The best thing in Grandma's House is Grandpa...?

I would just like to give a very special thanks to GRANDMA for giving Jeremy bathtub crayons....

The first cut is the deepest....

While Robyn was in the hospital last Thursday, Jeremy and I had a rough night. Jeremy woke up at around 4:30am which is fairly normal, but when I brought him to bed with me he flipped out when Robyn wasn't there. After yelling "NO, Mommy." a few times he threw his head forward right into the headboard on our bed. OUCH. I grabbed him with one hand and turned on the light with the other. By the time I had the light on, we looked like something out of CSI. With help from Bree, we got him into the ER and patched up. When I was a kid, it would have been worth a couple stitches, but these days they just glue them shut. Robyn was surprised by a 5am visit in her hospital room!

Jeremy's First Ice Cream Cone!

2008-07-12T21:26:00.001-07:00

Tonight we took Jeremy to Dessart for his first cone (on his own)....

Kind of funny to wear a shirt that says, "eat your peas and carrots" while eating an ice cream cone.

... and then the sugar kicked in:

2008-06-14T11:44:00.000-07:00

I was on the phone with my sister and Robyn was in the other room. I thought she had the boy, she had left him with me, oops. We found him in his room on his chair.

The light goes on...

2007-06-14T07:12:00.001-07:00

Since having Jeremy, we notice that there are sudden changes that happen with him. It is like he grows overnight for example. One day he is one size and by the next morning he has grown....
It is the same with his development. Kendal and I both swear that sometimes he gos to bed one night and wakes up the next morning having figured something out, and is a different guy then when he went to bed.....
Yesterday, when he woke up, it was as though he had learned how to grab everything in sight and wanted to touch everything. I brought him to the Health Unit for his shots, and he was ripping up and crinkling the paper he was laying on, and then he was grabbing for the measuring tape, and then all the toys on the counter....
Not that he couldn't pick things up the day before....but something was just different....
and then he gave me a for real hug...reached for Kendal when Kendal asked if he wanted to come to him....and was relating differently to Mercy Buckets when I was visiting Brenda....
I am so glad I can stay home with him and see all these new firsts....

By the way, the boy is now 14 lbs 2 oz...but he is still 10th percentile in growth....

Jeremy rolls over...

2007-06-08T11:40:00.000-07:00

Jeremy finally rolled over for the first time this week....Wednesday to be exact...and I happened to be lucky enough to be holding my camera....(oh..there is a really big surprise.....) so you get to share this precious moment with me! He was sure proud of himself afterwards....LOL!

Jeremy Kissing mom...

2007-06-07T07:26:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure why, but this seems to be one of our more popular videos on YouTube....I like it, but I am biased....
Anyways, here it is....It is grainy though, as Kendal took it on his cell phone....

Baby laughing...

2007-06-06T07:42:00.000-07:00

Monday night at supper, Kendal took some balloons that Jeremy was looking at, and started waving them back and forth hypnotically. He was paying so much attention to them that Kendal thought it would be funny to tap him on the head with them, but we didn't expect the reaction......After a couple of minutes, he started laughing hilariously ....

new born Jeremy...

2007-06-02T08:02:00.001-07:00

This video seems to have been fairly popular on our You Tube, and so I thought I would post it again....
I CAN NOT believe Jeremy is already 4.5 months old...That is crazy. It seems like I was just holding this little bundle of bones.....
However, on a funny note...while he may not look like the newborn in this video anymore, I go to a coffee group for moms on Friday mornings at our church, and he is the oldest of the babies. He is also the SMALLEST one in the group. The youngest in age is 2 months old, and she is 15 lbs! Jeremy is 13.5 lbs as of this week......Wow! Tiny guy.

Jeremy's New Favorite Book.

2007-05-31T09:26:00.001-07:00

OK, you would think, that because Jeremy is only 4.5 months old, he wouldn't have a lot of interest in books yet..but you would be mistaken, because apparently...he does.
We kind of already knew this, because we bought him his first cloth book over a month ago, when he showed A LOT of interest in it at a book store....but yesterday, I went to a Discovery Toys Party at my friend Lauren's house, and I bought a couple of things for him including this book.
WELL....Let me tell you....we brought it home and read it to him before bed, and he couldn't get enough....The pictures have little flaps you can pull down, and every time we did, he would laugh.
He somehow figured out that he could turn pages, and so he kept trying to do that. When I finished reading the book to him, I put it down, and he started crying and grabbing at it!!! I ended up reading it to him three times...LOL!

We said peek-a boo every time we opened a flap.. and he thought that was a great game.....

Discovery toys is actually quite an interesting company. Apparently they have been around for a long time, and they have lifetime garantees on their products. The consultant even told me that if you find a discovery toy at a garage sale and it is missing a piece, they will find it if they can....
I am considering becoming a consultant just so I can get a cheaper price on toys for myself and the kids I babysit....

Well Baby Checkup!

