Jeremiah's Journal

ahhhhhh.. I'm feeling so much better, and back to my ol' energetic hyper self! I was really feeling bummed and tired all week, trying to recover from my cold and runny nose, and even had a fever as high as 103.1 just 3 days ago, but by God's grace, and some Tylenol and Motrin, it went down over the course of the evening, and now all that's left is a runny nose. tonight I went to see my Grandpa and Grandma, and visited with lots of new people for Chinese New Year dinner... I ate some chewy sticky rice.. mmmmm.. and after some walking, and peek-a-boo, and giggling, I was tired, and slept all the way home. Hey, by the way, you know what, I'm 10 months old now.

Happy New Year every body! I am starting to walk, and you can be sure I'll be running very soon. I took my Daddy and Mommy to downtown Washington yesterday, and the weather has been very unwinterlike, so it was like 60 degrees outdoors.. Daddy and my Godparents were tired from strolling the Mall in front of the Air & Space Museum, and I was getting tired of sitting around in the stroller, so I yelped to walk around a little.. and Daddy found some soft shoes for my feet, and so I stood up, saw some little birds that Daddy called pigeons, and I walked towards them, while holding on to Daddy's hands.. I led the way, and Daddy followed along really well. I walked around for about 5 minutes, and wanted to take a seat on the grass, but Daddy didn't want me getting dirty, so I got lifted up and buckled back into the baby stroller. Last Sunday, I was dedicated to my God the Creator, with Mommy and Daddy and all the grandparents by their sides.. Daddy read a charge to me from Je
