You can't always be a happy baby.

The hand emerges to wave

We might have a celebrity on our hands! Even with his arms wrapped tightly in a burrito blanket roll, Jeremiah's hand still emerges to wave hello to his fans/team of supporters!

In the hospital after respirator removed

Jer was moving his legs before I took the video, but as you see, he isn't interested to do so on camera. I think he tuckered himself out and chooses to sleep instead! Oct 30th, 2008
