    I totally borrowed this concept to use with my two toddlers a few weeks ago and called it “Mine, hers, & his” (http://www.lifeoutloud.kelseymcevoy.com/2014/07/currently-mine-hers-his/) — so thank you for the inspiration!
    Shredded cheese must be a small kiddo thing because both of my toddlers LOVE it, too! And all three of my kiddos get such a kick out of watching videos of themselves (and each other) as babies on the iPad.
    These posts are so, so fun and will be such a great treasure down the road.

    I absolutely love this concept for a post. Also, my Bea has that same Circo shirt (and another in black and white which would make her look like she belongs in prison if it weren’t for the pink flower).

    This is the sweetest thing. I showed it to my boyfriend and said ‘We should do this when we have kids!’ He smiled (he’s a keeper). Your needles are cute – as a compulsive knitter, I have to ask, what are they?!

    I love this little update! Also, I am very much addicted and loving Sherlock. I already went through all three seasons, but I will gladly watch re-runs because it is such a beautiful show.

    Very cute blog series – love it! So my boy is 16 months and he totally loves videos of himself. It’s amazing how it can stop him in his tracks, even if he’s throwing a tantrum!

    Elise, your daughter is the cutest little kiddo. For sure.
    Thank you for having Cathy in your podcast, you two are inspirational personalities. And thank you for being true to yourself in what you do!
    Have you ever thought about writing a post about how your approach to memory keeping and your passion for scrapbooking have changed in the last year or so? 🙂
    Anyways this post and the podcast were great!

    Hehe, I had to giggle about Ellerie watching a video of herself. My son loves watching videos of himself, too. I showed him a bunch from when he was a baby to help prepare him for having a baby sister.

    This is so cool, I love this idea, I’ve done a few interviews before on my kids’ birthdays to keep tracks of their likes, dislikes, interests but I never thought of including myself in the picture.
