Yes, Miss Avery turned two today! She is a bundle of personality- curious, dramatic, funny, adorable, lovable, and I'm so glad she's mine!!
I always do a photoshoot of the kids on their birthdays. Please indulge me as I show off my beautiful girl!
We had two different "photoshoots" today, thus the outfit change!
Playing on the new playground Daddy just finished building!
And although I got lots of nice, smiling photos, I also got my share of those like the one above. I thought this one was particularly funny, since she's standing by the sign that says, "I'm 2". Believe me, this child is already well into the Terrible Twos, with tantrums galore!
However, she also gave me some wonderful little jumping photos next to her sign. (Try as I might, I could not get her to hold the sign, so propping it next to her had to suffice!)
All in all though, some sweet photos of my sweet, sweet girl!
(pink dress is from TJMaxx, gray tutu from BabyGap, lavender tank from Walmart, and gray flower from Michael's dollar section)
And, as promised, here is the topsy-turvy doll I made for Avery's birthday. This is the sleeping side...
...and this is the awake side.
She turned out really cute, and the pattern wasn't too difficult to follow, unlike other vintage patterns I've used.
So far, Avery unfortunately hasn't shown much interest in her, but I can't say I expected otherwise. She just isn't a "babydoll" girl yet. Hopefully, she'll grow into it, and if not, I'm happy to keep the doll all to myself- ha ha!!
Hope everyone's having a good summer's end. I can't believe school starts next week- Riley's headed off to kindergarten, and I'm secretly freaking out- how did my baby get to be so big???

How cute is she...I loved two it was three that was a bother...Loving the topsy doll. Cannot tell you how many cute props I bought to make the shot and none of my kids would cooperate. Happy day! Smiles...Renee
All the photos are so beautiful! The doll turned out so well...LOVE.
We got my youngest her first doll around 2, and she showed little interest then. But now around 2.5 she plays with her all the time.
And I'm having a hard time with the kindergarten thing too. We can secretly freak out together. :)

Great photos Corey. I love the jumping ones with the little chalkboard sign - just gorgeous!
Oh and I forgot to say how much I love the dolly. She is beautiful - the perfect keepsake.
Indulge you! Ha! Indulge me! I adore these photos of your girl. They are really beautiful. A real inspiration. A happy birthday Miss A.
Also, the grey tutu outfit is beautiful. Sort of a take on the ombre trend. Love it.

love the tantrum shot... i've been snapping a lot of those of my 2 year old lately... dresses are gorgeous!
Honey, I'm so happy for you. You know why? Because I read your book and loved it. AND resonated with your desire for a daughter. Now you have one (so do I!), and she has the most amazing eyes. Wow! Congrats for making it to 2 years with your baby. You continue to be one of the artists who inspires me the most!

Adorable pictures! I love the 3rd one down. The doll is also adorable, I'm sure she'll love it when she gets a little bit older.
I adore those 2 year old pics, and the chalk board! Was it hard to get her to stay still at all. I had the hardest time during my little two-year old shoot! Lovely everything, as always!
So cute! I've been looking for a pattern for the s doll! Where can I find it? I had one just like that when I was a little girl!
Thanks, MU! I got the pattern off Ebay. Search under Topsy Turvy Doll Pattern.
I just love the Topsy/Turvey doll you made for your daughter. What caught my eye is the pattern. It looks like the same doll pattern that my mother-in-law used to make a (boy) doll w/quilt for my husband some 65 years ago. She stitched both the doll and quilt by hand. Do you have the pattern info so I know which pattern to get from eBay? Thanks so much.
Hi Joyce, I just searched ebay and it's under "Vintage Awake & Asleep Baby Doll Pattern ~ Topsy Turvy Upside Down" Hope that helps!
