Christmas time is upon us!!!!!

Well the holidays are here and Jeremiah and the rest of the family have all been busy getting ready. We decorated the tree (quite an interesting feat with Jeremiah's help - he wanted all the ornaments below 4 feet. So far he has been pretty good about not pulling things off but he checks everyday to make sure the tree is still there.

We visited the mall this past weekend and told Santa Claus what we wanted. Can you guess what it might have been???? When Santa asked him what he wanted he said "Chocolate cake and a Diego book!!!!". If we had only known we could have saved ourselves a lot of shopping!!!!!

The last two days haven't been very pretty here - overcast, foggy and cool so we took the opportunity today to make Gingerbread House (compliments of a kit from Walmart). He did pretty good - only wanted to eat the Christmas tree that came with it but finally decided the house needed a Christmas tree and abstained (I was proud of him!). Hope everyone out there has a safe, happy and healthy holiday - photos of Christmas party with Great-Grandmother will be the next thing we post!!!

Is it just me or is he too handsome for words???!!!!!

Yes he's ours and we're prejudiced - but can you blame us???!!!!!

More photos

Sorry folks but I had to make a second entry for the birthday photos.....as you can see from the first picture Paw-Paw is Jeremiah's buddy!!!

Halloween and Birthdays!

Jeremiah was sick at Halloween time this year with a sinus infection and ear infection so we elected not to go out trick or treating because of the weather and since we are "in the country" and not in a subdivision we don't get trick or treaters so we went to the church activity Fall Festival (where my camera died). I have a couple of pictures of him in costume (he absolutely loves Diego and now calls himself Diego Jeremiah).

My Dad celebrated his birthday on November 5 and our friend Betty B joined Jeremiah and myself and Jeremiah's Granny in celebrating at the Olive Garden. I am adding some pictures of Jeremiah "helping" with the cards and cake. Happy Birthday Dad/Paw-Paw!!!! We hope you have many more for us to celebrate!!!!

School pictures

We have been waiting for the proofs and have had trouble getting them delivered to our email, these were made in June but they are the latest professional pictures we have of Jeremiah.

The last one over to the right is my favorite but the photographer said there wasn't a bad one as far as he was concerned because Jeremiah was smiling in all of them. Don't you just want to squeeze those little cheeks???!!!!

Hot fun in the summertime

We have been enjoying the summer months together and we are seeing more and more of Jeremiah's personality as the days go by. He loves to laugh and be tickled and will come to you and say "Tickle Monster" which means that the tickle monster is supposed to come out and get him. He is tickleish all over and I love his laugh. Its a combination of shrieks and huh huh huh's that is too cute for words!

He weighs 37 pounds and is about 39 inches tall and seems to have 2 hollow legs. We are thinking of buying stock in one of the grocery store chains. He eats pretty much everything but bananas which he just doesn't like.

He loves to spend time with my Mom and Dad and will ask to go to Maw-Maw and Paw-Paws. He spends every Friday afternoon with them and I don't know who has more fun.

He is getting along well at Mom's morning out and even seems to have a girlfriend there. When I took him in this morning a little blonde curly top came running over screaming MiaMiah MiaMiah and do you he turned into such a guy right in front of me?! He looked at her and rolled his eyes and said very quietly "hey" picked up a toy and walked off. Talk about playing hard to get....

I am posting some miscellaneous photos and I am still looking for the adapter so we can load some video. He has one where he is "Shaking his Booty" that is pretty darn cute!!!!

Summertime

Well Jeremiah is enjoying the summertime life. He is swimming in the pool, playing in the backyard and just living large as the saying goes. He seems like he grows overnight literally and he is talking more and more. We hear lots of interesting things these days. He changed Mom's Morning Out locales recently and our little man is struggling with making the change but he seems to be acclimating and enjoying it. We went to Old Navy today and had a little bit of a shopping spree I am posting pictures of his new hat.

P.S. I have also attached photos of Jeremiah wearing my old Crocs (note that he put them on the wrong feet). He loves to put his Dad's shoes and my shoes on and clomp around the house in them. He is wearing a size 9 shoe now so he has a while to go before catching up with either one of us.....
