Today Jackson is 17 months and I just can't believe it! Time feels so slow in some ways and then vanishes so quickly in others. We are loving this season with our boy - he is so fun and his personality so vibrant! He absolutely LOVES people and he cracks us up! I find myself laughing regularly at his crazy antics.
The other day when I got him up, this is what I found:
Talk about bedhead! I still find myself laughing when I see it!
I also wanted to take the time to thank a couple amazing people who have given us incredible gifts. Gifts, not only thoughtful, but unbelievably personal and creative! These people are seriously talented!
First, I want to thank Vanessa of Beloved Jane - an incredibly talented artist and friend! She made me this gorgeous sterling silver necklace stamped with the following:
I can't even tell you how much I adore this necklace! Vanessa, I am amazed by the heart and creativity of your work. Thank you for giving me such a priceless gift. You can also find her here.
And it doesn't end there! Awhile back, I was reading my friend Emery's blog - this post to be exact. While reading I noticed an adorable blanket given to her sweet boy Myer. I loved it! So I looked up the company that made it - Admiral Road. I felt inspired by their sweet and creative designs and so I emailed them to let them know. A few weeks later I received this in the mail:
Admiral Road read our story and were touched by it and put a personalized blanket in the mail for Jackson. And it couldn't have been a more perfect choice! Jackson's favorite stuffed animal is his Curious George (he sleeps with it every night) and he absolutely ADORES monkeys! I put it up on his wall over his crib for now as he loves to look at it... What a beautiful, thoughtful gift. This blanket will be treasured for years to come.
I am constantly amazed by the generosity and grace displayed by people I come across. You inspire me. You move me. You overwhelm me. I want to be more like you.
