My girl. My sweet sassy girl. {St. Louis Children's Photographer}

My girl turned two recently. I don't know where the time went but I can tell you the past two years have been amazing. Watching my children grow has been the greatest blessing God has given me. I am 100% wrapped around their little fingers.

Madelyn is unlike other two year olds. Well, first off, she is the size of a 3-4 year old (height wise). She has also been going through the "terrible twos" since she was a year old. LOL! She also has a very extensive vocabulary and likes to talk a lot which I think she gets from yours truly :) I do love her so. She still calls herself baby. It reminds me of Dirty Dancing. "No one puts Baby in the corner". So I am wondering if we should break the nickname or if she should keep it. She antagonizes Connor to no end. She loves to brush her teeth. She would live outside if she could and her favorite person in the world is her Paw Paw.

The people that know Madelyn know that she is a character and a little trouble maker. But they also know that she is cuddly, loving and loves to be around people. The other night I was singing her bedtime songs and I asked her what she wanted me to sing next and she replied, "About Jesus". Talk about melt your heart. I love seeing kids at such a young age have the Lord in their hearts. She loves to pray to although most the time at dinner she giggles and look around the table as her hands are folded.

Happy Birthday Baby! I love you so!

P.S. her hair bows are from the very talented Lori Rehg of Little Diva's. You can catch her Saturday's at the Goshen Market in Edwardsville or you can also shop at her store at www.etsy.com. Just type in LoriRehg and her store will come up. The green flower bow Maddie is wearing is my favorite ever!!!!

She is my little hippie princess. I swear I gave birth to a child just like my sister. She loves rocks and anything earthy. Plus, as you can see in her eyes she is so free-spirited. Oh, I just can't wait for the teenage years (sarcastic tone)!

Holy Moly Amanda! She is SUCH a beautiful girl! I have tears in my eyes thinking about her newborn session. There is no way I can pick a favorite, but I can say that I love your props i.e the basket and the stroller, and I LOVE her outfits! I think you should be getting yourself the one of her running away in a canvas!
