I miss my baby

Well, in 2 days (October 1st) Jeremiah will officially be a year and half old! I can hardly believe it. He's a full-fledged toddler these days: getting into everything, talking with almost-real words, trying to feed himself, climbing jungle-gyms without any help (!)...and honestly, some days I really miss my little baby! So I was reminiscing through some old videos & thought you'd better see them too!

Here is Jeremiah almost crawling...he's about 7 months old, October 2006:

And here's what we like to call The Happy Dance... November 2006:

Sigh... a lot changes in a year. Here he is today (literally):

whatever you say, dude

I wish I had a dollar for every time I hear these words:

Momma: You're arguing again.
Jacob: No I'm not!

at home

Here are a couple (somewhat) recent pictures that are pretty fun...


Jacob with the artist-formerly-known-as sunglasses.


Jeremiah talking on the "phone" (or phones really).


Jacob returning from his first day at school... Jeremiah was obviously thrilled to see him.

trip to pa

In July we took a trip to Pittsburgh to meet up with friends from Nyack - Debbie & Mark (& their new baby, Bridgette), and Josh & Shereen. It was a blast. We went to the zoo, where Jacob & Daddy got trapped in a polar bear trap:

and, Jeremiah really liked the fishies:

We also got to make a quick stop in Erie to see Great-Gramma Bliss. Believe it or not, Gram actually out-talked Jacob! That's something that I had never seen before...and maybe never will again.

why can't i blog more often, you ask?

Let's take a quiz:

What is the REAL reason that Megan can't keep up with a little blogging to keep the friends and family up-to-date with the chickens?

A. hands too full of kleenexes (& wiping jeremiah's nose) to type anything
B. can't find the computer desk under all jacob's school papers
C. adjusting to the early morning lifestyle has befuddled us all
D. google has too many fun, distracting gadgets to play with
E. all of the above


Care to take a guess?
