Back to the grind - and loving it!

With Katharine and I both going back to school, we have had a hectic beginning to August. Thankfully, there is still time for all the important things in life.

Quinlan reading with his Mom (the cuddle was included for free).

We received some large boxes in the mail.
Q was very happy and still plays in them.
Note for future self - save the money, buy the box.

Not only do the boxes make good houses, but they can be danced in, too!

An awesome summer treat: the ice cream sandwich.
It took Q a minute or two to realize that this was a really good thing, but once he figured it out, he was totally into the treat.

A friend knitted Q a new blanket. He was thrilled to have it, and carries it around and cuddles it every chance he gets. I love his very proud pose here.

Our little boy grows bigger every day. He flips and flops at night, and though he generally sleeps very well, he often gets into a position where something hangs outside of the bed. It is very funny, and since he doesn't seem to care, I don't feel bad laughing.

We are taking him to his 18 month check-up this week. One and a half years. It seems like all of the things we have experienced couldn't possibly have happened in only 18 months, but they did. We look forward to the next days, weeks, months, and years as he shows us his personality and learns more each day.
