This is "Cutie":

When Grandma was still in the hospital, a friend brought this little puppy to cheer her up but Jeremiah intercepted it and claimed it for himself. Grandma didn't mind. Jeremiah (for reasons unknown) named the dog "Cutie" and so began our life with little puppy in tow.

He never took to stuffed animals. He might play with them for a moment, but never stuck with one, not even the Curious George. But little Cutie goes to sleep with Jeremiah about half the time and often travels with us when we run errands or go to church. Cutie is loved and it's so sweet to see Jeremiah tending to him. But no, Cutie has not replaced his beloved "Ba-Ba"!

Another Cutie around here...

I love moments like this when he's all snuggled up with Daddy watching football and falls asleep. So Sweet!!!

Mommy Moment: Jeremiah slept in our bed one night and when Joshua woke up to nurse, I sat down on the bed next to Jeremiah. Joshua fussed a little and Jeremiah semi-woke and muttered "Mmmmm... I looooove Joshua!" with a big smile on his face. Then went back to sleep. *swoon*
