Kaiya's Two Year Photos!

We were SO good about getting lots of professional pictures taken during Kaiya's first year, but life circumstances kept us from getting many great shots after her first birthday. I HAD to change this for her second birthday, and luckily I work with a wonderfully talented woman who dabbles in photography as a "hobby" (one she's very very good at I might add!). Kaiya herself was only marginally cooperative, but it was cold, and she was teething pretty hardcore, so the fact that she captured so many great ones is a pure miracle:) Here's the result!

Happy 2nd Birthday Kaiya!!

My baby turned two. TWO!! How on earth has the past two years flown by so FAST! Look how BIG she is!!

This year her birthday fell on Easter weekend AND her cousins Siana, Naiya, and Xela were visiting, so you'd think that it would be an epic celebration, but things we weren't that lucky, and this poor girl was sick the entire weekend. 

It didn't stop us from enjoying some Easter Egg Hunt fun in Mount Juliet with the family though!

 

Though her party was, unfortunately, cancelled, we did host a little Easter brunch at our house so that she could squeeze as much family time with out cousins out of the weekend as possible. It was a blast!!

How miserable does this sweet girl look?

 

Kaiya LOVED her time with Siana

 But the festivities didn't end there! A lovely trip to the Aquariam restaurant was the perfect end to an almost perfect weekend (minus the sick Birthday Girl of course).

 

 

While I'm not thrilled with the realization that our baby is quickly developing into her very own person, I feel so very blessed to be able to watch and enjoy the transition <3. Here's to another awesome year!
