she is 2

it's hard to believe. my baby is TWO! how did that happen? i'm not sure. but i am sure that she is rock steady. a true joy. a good pal. and a vibrant soul who i am honored to know. she's my sweet girl and we were so delighted to have a birthday celebration for her last weekend.

here she is in her new cowgirl boots! she looooooves footwear. and ice cream cones and chocolate chips. these are her passions. that's m'girl. i made her this little shirt to wear on her special day.

her cake. combining 2 of her favorite things seemed like a total no-brainer. she loved it, so that always makes a mama happy!

we made her a book of photos detailing her second year. becoming a tradition now. although this year we added a caterpillar on every page. she has to find him. it's fun to see her search him out. "dare e is! on mommy's head! silly cat-a-pillar!"

her brother shows off her new dress.

snuggying up to her new kitty.

it's such fun to celebrate with little ones. to make them smile is just the best thing.
