Milestones for Mommy and Rowen

We have had some big news around here this week. I found out that my grant has been recommended for funding. This is a 5 year Career Development Grant that would be funded by the NIH. This is what I have been working towards since I came to UVA in 2006. This will provide me with salary support and research funding for the next 5 years. Great news!!

Rowen has also been making progress in his milestones. He is now able to hold his bottle by himself. However, he does not yet get the concept of the tilt. He has also begun to reliably roll over. We have captured it on video. Friday night we spent more than 30 minutes tyring to get Rowen to bed. He kept rolling over and getting stuck on his stomach. This was frustrating to him and he would cry out. We would turn him back over and then he would roll again get stuck and call out for help. We would go up and roll him back to his stomach. Five minutes later we whould hear..."Help, I am on my belly and do not like it." Over and over he went...figuratively and literally.

Check out the recent pictures and video!

Love to everyone- Myla, Bryan and Rowen
