Jeremy Movies update


Life has been as busy as ever, so here are a couple of movies, one several months old, but a goodie. Jeremy has had a verbal explosion over the last two months and now knows in the neighborhood of probably 300 words (and about 100 signs). We stopped counting over a month ago when we literally couldn't keep up anymore; it seems as though he's learning about 5 new words a day. Some recent ones are "bird house", "stories", and "cracker" (he used to only sign that one). he's also saying sentences now, such as, "Mama, strawberries more cut please?" It's getting late, so I'll upload my two movies and get to bed.

Here is a movie about Jeremy at the Farmer's Market last summer- swooning over a kitty and enjoying some live music: Click HERE:http://ourmedia.org/node/487155

Jeremy is quite obsessed with violins, incidentally. Has been for several months now- gets very excited when he sees a picture of one, hears one on the radio, etc. He mimes playing one making a high-pitched sound like a squeeky violin. The ultimate was when Mama found a YouTube video of Elmo playing a violin! He loves violin so much, that we spent over 20 minutes the other night looking at and talking about one page in one of his board books that has a photo of a violin in it. We video taped about 15 minutes of it just to document it- I'm not uploading it because it is pretty boring to most folks! Maybe I'll edit it down though- is pretty funny how excited he is about it.

Here is a video of Jeremy saying that he is "two" (even though he is one and a half now). He is starting to count- can count to 8 on occasion! Click HERE: http://ourmedia.org/node/487156
