Jon and Amber

Last weekend, Jeremy had fun with Dad:
   
(Also had fun with Mom, but I’m usually the one behind the camera so we don’t have any pictures of me!)

And Grandma:
   

And this weekend he and I had fun going to the library with Niamh and her Mom on our first playdate! (Click the picture below to see a few more of the babies playing together.)
 

Today has been an eventful day. This morning, we noticed a little white dot on Jeremy’s upper gums… his third new tooth! Hooray! (It’s been hard trying to get a picture of it, but it’s not much to look at right now. Maybe when it’s bigger we’ll be able to get a good picture.)

The even bigger event happened when Jon’s folks and sister came by for a little visit. We were showing them Jeremy’s little ride-on toy car that converts to a walker. We popped it up into the walker just to show how it worked, and somehow or another Jeremy got a hold of it and ran across the room while holding on to it! I got the video camera out, and after a few slow starts, he really got going and was extremely excited and proud of himself, shouting and grinning like a madman!

I’m just now waiting for the video to upload – will post it here when it’s ready!
Here’s the video – enjoy!

I had to leave work early today and happened to get to the daycare just in time to see snacktime! (cheese cracker sandwiches & water in sippy cups). Jeremy did great and I’m told he is very happy to be part of the group finally when food is served (Poor kid didn’t like our ideas about delayed solids!)

Jeremy is cruising along the furniture, crawling at lightning speed, and getting into EVERYTHING these days!

We had a nice Christmas with Jon’s side of the family here in Minnesota. And between Xmas and New Year’s, my folks came down from North Dakota to visit too, so it was a great holiday season all around. I think Jeremy’s favorite gift this year was this little play table. He loves walking around and around (and around and around!) and playing with it.

It’s been a very busy 2-week vacation for Jeremy and me. Besides being constantly on the move, he’s also experimenting with new foods – he already recognizes the box of Cheerios when he sees his favorite little snack (besides his milkies of course ) And this evening he got a new treat – (smushed) blueberries – YUM!
