Monkey just celebrated her second birthday, and last week we finally had warm enough weather for some 2 year old portraits.  I decided to try again for an elusive portrait of the two girls together where one of them isn't squirming or making a silly face, and guess what...I got it!  Well, close enough anyway.  Monkey is about to grow out of this white dress, so I only had one shot.  The best part was that we had a wonderful time.  We did most of the shoot with just the three of us.  The man joined us after work for a picnic on the lawn, and we headed out for ice cream after as a reward for the girls (hey, if it takes bribery to get a great shot, I'm all for it).  

Here's my big girl.  I can't believe she's 2!

If you need to get small children to sit still, find a dandelion.

Picture
This is why we call her monkey.  This girl climbs everything!
Picture
The best smile of the evening.  This is when she saw her daddy arrive.  He gets all the best smiles.
Picture
Another smile for daddy.
Picture
Oh how I love to watch toddlers run.  Their bodies just wiggle with excitement.  Monkey pumps just one arm when she runs.   The faster she goes, the faster it pumps.  I love it!
Picture
Costume change.  Check out the sparkle shoes.  Totally impractical, but she loves them.  She's my little fashion bug.
Picture
More dandelions.

Picture
We found this flower on the lawn (already picked by someone else).  It kept her busy for awhile.

Picture
And because I can't resist getting pictures of my first born, a few of Bug.  Isn't she gorgeous?!  Seriously, she takes my breath away sometimes!
Picture
Picture
Also a big fan of dandelions!  I love this picture!
Picture
Bug is a little blurry, but I love the shot of the dandelion as she's blowing it.
Picture
This photo wasn't posed.  As we ran out of dandelions for them to blow, the girls decided to share.  Ah, I love it when they get along!  This one is going on my wall.
Picture
And finally, my favorite shots of the girls together.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Saving the best for last.  This one is going on the wall as well.  It's a perfect depiction of their personalities.  Bug is my serious one.  Monkey is my silly one.  So alike in looks, so different in personality.  By the way, am I a lucky mom, or what!

I can't believe that even Monkey's hair is now going blonde. It was sooo dark for so long! I do see what you mean about a few of our crazy climber's expressions looking like your monkey's. Dandelions are magic for us as well :D I hope to see you guys in Michigan at the end of June!
