Jeremy's first camping trip

Last weekend we went up to Rocky Mountain National Park to see the aspens turning and hear the elk bugling with our friend, "Uncle Eric". Jeremy had his first experience with sleeping in a tent, cooking over a campfire, and looking through binoculars. His favorite things were playing in the tent and finding "musical instruments" in the forest.  Check out a 9 min video with photos here: http://www.ourmedia.org/media/first-camping-trip

Big Day out with Thomas

Jeremy loves Thomas the Tank Engine! Jeremy brought Papa and Jacob for our first experience with the Thomas Fest at the Colorado Rail Road Museum (see previous post on our first trip to the museum). Check out two video montages of the "Big Day": Click here for the 5 min video of the whole day: http://www.ourmedia.org/ia/details/ASimonDayoutwithThomas/ and here for the 3 min epilogue on the car ride home:http://www.ourmedia.org/ia/details/ASimonDayoutwiththomasepilogue/

Our climbing boy

Jeremy is in love with climbing- climbing rocks, climbing the jungle gym at the playground, climbing furniture... you get the idea. It all started with our trip to Albuquerque (thanks, Lyn!), and has just taken off since. Now Jeremy is doing the monkey bars only slightly assisted (mostly, so that we don't have a heart attack), and has discovered jumping off things that are getting higher and higher. The playground by our house has 6' tall fake boulders that he has mastered getting to the top of, and Mama found him jumping from the couch to the coffee table and back this afternoon.

On the health front, Jeremy seems to be responding well to the double-dose of Nasonex plus the homeopathic nose spray (poor dude, we're squirting something up his nose every chance we get). He still doesn't sleep through the night reliably, but at least we get a few each week now, and often he isn't as distressed when he does wake and can put himself back to sleep. We hope that his adenoids are actually shrinking, but we might have to do a second x-ray to be sure of that.
