Spiderboy nets a bed



Since Jeremy is two we decided that it was way past time for him to go into a bed...
We have been planning on giving him a spidey room, since he loves spiderman so much, but I was unable to find a spiderman bed at Sears anymore....but fortunately E-bay had one, and within 7 days, it was shipped to our house....
Kendal put it together the same day, the intent being that we would leave it up for Jeremy to get used to, as he loved his crib so much we really thought it was going to be a battle to move him into a bed...



I should have known better....
kendal put the bed together, and as soon as it was done? Spidey boy climbed into it with his bottle, and refused to leave for anything.
Not even for his story....Wow!
and there he stayed.
He LOVES it...
(He even kissed spiderman...)




And the boy who doesn't sleep through the night did....
and has every night since except for once!
(which is nice since Gracie sleeps through the night now...)






...and as for the weaning from the bottle thing?
Well...he has kind of pushed that issue by biting the top off of two of his bottles....
and since I won't be buying him anymore...
he is hastening his own move from bottle to cup...

We are going to do a lot of growing up this month....

In other baby news....
Jeremy and Gracie both just had their shots yesterday...
Jeremy is doing awesome and has moved up the growth chart from the 10th percentile
up to the 50th...
although he is still smaller then most boys his age..


Gracie's growth has slowed down...
Well...sort of.
Her height is still 50th percentile...(it was 90th)
but her weight has fallen to the 25th percentile...

They are both doing great in other words..

and now I am going to cuddle under the biggest blanket I can find...
It is -38 outside...

ok...I just checked...make that -40.....

Happy Birthday Jeremy!!!!



It is hard to believe that two years have gone by so fast....
When we first decided to have Jeremy, we were still questioning how sane we were,
considering that we had teens who were all going to be out of the house in a couple of years...
We were almost home free!



But we really felt that we were supposed to have him,
and so thirteen months later, we greeted our special little bundle of joy,
A boy. Something we hadn't experienced before,
With trepidation, and uncertainty..
we stepped out into uncertain territory...


The face of danger....

We are so glad we did it.
It was the best decision we could have made for us, and he has added so much joy to our family, along with little sister Gracie who arrived Oct. 22.





I know many people think we are crazy to start a second family,



Happy 1st b-day!

but I feel blessed...and he is such a great guy!



So Happy Birthday Jeremy,
Thank you for being you, and making mommy and daddy's life so much richer....



I can't even imagine our lives without you...
