General Update

Okay, I'm sorry I haven't been as dilligent as I'd hoped in keeping everything updated, so bear with me as we all get our feet under us here in the Tityk household. So far the transition has gone pretty well and things are running pretty smoothly around here, but the long days are the catch for us as Andrian and I find ourselves stumbling to bed at alarmingly early hours! Me, due to getting up extra early to get a workout in the day, working, and coming home to spend time with Rowan, finally sitting down at 7:30 each night. Andrian, well, simply because he's dealing with a morning girl who likes to be up round about 6am....and he is not a morning guy! But to his credit, he is managing pretty well and most days is even in good spirits with her. My getting back into the swing of things at work has gone pretty well, and getting a paycheck this month will be even better. Will be starting some of the travel schedule in the next couple of weeks though, so we'll see how I'm coping when that piece comes. Andrian is enjoying his time off and this quality time he is getting with Rowan. His paperwork for his job application is all complete now, so it's a matter of waiting for things to unfold. We don't expect to hear more about it until later in March sometime, so in the meantime, he will just enjoy the break from mandatory employment. Now that he's off shift work for a bit, he's taking some martial arts classes and resumed his soccer, so having fun with a regular schedule again. As for Rowan, well she had her 1 year check up last week and is doing just fine. She's up to 21 1/2 lbs and 27 1/2 inches. She working on her cruising and walking skills, and while she still doesn't want to crawl, she's got a turn and reach move down pat to get her desired toys. She talks to us constantly, and when motivated on a good day will give the odd "mama" or copy me and say "tato". I'm sure she has other words for which she definately has a meaning, we just haven't figured out what "aaaeeeee" means yet! All in all, everything is well in Titykland!
