Jeremiah is 18 months old!

One year & 6 months has passed since this cutie changed our lives forever! He fills my day with fun, laughter, sometimes frustration (he is a toddler) and so much joy. We laugh so much in our house & most of the time it's at our buddy, whether he's intending to be funny or not. Today while I was nursing Iris he crawled onto the couch and snuggled up to me & said, "wuv you". That was the first time he's said it without us saying it first. sniff, sniff...

Here we go!

At 18 months Jeremiah:
*loves Elmo, Cookie Monster & Curious George
He can read any book that has them in it over & over. In fact, if they aren't in the book, he will find something in the book that might relate to them. He loves the videos as well and hunts for them at the library. He will snag any ad or magazine to see if he can find a picture of any of them, his detective skills crack us up!
*talks really well and adds more words to his vocabulary daily
*loves blueberries, grapes & blackberries & will beg for them at every meal
We've started to have to save them as a special treat if he eats other things first.
*loves to play his drums
*wants to push any button he finds; microwaves, light switches, remote controls, the coffee pot, cell phones, if it has a button, he wants to push it!
*has lots of favorites foods, but a few are sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs, oatmeal & turkey sandwiches
*played in the snow for the first time this week & loved it!
*loves to play ball with his daddy
*loves to read books and has started "reading" out loud to us & to his baby sister
*loves to take baths
*helps Mommy prepare meals by sitting on the counter or standing in a chair where he "washes" things.
*starts his day by snuggling with Mommy in bed
*makes a face we call his silly face or his George face (Curious George) that is sure to make anyone laugh and beg for more
*loves his Aunt Gigi (our friend Jeannie) and he knows when we drive passed her office & gets very upset if we don't stop to say hello & play
*loves to pray
We of course love this and encourage it, but it is awesome to have him ask to pray and then make suggestions of who we should pray for. His favorite subject of prayer? His friend, Hey! Also known as our dear friend & Pastor, Jordan Roe.
*loves his little sister & is ensuring she will never have a dull life
*is our favorite little guy & it is a privilege to be his parents. Everyday holds new surprises & lots of fun!
