My little baby boy is now a big 19-month-old! Time sure flies… I wish I could freeze him like this for a while. He is still so sweet and cuddly, but he’s also independent and full of curiosity!

I’ve been working on a big sewing project for Jax. I’m making him a Quiet Book to bring on his first plane ride out to California in November. It’s a huge undertaking, so I’m trying to get two pages done per week. Lots of drawing, cutting and hand-sewing, but I hope this activity book with become a family heirloom for him.

I’ve been busy, busy, busy on our family blog! Check it out:

• We are so ready for autumn!
• Jax loves books! We set up a reading corner.
• We talked some more about nursing a toddler.
• I shared a beloved childhood photo.
• I’m learning to take better photos (see the photo above!)
