Something about this week has encouraged me to really stop and soak up and remember every ounce of Harlow.
Perhaps it’s the holiday season.
Perhaps it’s my own desire to slow down–manage my time and priorities a bit better.
Perhaps it was this week’s episode of Parenthood–
Whatever it is, I have to say: I absolutely adore this 18 month-ish stage.
Something about her eyes: the excitement, the adventure.
There is something about her right now, that I want to bottle up and store for the hard days.
Store it for the arguments I know we’ll have someday.
Store it for the days she tells me she’s too big to cuddle.
I know I’ll love each age and season differently–and probably more as they come–but I never want to forget these precious times.
And I never want her to doubt how much I enjoyed them.
But pausing time is impossible to do, so I’m storing it in photos and videos and most of all, memories.

so excited for you and all you have simmering under the surface. And you know Harlow is already a heart-melter!
I know!! I know it only gets better :) xoxo
Oh my goodness, is she precious! I would want to bottle that up too!!! Not having kids yet, I often recall precious moments I shared with my momma and treasure them now that she’s no longer living.
Thanks so much for including Jessica’s post on my blog this week. I adore those wooden prints!
Absolutely! It was an honor to be included!
Sigh.
Your 18 month(ish) sweet girl is always better dressed than I am. Sure this is sad on many levels?
oh Heather – I have had the same sweater on for the past three days. She is ALWAYS better dressed than I am, too!!
