This little boy is a charmer! He has a smile that will totally melt you and eyes that cut deep. He is a beautiful boy.
We were first told that Jeremiah was 6 months old when we brought him into our home. At the time he was wearing 3 month clothes. Upon further research, we recently realized that his true age at the time he came to HOH was 14 months!! He was over a year old, wearing 3 month size clothes! We even celebrated his birthday in February thinking that he was just turning one year old. He started walking on the day of his first birthday party. He seemed to be right on target, though a small little man.
Once Jeremiah started walking, he really took off! He went from taking his first steps, about 3 or 4 steps one day, to walking across the room (literally!) just 2 days later. He was running within 2 weeks. And he has never slowed down.
Once Jeremiah started talking, he has also progressed quickly with saying real words and speaking complete thoughts. Today, as I took him down to look at the pumpkins in the garden he said, "Mama, tunaenda. Nagopa" - (Mama, we go. I am afraid.) Yep, he doesn't really like new experiences. I need to be taking him out more often! He is becoming quite a talker!
So, our little boy, who thought just turned one, is in fact about to be two years old! That explains the molars on top and the new ones coming in on the bottom!
There is something that you could pray about for Jeremiah. Since the day we got him, he has had some serious anger issues. As he has gotten older those issues just present themselves differently. Although he has overcome so many things, he still has trouble containing his anger when things don't go his way. We have tried many things and are continuing to work with him and teach him through this. He is such a sweet little boy. It is evident to me that the things that occur in a baby's life in its very beginning have lasting effects on their little lives.
