Daddy's boy

Jeremiah often hangs out with dad while mom makes dinner, does laundry, or takes a break. As you can see, he is not so particular as to how he sits as long as he's hanging out with dad.

And of course, he wouldn't be Greg's son without some BYU apparel and what better to wear on a Football Saturday than a football jersey? Greg bought it for him at the last football game he went to.
 

Milestones

Jeremiah has begun to grab on to toys and tries to put them in his mouth. We're not sure if it's intentional, but at least he does it!

I just thought these pictures were too cute not to share with everyone.

Now he can hold his head up on his own and he sits, as long as I'm holding him up.

He is now 10 lbs 11oz., He is about 14 weeks old and getting cuter every day. He is sleeping much better through the night and these days he only wakes up once. I thought it would never happen, but luckily for me, it did. Of course eventually he will sleep through the entire night without waking up, but we're just grateful for the blessing of only one late night feeding. He is always bright eyed like these pictures show. Everyone who sees him seems to think that it is out of the ordinary but it seems normal to us. He loves to look around and as long as he has a world to observe he is completely happy. Till next time!

Mom's Photo Shoot

Not too bad for a photographer with no experience, no skill, and a shaky hand? Oh, and this is the first smile we've been able to catch on film!

 

Jeremiah's Blessing

We had a great picnic at the park on Saturday afternoon after everyone arrived.
The whole group.
These are the three Hirschi grandchildren. Trevin, Jeremiah, and Braden (sorry if it's misspelled). They had to tell Braden to fold his arms in order for his to sit still.

Jeremiah Pictures

These are pictures Grandpa Curzon took of him during his first week.

He isn't always as happy as we would like him to be.

But he sure is cute.

He likes his baths a lot more now that he can be submerged in the water.

These are pictures of Jeremiah's first bath.

Diaper changing has become a common occurance in our house.

Jeremiah took his first bottle from daddy. At least we know he'll eat from a bottle!

Is he not the cutest thing you've ever seen?

We experienced a spit-up-explosion! All over his face, and all over mom!

Jeremiah's Birth

I was admitted to the hospital at about 5:00 PM and Jeremiah was born at 9:02 PM.

This is child #1

This is Jeremiah's first photograph.

Greg got to be the first to hold Jeremiah. I felt pretty jelous because I did all the work and while he was enjoying the moment I has to lay on the bed and be stitched up!

Of course, I got my turn.

This is Jeremiah in my recovery room, hanging out with Dad. He looks so small next to Greg.

Jeremiah was admitted to the NICU after he was born for overnight observation, but was later discharged on Saturday evening. While we were both in the hospital our family members were at our house packing and cleaning. They were such a blessing during a very stressful time. We left the hospital and arrived at our home in Boise at 2:00 AM on Sunday morning. It was the longest 7 hours of my life!
