Elliott’s birthday marked the end of a really incredible and beautiful summer. The weather has been hot and sunny nearly daily since May (unheard of around here) and I look back over the last few months and know that we took advantage of it!

Enough so that I have to keep a close eye on items on the floor, like paper wrappers Elliott has left behind, or the diaper wipes container, because Nora loves choke-able paper and plastic like you wouldn’t believe. This is . . . → Read More: Nora month-by-month: #8 Half a year, friends! I am doing my best to savor this baby year. I know now how fleeting it is.
