Blocks.

I walked into the living room & Q was doing something that I'd never seen him do before - just stacking blocks on top of each other (& then knocking them down immediately, of course). He's 20 months old, & while maybe he "should have" been doing this months ago, I don't really believe in should have's. Besides, this was the first time that I saw him actively doing it, & it was sweet & simple. I was proud. He loves his blocks, & is always turning them over & over in his hands & asking What's that?! with every letter, number & picture.

One of his favorite new pastimes: Spinning.


He looks 14.

Ah, love the video. The spinning is adorable.

Where did you find that great jar? I would love to do the same for our blocks/toys. Such a great idea for playing.

Also, the green pillow on your sofa, such a great fabric. I used it for a client in her boy's room and it turned out beautifully. Such a nice weight/feel.

xo my dear.

I never get bored watching kids this age play on their own. They are so interested and curious. The video is precious. I love the noise he makes with every push of the blocks.

I also love this video...and Quinn...he is so adorable! You do such a great job of capturing the little precious parts of being a little man! I'd also like to know where that jar came from...

I love your videos Kathryn. Such a sweet moment to remember! Love when they do new things, no matter what age.

Jill / Judy - the jar is from Pottery Barn, but I picked it up when we first got married (7 years ago!), so I have no idea if they have it any more. :/

well, we've watched this six times as we've eaten our dinner tonight. and i'm getting lots of questions:

-when's quinn coming to visit?
-can quinn talk now?
-did quinn get a kitchen?
-did quinn get his kitchen for christmas?
-why is he spinning so fast?
-kaffin!

this is so sweet, k; and his little jabbering makes him sound so much older. we're way overdue for a quinn fix... more, more!
