Some highlights

Since I haven't been keeping up with the blog so well lately, I'm going to hit some highlights in both word and images.



*Jeremiah has been sitting in a booster seat at the table for about a month now. I guess that means it is time to get the highchair out of our dining room, already!


*He and I had a great time playing ball in the basement for nearly a half hour on Sunday. He's getting really good at kicking the ball and catching it when it is rolled to him on the ground.




* These jammies from Great-Grandma Z. are awesome...and he can say "froggie".



* He can also say many other words. When I picked him up tonight the sitter informed that he talked all day, although she only understood about half of it. He's surprising us each day with the words he says and things he knows that we didn't even realize he knew, like who Sponge Bob Square Pants is.



*He's developed an intriguing affinity for magazines and catalogs! His favoriate "reading" lately has been a Fisher Price catalog that arrived in the mail a few weeks ago. It features "Manny's Tools", Elmo, and Mickey Mouse, which he informs us of each day. Here he is reading the Illinois Alumni Magazine, intently on a Sunday afternoon.



* A few weeks ago I was brave enough to try to do a basic craft project with him. We collected rocks to paint orange and draw faces on to be pumpkins. He liked collecting the rocks and washing them, but the second picture is of him making 1 of only two strokes with the paintbrush. I finished the first coat of paint myself and the rocks are sitting unfinished in the garage. (I have 9 days until Halloween - it may not happen.)
