Tooth Report

So it is official...the first tooth has cut through. His bottom right tooth came in less than 2 weeks ago and since then his top right tooth cut through. A lopsided smile only mother could love. I snapped a cute photo last night- but you can only see the bottom one.

FIRST STEPS!

Jeremiah's development is on supersonic mode right now in his ninth month. He has learned to throw a ball back and forth to us, crawl and push a toy across the room, walk on a walker, say dad and mama and...yes...take his first two steps! Enjoy some of the newest photos of our sweet boy!

The baby peed MY pants.!? Ok, so I will add to the list of "never thought it could/would happen list". Sitting on the side of the tub waiting for Jeremiah's bath and he started to pee...sneaky little boy actually got the stream to land where my bermuda shorts open at the back of my knees...and I will spare the details of it running "up or is it down?" my leg. Just check out the picture!

More 8 month old photos. Milestones from this last month: crawling and pulling up, and bot is he a quick one. He is also going to cut his first tooth any day now. My favorite thing to watch him sit on his knees with his little feet making a "W" and bounce up and down when music is on. He thinks he is so funny!

Here are a few photos from our trip to Cambria in July- Avila Valley Barn and Moonstone Beach

Now that I have a computer, I can update the blog more frequently. Here are Jeremiah's 6th, 7th and 8 month photos.

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!
