun a breakthrough this week! We also have moved Rogan to the crib! He was sleeping in our room, then in his room, but in his pack n play and now finally his crib. I hear EVERYTHING through our amazing monitors so I am not sleeping well at all, but Rogan is doing OK. He goes to bed great, but when he wakes up it is apparent he doesn't know where he is and is pretty scared. This too shall pass :) (hopefully sooner than later, momma and Rogan need so zzz's!)

We were so lucky to get to spend lots of time with family lately! Karen, Nick and the kids spent a few days at our house and Kierra got to "hold" Rogan, She said he was kind of wiggly! Gotta love it! Got lots of new pictures to share! Enjoy!

*Congrats to Jen & Jeff! After a long labor Riley Jane Vollmer was born this morning at 6:15 am. I can't wait to get to Omaha and snuggle her!!! She is absolutely beautiful!

Easter and stuff...

"Fink Family"

Rogan & Storm "cuddling" (only had my phone camera and I couldn't move becasue Rogan was on me...so not the greatest quality, but so CUTE!)

Great big smile! (bad coloring-took it with my phone!)

Ok, so I have been HORRIBLE about updating. I feel like we have hardly anytime to spend as a family since I returned to work, so the moments we are together I cherish as much as possible and stay as far away from the computer as I can :) Since the last post we have taken family pictures with the Fink family! So much fun!! Elijah, our godson has his first birthday at Chuck-E-Cheese, and Gabe and I both completed a 5K. Our weekends have been jam packed! Rogan is doing great and growing like a weed! He is already in his 3-6 months clothes and some of those are looking a little short. He is just so long! I weighed him the other day and the scale had him over 14lbs and over 25 inches long! BIG BOY! We have been so blessed that he has started sleeping through the night! (YEAH!) Until we threw his schedule completely off this weekend. Last night was rough for both Rogan and Momma! He is still sleeping in our room in the bassinet, so that makes getting up much easier. Depending on how the week goes I am hoping to start him sleeping in his room by this coming weekend. It is going to be much harder on me than him I have a feeling :) I will upload some new fun pictures when I get home tonight. Rogan is stating to really interact with us and play! HE loves music, especially country. We try to dance every night
before bedtime! The cat (Stormy) and Rogan have also started to bond a little! I was feeding Roe one night and he feel asleep. Storm decided Rogan's head looked like a pretty good pillow so he went ahead and layed his head right next to his! It was absolutely adorable!

Rogan's first Easter was great! It seems Rogan has Mommies allergies. Durign church when they use the incense we were both sneezing away, so we spent the remainder of church in the cry room, but overall Rogan did great! We celebrated all weekend, on Saturday we celebrated at Great-Grandma & grandpa Kielty's in Norflk and Sunday we celebrated in Crete at G-ma & G-pa Finks. We had an Easter egg hunt, but Rogan decided to sleep right through it! Aunt Emma bought him some bunny ears and he actually wore them without getting crabby for quite a while! Daddy is not happy about them, because they aren't manly, but I thought it was just too adorable not to post!
