6 Months

Posted in Baby Lowe, Family, Physical Growth at 7:55 am by Desirée

Jeremiah is now, officially, 1/2 year old. He’s such a happy baby! I love how he smiles with his whole face and shakes with excitement when he sees either Jeff or me.

We had our 6 month well visit this week and Dr. Greg said he’s perfectly healthy. We’re grateful for that.

We kicked off Month #6 with our first foray into teething. Right before leaving for vacation of June 1, I noticed a little bitty tooth trying to burst through his lower gum. He had been drooly for several weeks and cranky for just a few days.

He’s also learned that he can get to something if he rolls…over and over and over again.

We’ve started baby food meats and Level 2 baby foods.

Jeremiah has mastered raspberries…and I don’t mean fruit. As I type this, he’s blowing spit all over himself . I guess he has to do something with all that extra saliva from teething. It’s ok until he has a mouth of cereal.

We also love to stand in front of mirrors, make faces, and laugh. It’s a new favorite.

He’s being a little stubborn and refusing to sit up by himself yet, but he does like to stand in his exersaucer. He’ll sit with support, so that’s encouraging.

We went on vacation last week and Jeremiah did great in the car. He didn’t sleep very well in his pack and play, but I’m convinced that’s partly because of his tooth and the extra sleep in the car while driving.

5 Months

Jeremiah seemed to grow a lot during Month Five. Maybe it’s because he was with Nana Carol all day and I really noticed him changing everyday. He loves spending time at her house and especially with Ethan. He finally mastered the rolling over thing, after teasing us for weeks. He can go back to front and front to back. Daddy swears he’s my son because he definitely prefers sleeping on his belly. Jeremiah didn’t see Dr. Greg this month, so we are unsure of his stats. I did weigh him with a luggage scale (safely) and he weighed 16.6 lbs. His favorite book to hear is Chicka Chicka ABC and he loves listening to Momma sing to him.

Jeremiah has also starting eating more and more solids. He hasn’t met a fruit he doesn’t like and his favorite veggies are peas, sweet potatoes, and carrots.

He loves sitting in his exersaucer and watching The Cat in the Hat on PBS Kids.

Being outside in another favorite thing to do.

Here are Jeremiah’s comparison shots. He’s such a turkey!!

Of course, we have to end with a funny. Here’s Daddy trying to wrangle the baby and the monkey…or should I say the two monkeys. (Notice his glasses in his right hand. I’m sure they were removed by one of the monkeys.

Three Years of Marriage

Posted in Family, Marriage at 8:53 am by Desirée

Today marks our three year anniversary of marriage.

I am so grateful to God for Jeff Lowe.

He’s loving, attentive, sweet, and strong.

He provides for our family and manages, faithfully, what the Lord has given us.

He loves his son and is committed to raise him to love and serve God.

He is VERY active in taking care of Jeremiah…even the dirty, stinky parts.

I couldn’t have dreamed up a better story of God’s provision for a mate.

I <<heart>> you, Jeff Lowe.

Eating Cereal

This is a quick video that we shot feeding Jeremiah cereal for the second time. We love how he talks right before he goes to eating (although in this one, it’s more of a fussiness). I didn’t think to video the first one. Enjoy!

Four Months Old

Posted in Family, Physical Growth at 5:40 pm by Desirée

Lots of “firsts” have already happened and Jeremiah is barely four months old.

First #1 Momma went back to work Monday March 28. We’ll talk about that later.

First #2 Jeremiah can roll from his back to his stomach. We were at his four month well visit last Friday and while we were talking with Dr. Greg, Jeremiah kept squirming all around on the examining table. Finally after several small thrusts, he begin to roll. We, jokingly, said, “look at that turkey. He’s going to roll over for the first time at the doctor!” We kept encouraging and laughing…and that turkey rolled over!!! I’m talking all the way with his arm all the way out from under himself!!

First #3 Eating cereal. Jeremiah had his first cereal this past weekend.
