31 days in the month and only 29 photos above. I’ll blame pregnancy. Fatigue. Haze. Sleeping. There’s less time to take photos when I’m sleeping an extra few hours a day, right?! Right?! Guess at the end of the 365 I’ll just have to tack on an extra couple days, or month, to make up for the loss.

Even still, I’m grateful that I’m thinking about it, that the camera (or iPhone) gets taken out, often, to capture our days. It is good, even if a few days go missing.

So much to capture these days, but much less time to grab the camera. Boy can that boy move! It’s hard to keep up and keep him out of trouble while I grab for the camera. I’m sure it’ll get even harder as he continues to speed up, but I look forward to trying to get his shenanigans documented. They sure are funny!

Here’s a few favorites from the month:

I couldn’t have said it better myself, though with a babe that doesn’t nurse all.night.long anymore, I’m starting to feel the fog of months of interrupted sleep lifting. Nine hours. It is glorious.

His first chocolate cookie and what an experience it was. Some shovel, he savored. Glad to know I have that kind of kid, even if I’m not that kind of adult.

When I’m dressing Ewan in the morning I always tell him about his pockets and how they are a good place for all of his treasures. This acorn, it is the first treasure I found as I emptied pockets to do laundry. I hope there are many more.

We’re already well into August, seriously, where does time go. As much as I am enjoying the summer, I’m also enjoying the fact that it is winding down. Easy to say as excessive heat warnings press down on us. I’m ready to stop sweating.
