Aquarium Visit

Jeremiah rides his Harley

Jeremiah loves his motorcycle at Nana & Popa's house. Uncle Perry did a great job picking this one up! He's usually a bit more aggressive with his driving than he is in this video, but it's still cute.

Also - this video was taken on an iPod touch. I can't believe the quality is so good!

Row, Row, Row Your Boat!

Jeremiah has gotten really into singing songs with us lately. His two favorite are "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" that he sings with Daddy and "Jesus Love Me" that he sings with Mommy. Here's a cute little video Jeremiah & Josh singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat".

Donkey

We've all quickly fallen in love with Leroy, the Donkey. He's sweet and loves to be fed treats. Here's a video of Jeremiah feeding Leroy. Enjoy!

Chinese Snow

So I have quite a few "catch-up" posts I want to write w/ some pictures, but I'm tired since someone decided to wake up at 3:30am for the day. Let's hope that is NEVER repeated again.

Anyway, one of my "catch-up" posts is about our 5+ inches of snow last Friday. I thought this was an appropriate segue to that post.  It's HILARIOUS! This is a clip from the show, Ni Hao Kai Lan. Although I've never seen the show, I understand it features a Chinese girl & teaches the Chinese translation for certain English words each episode. Evidently the Chinese word for snow is eerily similar to a word I'm sure you've said a time or two when something just isn't quite going your way. Watch & enjoy :)

Jeremiah & a Coke Bottle

Jeremiah has been imitating other's actions lately. We were trying to get him to open a Coke bottle & pretended to strain to open it. His response was hilarious! Check it out...





That face just cracks me up!

Jeremiah WALKS!

J has been getting more & more bold with his steps lately. Today he started walking without any prompting - he would just stand up on his own & go! He walked about half-way across the living room several times today and was SO proud of himself.

I tried to get it on video, but never really succeeded. Here is a short clip of him walking a little tonight after his bath. I apologize because I didn't even think that the video wouldn't be able to "rotate", so you'll just have to turn your head. I'll try to get a normal video soon.

Warning: Baby Bootie will be seen! But I think he is just so stinkin' cute!!

Beach Vacation

We are back from a WONDERFUL week at the beach! We are definitely a family made for the sand & surf. Here are a few of my favorite pictures (I could only narrow them down to 17!), so the rest are here: http://beckyandjosh.shutterfly.com/

And a little bit of video for your viewing pleasure :)

"TP" Play

You often hear of "Water Play" at preschool and in lower elementary grades. Something fun for the kids to do while they express their creativity. Jeremiah's creative outlet is toilet paper. Not a great art medium, but he really seems to enjoy it. I thought we had passed this stage (for at least 2 months all the TP rolls sat on counter tops instead of being in their normal holders just to stay out of reach of tiny little fingers), but boy was I wrong. In the 2 seconds it took me to go from the bathroom to his room to dump his cloth diaper in the diaper pail, I came back to find almost an entire roll of TP on the floor. I quickly sprung into action to salvage as much TP as possible, as you can see from the picture below, I wasn't very successful.

Check out this short video of Little J playing with the TP. I especially love when he puts the TP & bath mat in his mouth like a puppy dog. What a silly boy! It ends pretty abruptly because J was trying to take the camera from me...just like the phone, the remote, and anything else electronic :)

Hey Granny, it's Little J
