Jeremy the artist


One of Jeremy's favorite things to do is to draw with 'cran' (crayons) in the tub (special ones for the purpose).  This time, we really let him go at it...

In other news, Jeremy's verbal development has really been exploding of late; we count at least 135 spoken words now, and over 65 signed words. There is a new word (or two, or three) a day. Of course, this doesn't hold a candle to some of his amazing friends (e.g. Brayden with over 300 words and sentences, just two months older), but it's enough to impress us!

Also, Jeremy went to his first stock show today to watch his friend Ari win FIRST PLACE in the "small fry" division of the Western Stock Show Fiddle Contest (click here for the posting from last year, when he won second place). Jeremy sat through over an hour of live fiddling, mesmerized, clapping when appropriate. The boy certainly loves music!

Finally, we have a few more cute videos to share: Here's Jeremy giving his cat, Lincoln a big hug (note that he says, "hug" right at the beginning): http://www.ourmedia.org/ia/details/ASimonJeremylovesLincoln/
And here's another of him discovering a new way to eat Annie's cheese shells (a kind of mac n cheese): http://www.ourmedia.org/ia/details/ASimonJeremyeatscheeseshells/

Jeremy movie palooza


Happy New Year! We just had a wonderful holiday, including a visit from our friends Rita and Lyn (with son Kasen), a visit from Papa and Grannie, Jeremy's first trip to the aquarium (he LOVED it, and even wanted to swim with them- Papa had to hold on tight), and a trip to see the ZooLights. Mommy and Mama got to have a few "dates" the last two weeks, including bike riding, eating out, and movies- some of our favorite things.


Since we're behind in blogging, I thought I'd upload a few videos for our fans' viewing pleasure.