2007-05-29T13:18:00.000-07:00

Jeremy and I went this morning for his well baby checkup.....He is such a little sweety. He was hungry and not feeling well, but he still had the energy to flirt with my female doctor, and smile for her when she was poking and prodding him.....
Everything looks great! He is 13 lbs 5 oz which is smaller then what Kendal and I had guessed...(When you are carrying him in that car seat he may as well be 50 lbs....)
and he is actually at the 10th percentile right now, which makes him a very small 4.5 month old....but the doctor said not to worry because he is still growing and he is all the right proportions for his size. He is thriving and so it doesn't matter too much...She said solid foods still at 6 months, and to just keep doing what we are doing. I love a good report!

More Jeremy!

Jeremy's favorite book.-Quacky Duck...

2007-05-11T07:48:00.000-07:00

Jeremy is going to be a book lover. Until about two weeks ago, Jer showed no interest in any kind of toy at all....not even the hanging ones above his chair....then....we went into a book store....and the lights went on. Just for fun, we showed him some kids books, and he got really excited!!!! We ended up buying him the one that excited him the most, which was the one in the picture. It has crinkly pages, bright colors...and of course...a squeaking duck. Since then we have bought him several others including a talking Elmo book,,,one of the ones which you push the buttons on and gst different music or characters talking....he loves it, and gets so excited he tries to kick his way off my lap....Yesterday we spent 45 minutes checking out pictures in a cookbook because he liked the pictures.......

2007-05-06T00:22:00.000-07:00

It has crinkly stuff in the pages.

It has a soft squeaky Duck on top.

And it has chewy thing on the corners.

This is the first toy he showed a lot of interest in.

More pictures as promised....

Jeremy is almost 4 months old!

2007-05-03T13:34:00.000-07:00

Wow! It's hard to believe that my little boy is already almost 4 months old! It seems such a short time since I quit my job at Bobcat.....
He has been such a joy too. He is still a really good baby. Barely ever cries....although after sleeping through the night once...he got a cold and is back to waking up twice a night.....
Oh well....
I have attached some more pics of him...just click on the above picture....more pics will be added tomorrow....

2007-05-02T18:52:00.000-07:00

YAAAA!

2007-04-27T13:01:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, my little man slept through the night....seven hours....In his own basinet! I don't really expect him to do it every night yet, but it was a nice start.....Last night though...no such luck. He got cold around 2 am, and I ended up having to bring him to bed....BUT we are getting there! He is soooo freakin cute..and such a great baby! Barely ever makes a sound....Luv it!

Awwww....

2007-04-21T13:18:00.000-07:00

My son loves me, but not always. When he's fed and dry, he likes me, but when he's hungry.... I guess it's beause I'm the lactose-free parent, or as Paul says I only have milk-duds.

Big Boy!.

2007-04-20T14:43:00.000-07:00

Jeremy turned 3 months old on April 10....So far he is an amazingly good baby....Only cries when he is hungry or has a really valid reason. He doesn't seem to be in a huge hurry to do anything, but he does smile and laugh, and as of today has started to bat his toys around. There doesn't seem to be any problems with his hearing or vision, and although he wakes up twice a night, it is only ever for about five minutes at a time....
I think we will keep him.

We went in for his first shots on Wed.

He did cry for that....
Poor guy-a shot in both legs...
and he was very miserable for the rest of the night.
However, he is in the 50th percentile for his height and weight...
He is 11 lbs 14 oz....

Here as usual...are more pictures of the little prince...

In my room...

2007-04-13T12:29:00.000-07:00

Well, we have already lost one battle...LOL! Jeremy is three months old and still sleeping in my room.....
So much for my lofty ambitions...
In fact, about half of the time he is still sleeping with us....
We are working on it, but I think it is part of his deceptive plan to stay in our room till he is ten...
I think whether he likes it or not though, he is going to meet his crib by the end of the month...
Not sure how that will go, and I am half expecting some sleepless nights, but we will see....
He doesn't have much choice though. He is going to outgrow the basinet!

The sheep are Jeremy's favorite toy....Every time I put him in the basinet, he smiles and talks to them. There is also a music box attached which he also likes. He is really going to really miss his bed...

More Firsts!

2007-04-06T12:18:00.000-07:00

We are done with the first smile now....we are getting little baby belly laughs....
In particular he thinks it is extremly funny when Kendal makes silly noises....It's amazing how a tiny little boy can reduce a grown man to an idiot.....LOL!
We are also rewarded with smiles for mimicking him, talking to him first thing in the morning, changing his bottom, and singing to him.....

Yesterday we also noticed that his hand-eye co-ordination is getting much better...He is beginning to reach for objects now. Tummy time has been a complete failure though...every time he is on his tummy he falls asleep.......

Jeremy's first trip to Wascana!

2007-03-29T12:04:00.000-07:00

The path was flooded over ankle deep...

