Spring is here... maybe

Well, the weather has finally warmed up here in Iowa! Woohoooo! Last week we were above 40 degrees all week, and most of our snow is gone (which honestly is pretty remarkable, since we had some HUGE drifts around here). Next week we are supposed to reach almost 60 degrees and the sun will be shining! Last week we had mostly rain, fog, and dreariness. Well, I guess that's enough about the weather (I am starting to sound like my dad!). But, since the weather warmed up a bit, we ventured out for our first walk around the neigborhood. We bundled Jeremiah up, of course (Look Grandma Wiers! He still has plenty of room in that outfit! And Grandpa Wiers, he doesn't look the least bit embarrassed about the ears, does he?):



Jeremiah screamed when we put him in his carseat (however, I think that has less to do with the seat and more to do with the hat-- not a huge fan of hats). But he quickly settled down and enjoyed the ride. I am looking forward to getting him out in the stroller again often next week! Also, FYI I celebrated Jeremiah's 3 week bithday by venturing out by myself with him. We went to the post office, the card and party outlet store, and Starbucks all within 30 minutes. It went pretty well! He cried a few times, but also spent time looking out the window and pondering life.

We are a little tired over here-- Jeremiah likes to eat every 3 hours pretty much like clockwork. I am finding that it's not THAT fun to sleep in 2 hour blocks, but since Jeremiah is so darn cute, we'll keep at it. Here's a picture of the boys and Molly catching some zzzzz's in the afternoon:



Jeremiah spends lots of time in the morning being awake and happy (at least I think he's happy.... haven't seen a smile yet to confirm the happiness). And that's when he tries to do most of his talking. Later on in the afternoon he becomes the strong, silent type (and he sleeps a lot). I uploaded a video to youtube and I'll add the link so you can see wide awake Jeremiah (I am still struggling with how to get the video to upload on the blog... any helpful ideas out there???). Hopefully the link works (but I won't hold my breath... I'm not so good on the old 'puter).
