Jeremiah's Journal

I had a very happy day! God's mercies are new every morning. After being sick last weekend I have bounced back to my happy self as if nothing happened at all! I am such a happy boy. I slept well, jumped out of bed and threw a basketball into my hoop. I played all morning, read books, and watched my favorite video, Winnie the Pooh. For lunch, I ate curly pasta and spaghetti sauce all by myself and I didn't drop any of it on the floor! I just kept getting happier and happier throughout the day. I even did 3 new things that made mommy laugh: I wore her slippers on my feet and shuffled along; I made a funny fish face by sucking in my cheeks, and for the first time I yelled "Go daddy" (it actually was more like "ga da da") when he was playing softball. I also have amazing physical balance as I pretended to be a gymnast walking on a balance beam when I walked all by myself across the bleachers.

Boo hoo, I was very, very sick last weekend with a high fever, blisters in my mouth and my second ear infection. I was cranky and crying for three days in a row! Mommy had to comfort me and sleep with me all the time. I wasn't a very good medicine-take either so mommy AND daddy had to pin me down 4-5 times a day to give me my medicine through a syringe in my mouth. My mouth hurt so much it was clamped shut. All I could eat was Popsicle's and ice cream. Well great-grandpa and great-grandma, grandpa and grandma prayed for me from Hong Kong and God was merciful. I started to get better Sunday night and finally ate a meal to the relief of mommy (I ate Korean dumplings and rice cakes after 48 hours of not eating anything). P.S. I now am 25 pounds and 9 ounces. I am 32 " tall, a big boy at 17 months

I've been 16-months old since July 25th. I like verbalizing now, pointing to things and saying "ma... ma..." or "be... be... be...". For example, "bah.." means balloon. I can't connect all the syllables like Mommy or Daddy, but I'm sure trying! My first word that people seem to respond to is "baby"! I love being with people, especially ones that are about my size. I especially like to greet babies. I just spent a few days at Grandpa and Grandma's in Winchester. It was a lot of fun because they give me a lot of things to eat, and this time we went shopping and I picked out my own new size-7 Pooh shoes. The old Giant Photo Album isn't working as fast as Daddy would like. Even though that server had unlimited space, it also takes unlimited patience for the pictures to transfer. The freeservers Giant Photo Album was most responsive, but one that's turned out to be better is: Jeremiah's Giant Photo Album . Finally.
