Go Big Red!

Both Jeremy's Mommy and Grand-Papa Monty are alumni of Cornell- as you can see, JB is already getting recruited for the Ivy-League school, and is showing team spirit to celebrate the Cornell Women's Basketball team winning the Ivy League championship, allowing them to play in the NCAA tournament for the first time ever. They were creamed by UConn, but it was still a great day!

As for a general update: Right now, Bubbe Ellen is visiting from Cincinnati (no photos yet but we have some great video), but it has been quite a week: on Easter we got into a serious car crash (baby not in car, everyone remarkably okay), and for the last couple days Bubbe has been sick in bed with something like a stomach flu. This was also the first week of classes for Anna, and also the week she made her annual presentation to the board. Fran has lots of work she is doing for a couple different clients. Whew!
Developmentally (for those interested), Jeremy now has 7 signs- duck and ball being two of the most recent.

Milestones and more Movies



Click here for a video of Jeremy standing and playing. He's doing lots more than even is shown here (such as signing, stacking blocks, handing objects, etc.) but this will give you a sense of what he is doing these days: http://www.ourmedia.org/ia/details/ASimonJeremyat8monthsold/ or click here: http://www.archive.org/details/ASimonJeremyat8monthsold/

Baby's first bike ride



Last Saturday, we took advantage of the record 74 degree weather to take the boy on his first (of hopefully many) bike ride(s). Granted, he hated the helmet, but the ride was smooth and he settled in fine. The next day, we just cuddled up at home indoors while it snowed 4"!! The photo below was taken today (Tuesday) of the two boys (Jeremy and Luca)- still pretty cold.
