Let Freedom Ring!

On the Fourth of July our little family took a trip downtown for the parade. I know that Jeremiah doesn't look very patriotic, but he was having fun. Next we went to one of the many parks in Boise for a huge fireworks show, which was awesome. Jeremiah didn't care much for the fireworks, but at 10:30pm he didn't care much for anything other than laying down my shoulder and trying to go to sleep. It was fun hanging out at the park. We brought a picnic lunch and enjoyed the atmosphere. Much more eventful than last fourth of july when I was recovering from childbirth. :)

Happy Birthday!

Welcome to Jeremiah's First Birthday Party!

Since Jeremiah didn't even notice, we invited OUR friends over for a picnic, but it was so hot that we moved our picnic inside.
MOM fed Jeremiah watermelon. DAD fed Jeremiah Root Beer - He didn't like it.

Then came the cake......... Okay, so its not fancy, but it tastes good!
This is when the sugar coma kicked in.... I took the rest of the cake away, even though it would have been fun to see how much he could eat.
After a nap he was happy as could be.

Jeremiah weighs 21 pounds now, and is 29 1/2 inches long. He's still just below average for his age. He can take a few steps on his own now, though he still prefers crawling, or holding on to something. His new favorite thing is taking out all my pots and pans and making a lot of noise in the kitchen.
