So Jeremiah has started to crawl. It's more of a commando crawl, but he gets to where he wants to go...typically after a cat or a corner of a room that inevitably has some interesting doo-dad like a dead bug or a leaf brought in by the dog that the vacuum missed. And speaking of vacuuming, no matter how much I do it, it grows grass and animal hair- hum. So he pulls with his left forearm and pushes with the tips of his right foot and often is accompanied by some excited short breaths of accomplishment. Today he discovered one of the most interesting toys in the house: the door stop. He figured out how to pull it one direction and let go so it would jiggle so fast back and forth that it would make him squeal with delight. Foreshadowing the inevitable, he pulled off the little white rubber stopper on the end, so now I must make the very hard decision of either taking super glue to each one or removing all from the house: decisions, decisions!

COMPUTER CRASH!!!!
Haven't been able to post any new pics because my computer crashed, but now with help from the hubs, I have his laptop for the weekend. So happy fourth of July a week late! Uncle Josh was down for the weekend and snapped some great photos of the guy. Here is just one of our favorites...

We have a baby that now eats cereal! Jeremiah will be turning 6 months on Monday and has started showing us that he is ready to eat. Enjoy the video of his first bites of food...

We were playing on the ground one day and Jeremiah started laughing as I jiggled my belly...the more I did it, the harder he laughed. Be prepared to smile...this video has that effect!

We had a wonderful time in San Diego and loved having friends and family around. Our week started at La Costa where Jeremiah got a chance to see his cousin Amelie and swim for the first time. Later that week we went to the zoo, visited with Great Grandma Rue and helped Grandma Ann pack up her classroom as she said good bye to 38 years of teaching and hello to retirement. We ended the week with a wonderful party to honor her where Jeremiah got to meet all her friends. Here are just a few videos and photos from our week.

This is a very happy baby when his Razberry Teether is around. Hear his happy talking?
