Rogan was soooo excited about his pillow pet...just kept burrowing his head in it!

Rogan also LOVED his doctor set!

Party Time-Rogan's 1st Christmas

Hello All! Again...long time since our last post! We have, like everyone, been busy with the Holidays, Snow and oh yeah...the Flu! ugh! Rogan has been all about giving kisses lately....which in turn means..more germs and this time meant the flu for him and momma! We were able to make all of our Christmas obligations despite the second big snow storm in Nebraska in December. We did get stuck at Gabe's parents for a bit and we somehow forgot the diapers at my parents house...due to a few newborn diapers, duct tape and a little ingenuity on my part we were able to get through...see pics! Gabe's brother Adam proposed to his girlfriend Jess!!! YEAH!!! So excited to have a new member of the family!! Gabe's brother Matt brought his girlfriend Laura home and us girls just had a blast together! Rogan's 1st Birthday is soon approaching. It seems so impossible that my baby is almost 1 already! Where has time gone?!? Here are a few of our Holiday pics. The one of Rogan with his New Years hat was taken at 12:56 am..he decided at about 10:30pm that he was not going to miss his 1st New Years party...so he joined right in! Enjoy the pics!

Meeting Santa...

Ready for Takeoff!

Merry Christmas!

His first Santa experience...all smiles!!!

We took Rogan to meet Santa today! We saw him first at the bank, then somehow when we got to the grocery store...he was already there with his reindeer! He sure is fast! We couldn't pass up the opportunity to take pictures of Rogan again with real, live reindeer. The pictures are priceless. He absolutely LOVED the reindeer and didn't make a peep about Santa, I was shocked! Here is a sample of the pics!

Lots of Firsts...

My 1st Steelers Game!

Supporting Mommy's team!

Best Buds!

Rogan has had lots of firsts in the past month! He has taken his first step..which I believe was a complete accident, started standing by himself...also and accident I believe :) He traveled to KC for the first time to play with his cousins, and had his first real bad fever. Rogan was completely under the weather for 9 days. We had to go to the doctor 3 times and after he lost 2 pounds the dr was ready to put him on IV's, thankfully we were able to get a few ounces in him and he had a real turning point so we were able to avoid the hospital and IV's! We have been busy as ever as the holidays always are. Rogan is in copycat mode lately and has become a COMPLETE momma's boy! I am his personl jungle gym, but I know it won't last for long so I am trying to enjoy it. We are just having so much fun enjoying watching Rogan learn and grow everyday. Him and our cat Stormy seem to be the best of friends these days too. They just chase each other around. Soo sweet! I experience my first Steelers game, which was absolutely amazing! Our seats were 7 rows up, but I made friends in the first row and saw the players up close and personal...I was like a kid on Christmas..so exciting! Also I dislocated my shoulder again at the game...after seeing the surgeon it looks like I am facing complete reconstructive surgery after the 1st of the year...oh well :) Hope this finds everyone having a great, happy & SAFE holiday season!

Our little monkey!

Trick or Treat!

Playing in the leaves

Rogan was a Monkey for Halloween! We went trick or treating with my nephew Elijah. We all got together at my sisters house for food and fun. It was a great time! We also tried to play in the leaves today...Rogan was NOT a big fan of it, but I think he was mostly just hungry and tired...might have to have round two sometime soon! We have a family tradition of carving pumpkins and baking seeds. This year was so fun because Rogan helped. He LOVED the guts...he pretty much wanted to eat them all! We also had Rogan's 9 month well check this week. He is 29 1/2" long (90%) 21lbs 3oz (60%) and his head is 18 1/8" (75%) He is doing really well. We need to work on him pulling himself up and walking along the furniture a little, but he is very laid back so he kind of just sits back and takes it all in. Otherwise he is doing great! I just can't believe how fast he is growing up!

Me & Rogan before church

Rogan is all over the place! He is one quick little crawler and the poor cat is his favorite toy! Here are a few pics from the past few weeks! He has spent lots of time with both sides of grandparents too. So much fun! He is learning and changing so much everyday! Rogan is LOVING his sippy cups he discovered straws and will refuse the bottle a lot of te time. He would much prefer his sippy if it is up to him! So Silly...this makes nursing EXTRA challengine! HA! He is developing quite the personality and wants things HIS way or the highway....I wonder where he gets that???

He's on the move!

Again, sorry for the lag in my updates, work and Rogan have been keeping me pretty busy, but I am loving it! We have a little inch worm on our hands. He is finally crawling!! It was so exciting for both me and him! He was playing with the top to his bottle and lost it...I turned my back for just a second, looked back and there he was, going across the room to his bottle cap like an old pro! I have a few videos on my phone I will try to upload, but he knew I was watching so none of them turned out to well! He must have been pretty jazzed about it, because he wouldn't go to sleep last night for anything. He was up until 10:30. (He is usually out by 7 or so!) Pictures and videos to follow soon!

Oh How time flies....and BIG Announcement

Rogan loves to wrestle with his big frog!

Bath time!!

too cute!

Standing Like A Big Boy!

Rogan's 1st Roe-hawk :)

The man loves his basket!

Rogan's 1st Husker Game!

Sorry!!! I have been horrible about keeping up with the blog since we left for Vegas, then I started the new job. It has been quite an eventful and exciting 6 weeks! We went to Vegas and had an amazing time! Then we got back and I started my new job with Nebraska Bolt the day after we returned! We have just been enjoying football season ever since! We have been to a Nebraska Game and a Raiders/Chiefs game. Rogan is growing up soooo fast! He is still not crawling, but I am betting on any day. For now I am enjoying my last few moments on immobility! He is getting GREAT at pulling himself up on me and standing while holding on to things. I have a sneaky suspicion that the transition from crawling to walking is going to be a SHORT one! My sister and her husband Seth are moving in to a new house this week, as are Gabe's brother and his girlfriend Jessica! Busy, Busy. Meanwhile, we are tearing out our old carpet to make room for some fresh Rogan stains on new carpet :) The big announcement in case you haven't already heard is that My sister Emily & Seth are expecting a new baby!!!!! He/she (I am betting on SHE) is due April 14th! That is all the news I have for now. Enjoy the pics! I will try to do a better job of updating so Rogan isn't like graduating from college the next time I post pics! LOL. Enjoy!
