On July 17th, my little girl turned two! It's hard to believe that two years ago we were celebrating her arrival into this world. She has changed so much since then. In the last year she's transformed from baby to little girl. Nothing shows that transformation more eloquently than the pictures that we took of her over the last year.

24 monthsI am truly lucky to have such a wonderful little girl. In my eyes, she is clever, beautiful, smart, sassy, determined and inquisitive. She reminds me everyday of the incredible joy that she can find in the smallest of things. After 2 years, I am no less in awe of the beauty, drama and miracle that is human development. And no less excited as I watch her grow more and more into who she is going to be.
I love you baby girl. You have brought so much to my life. And everyday you teach me to appreciate the little things, the happy moments that we live in. I can't wait to see what the next year will bring, and to find out what else you will teach me.
Happy (Belated) Birthday, Z!

Happy 2. Birthday. My Miss T loves to sing, Happy to you..
Both have turned in little ladies. Now onto the next stage. I am looking forward having her home with me for another year. Dreading next year when she starts nursery school.
Happy birthday, beautiful girl! You are growing up well.
I can't believe she's 2 already! She's an adorable little girl.
Congratulations to Miss Z, you, and John on a wonderful second birthday. Children really do change everything, don't they? Keep enjoying it! Thanks for sharing the photos. Miss Z is beautiful.
Happy Birthday, Z, and congratulations, Mama--your girl's adorable. Thanks for the photos!
Happy Birthday to both of you!!! It really is astonishing how fast the time goes, especially when you're with them every day. Miracle is right!
Happy birthday. What wonderful photos. It's fun watching the changes a year makes. She is a beautiful little girl.
She's absolutely gorgeous (and you are too Mom! - love the shawl!). It's been fun hearing about her and your journey into the mother 'hood.
What an enchanting little lady! You and John are blessed.
Your baby girl is just beautiful! You will come to rely on her more and more as she grows. I came to depend on mine and she is now 34 years old and is one of my greatest accomplishments! Happy happy birthday to Ms. Z.
I love the photos, its so interesting to see the changes. She is really pretty. Happy 2nd Z.
Z is a gorgeous little girl. I love how expressive she is, and I can only imagine that she is even more expressive than the photos show.
Such an adorable little girl. I've ready your blog long before the baby and I have seen how she has blessed your life. Happy Birthday little Z.
That time sure went quickly! Happy Birthday to Z and her momma who did all the work that day.
Looking at Girl Z, no baby now, she has definitely grown and is no longer a baby. Happy Belated Birthday!
Oh! Ms. Z and I almost share a birthday, and I'm way way behind in wishing her a happy 2!!!! You look so radiant in that photo with her. Motherhood becomes you. :)