Last Saturday, the weather was absolutely beautiful, so we took Jeremy for his first walk around the Wascana
(takes about one hour) It was so nice out...(18 degrees) Definately t-shirt weather....

Jeremy really enjoyed his first walk....he spent most of his time talking to the trees....

First Shopping Trip....

2007-03-27T06:55:00.000-07:00

Now that the weather is on the up and up, we have the spring fever bug, and so Jeremy experienced some more firsts this Sat.His sister had some clothes shopping to do, and so Jeremy was stuck coming along for the ride..

One cool dude....

Soother and glasses.....Can't get better then this...

He doesn't appear to be too interested....

Happy Jeremy.....Grumpy Jeremy!

Interactive Jeremy...

2007-03-21T15:44:00.000-07:00

The last couple of days with Jeremy have really been fun as he is getting to be more and more interactive....He woke up in a really good mood yesterday, and was chatting up a storm....(a fairly new thing) to the point where he was screaming in joy.....It was very funny....He is also smiling a lot more, although we haven't heard him laugh more then a couple of times yet....he was sure enjoying me singing with a CD today...(or maybe he was laughing at me....) Today he was also playing with a hanging toy..something he also hasn't done much yet......It is kind of sad in a way....He is even starting to outgrow stuff, and I have had to put away a couple of preemie sleepers....

Daddy and Jeremy!

2007-03-19T07:14:00.000-07:00

Jeremy says Happy St. Patty's Day!

2007-03-17T07:01:00.001-07:00

Jeremy laughs!

2007-03-10T07:25:00.000-08:00

Jeremy must have been playing with his facial muscles yesterday, or in a really good mood, cause every time I looked at him he smiled...(or maybe he is just laughing at me....) and then last night, he laughed for the first time! Was it ever cute....(I know...I am completlely obsessed with my little man....LOL!) We are always excited when he does something new, as so far all he mostly ever does is sleep....a drastic change, since my girls were awake and running from birth...

Jer is finally big enough to fit some newborn clothes at 6.5 weeks!

First Smile!

2007-02-26T07:02:00.000-08:00

Some history first about the below pictures.....My husband made me buy the bear....because it matched his hat...LOL!
and then he made me take the bear to church with Jeremy the next day even though he doesn't play with things yet....(I was vastly amused)

Now about the smile...The other night, I wasn't feeling well, and Jeremy and I were awake at 5am, so we went and sat in his room, and played...or rather I decided to find out what fit him...at 5am....
As he was laying there he started making cooing noises (at the wall) and I was pretty excited, as those were his first....and so I started talking to him...and we got the first real smile...
It was worth it even to be up at 5am!
Since then, he has smiled several times and to several people...
The other thing we have noticed he likes to do is touch Kendal's beard....He seems quite fascinated with it....

6.5 Weeks!

Update!

2007-02-23T12:52:00.000-08:00

WhoHoo! The health nurse was over this morning and we weighed baby Jeremy, and he is 8 lbs and 7.5 ounces! That officially takes him off of the concern list and puts him in the 50th percentile exactly where he is supposed to be!

Nursery

2007-02-23T07:59:00.000-08:00

Finally after 6 weeks I managed to get Jeremy's nursery done...but I guess you could say that I did get it done on time, as he was really only due last week!

6 Weeks Old

2007-02-22T08:53:00.000-08:00

Wow! As hard as it is to believe, Jeremy is already 6 weeks old....He is doing good now and for anyone who was keeping track, he is gaining weight...I think he is actually almost 8 lbs. He is just outgrowing his preemie clothes now and may actually fit into new born stuff next week....
His jaundice has also cleared up, and he is looking very handsome and for once not yellow....LOL!
He is proving to be a really good little boy....barely ever crys, and pretty much sleeps most of the time, although he is staying awake for longer and longer periods of time.
He had his first bath that wasn't a sponge bath on Wednesday...He was really good, and only cried for a minute when we took him out because he was cold...
He has also had a few smiles, but I wouldn't swear yet that they weren't gas...

We are really happy he is here with us....I think we might keep him!

Special thanks to our friend Brenda K and my mom for throwing us another baby shower. This shower was held at Gateway Christian Fellowship and was attended by family, many non-Avonhurst friends, and a few friends who work with me(and my parents) at sears. Apparently we were a little too picture happy though. There were so many pictures that I posted them on a second webpage. Click here to see the pictures or click on my dad.

Robyn and I just want to say a special thanks to everyone at Avonhurst(our church) for all the gifts and support we have received since Jeremy's birth. Also we want to say a special thanks to Naomi, our good friend, who organized a terrific baby shower for us. She also has taken special interest in looking after our grandson Talon at church every Sunday. THANKS

Already meeting girls!

These were taken on Friday, Jan 12, 2007. We took these pictures just before they released us. We only got to go home for two days, before they admitted him into the kids ward for UV lamp treatment. His jaundice was quite bad. They kept him under the lamp for the rest of the week.

This is the bear hat that we bought at the Gap back in October.
