Today, I am honored to link up with two of my favorite bloggers; Galit Breen of These Little Waves and Alison of Mama Wants This. I have been so inspired by both of these talented writers and am thrilled that they are holding a link up for Memories Captured. This genius idea encourages you to capture a moment with words and photos. I love this project, and found the task of finding a beautiful picture of my son and reflecting on it to be fun and challenging. I was so enthralled with this idea, that I could not decide between two of my most favorite recent pictures. I decided to include both. I’m not sure if I was able to capture his essence with these photos and words, but it allowed me to reflect on him and who he is right now, at this precious age of two-and-a-half.
Elated Exhaustion 
Total cuteness! I love the bubble shot. Perfect quote to go with it!
Thank you!
Great quote for the first photo, everything is so amazing and full of wonder at this age. What a cutie pie you have.
Thank you so much! I do love the awe and wonder of this age (and the cuteness!) The temper tantrums? Not my favorite. đŸ™‚
Those eyes, oh those eyes! What a big boy and handsome. I love (and hate) the Independence of this age. Learning to let go a little but still loving the cuddles. My granddaughter is 2-1/2 as well, so this definitely brought her to mind.
Thank you so much!! Yes, this age is so hard (but so adorable!)
Great photo.
My daughter loves to water (drown) our flowers too!
Thank you so much! These poor toddler-attended flowers! But the toddlers love it!
He is SO adorable! Those eyes are captivating!
Thank you so much!! Ohhh, captivating is such a good descriptor. I will have to keep that one in mind. đŸ™‚
The tie the tie the tie!!!! I cannot get enough of such adorableness.
Also, let us hope he uses the watering can to water flowers.
Mine does not.
Hehehe, I love the tie too. And at least the lack of watering can keeps your life entertaining right? đŸ™‚
That tie is perfection! I love being able to swoon over everyone’s photos!
Thank you so much! Yes, I am loving this sweet idea!
Ohmyheart, yes. I think you captured his (and your) essence perfectly.
So very beautifully done!
Thank you so much! I love Memories Captured. Thank you so much for this sweet idea.
this made me smile so much. đŸ™‚
when i ask my girl if she’s my big girl or baby, she always replies, “I a baby.” and i eat it up. she is my baby. always and forever. đŸ™‚
Yes! Absolutely they will always be our babies. I love that she still tells you she’s a baby! How sweet!
That tie?
Is adorable.
But I’m certain that he’d rock anything he was dressed in. What a cutie.
Hehe, thank you so much! I am loving this tie on him too. đŸ™‚
ADORABLE, and I think the text you added is perfect! (Love the “choc-it-mik!”)
Thank you so much!!! You have made my day! đŸ™‚
What a cutie! Two great pictures. I love it how they always want to be “big kids” đŸ˜‰
Aw thank you! Yes, the “big boy” thing is huge here. But I still think he’s my baby. đŸ™‚
Aw, love it! Especially his quote.
Thank you for linking up with us!
Thank you so much for the Memories Captured link up! I love this idea!
