jeremiah's 1st birthday

So yesterday was Jeremiah's birthday,
I can't believe it's been a whole year...
Holy moly cow! (as Jacob would say)
We wish you all could have been here.

(Truly, that did not start out as a poem, but alas, rhyming happens.)

This is the boys drumming on one of Jeremiah's presents... They've got some serious rhythm.

And Jeremiah holding up the elephant from his new "Where's My Tail?" game... So far he mostly only knows how to pull out the fur/hair from the tails (woops!), but he's close to being able to attach a tail to the velcro spot on a block.





And here's Jeremiah talking with "Dusty the Vacuum" (and himself) in the hallway mirror... I wish I knew what he thought about the scene he sees in the mirror! I think maybe he's thinking "Man, that's one cute baby! I wonder where he got that cool vacuum and where can I get me one?!?"

We didn't really do the whole "let's see what the baby does with the cake" deal, but we did enjoy a lovely gourmet lemon cake on his behalf. :)
