Our sweet boy. This journey he's taken us on in his short 21 months of life has been the ultimate adventure. Life is that much brighter with him in it. The day we left the hospital. Maternity leave love <3 p=""> Just another dessert on the Easter table...  The strongest bond <3 p=""> Asleep. Those eyes. Monthly photo.  First trip to the beach. SUPER SOUL! Homemade Halloween costume. Picking out his first pumpkin. Dress up at daycare! Morning love. Christmas card photo. 8 months! Swings with Dada. Admiring Dada's drums! 4th of July BBQ.  Climbing. Family photo op.  Yogurt lips at the park. Tubby time. He loves the grocery store, it's a huge snack bar! Froggie towel. Snack time. First time digging into the sand, family vacation at the beach. Washing the sand off his toes. Picking out his pumpkin. I blinked and this happened.

We made proper use of the time unplugged, like you know, arranging flowers (in our sippy cup, below), reading books, snuggling while singing songs and counting, and of course playing with FLASHLIGHTS. In the end, the power was back on by 10pm - the perfect amount of time to keep this experience in the 'fun' category. However, it did cut into my #bunfriday plans. I was unable to do my regular shower and hair-prep routine to make sure my hair
