If you follow me closely, you would know that it was recently my daughter’s 2nd birthday. I’ve been down memory lane a billion times the past week (and month leading up to it) and am just so grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to be a mom to this little lady!

Some things I love about Ava right now:

  1. She loves to say “OOOOH YEAAHHHH” all of the time. Don’t get be wrong, she still says “no” to the majority of things but this little phrase of hers is my favorite!
  2. Her love of all things Moana and Frozen. Yes, we have finally entered the era of parenting when everything is “Elssssa” this…and “Moana” that….but I’m here for it. I absolutely love it.
  3. Her little camping chair. Our nice neighbors dropped of a camping chair for her a couple of months ago and she recently has discovered it. She drags it all around our house and wants to sit wherever I am. It’s so stinkin cute.

I could go on and on about how much I love her and all the things I love about her but mostly I just want to say that I am so grateful that I have a built in best friend and buddy. I feel like each day gets more fun, especially now that it’s the holidays!

A few days before her birthday I blocked out one of my afternoons so that we could get some cute shots of her. I picked up her outfit from Old Navy and just couldn’t resist the denim skirt, velvet top, and furry vest 😍 Here are some of my favorite images from our shoot!
