Litwillers' visit

Fall in our new home

Rowan at 2 weeks

My post pregnancy recovery has been harder this time, and the entire family has been battling a terrible virus (Mina has been vomiting constantly, Dan has had a fever for 5 days (!), and I had to go to the ER) but Rowan is actually doing great.  He is now two weeks old and has been an amazingly chill baby so far.  He sleeps well, burps pretty independently, and has been eating like a champ...in fact he is now up to 7 lb 3 oz. 

Lunch at Thyme

Mina has been totally awesome about inviting this new human into our household.  We suspect that it's because she has claimed him as her own, which makes it okay ("MY baby brudder").  Plus, she likes the puzzle Rowan got for her.  She is even happy to give him kisses and pats him when he's blue ("don't cry Wowan!"). 

Thankfully Ajoba has also been here to keep Mina entertained.  He even took her to see the trains.

Kanjika

Celebrated Kanjika, which is a Hindu festival that honors girls (yeah!). Fathers will wash their little girls' feet as a sign of love and protection. 

Rowan Khare Litwiller

Rowan arrived right on time.  He came in at 7 lb 1 oz and 19.5 inches long and  looks just like his dad and sister, but has a beautiful shock of black hair (no wonder I felt so nauseated in my pregnancy).
