This is Our Life - week 3 {Terre Haute lifestyle photographer}

This is week 3 for the This is Our Life project and the theme is "this makes me wish I could freeze time."

There are lots of things that make me wish I could freeze time, especially right now with Jonah. He's my last baby, and he'll be two in just 4 short months, so I'm soaking up all the adorable little toddler moments I can. 

Even though he's growing up and learning new things every day, and starting to talk, he still loves his blankie.
I made him this blanket before he was born. I wanted one with a whale on it (I thought it was fitting for a boy named Jonah) and I couldn't find an affordable one that I liked so I decided to make one myself. Sounds easy enough, but I am NOT nearly as crafty as I would like to think. I can do wonders with a glue gun, but sewing is definitely not my thing. It seriously took me a week to get this thing right, which is ridiculous, as it's literally just two pieces of fabric sewn together with a whale shape sewed onto one corner. Anyway, I made him this blanket and he loves it.
He's not usually a thumb (or finger) sucker, unless he has his blankie. As soon as he grabs his blankie, no matter where he is, what's going on, or whether he's tired or not, he takes his first two fingers and sticks them in his mouth and holds on tight to his blankie with his other hand. It's the cutest thing ever, and it definitely makes me wish I could stop time for just a little while. Or bottle up that moment, so I can take it out and relive it when he's a moody teenager.
