Second Birthday

Looks, Mama

August 22, 2016

We celebrated Harper’s second birthday this weekend. My baby girl is 2 years old. Seems almost impossible.

For her 1st birthday, we went all out. We invited 40 friends and family to our house. We hired a caterer and face painter. We had professional photos taken. I spent hours upon hours making a movie documenting the cutest and most adorable moments of her first year. There was an insanely cute and embarrassingly giant cake that could feed our entire city.

This year was different. No party. No fancy food. No painted faces. Just our sweet little family, watching butterflies and trains at the Botanic Garden, all while dodging rain drops. It was perfect.

I’ve been living in these sandals all summer. (How did I not already have a pair stored away from the 90’s??) They are beyond comfortable and FLORAL. If you haven’t, check out all the updated colors. Metallic Birks? Yes, please.

This tee is one of my favorite purchases from the Nordstrom Sale. It fits perfectly (even over my little bump) and is still on sale for less than $15! I scooped up 3 different colors because when you find something you love, you stock up. 😉

We received Harper’s adorable personalized Converse as a gift when she was born, and I’m so happy they finally fit! I’ve linked some toddler Converse below, but if you want to personalize a pair, click here. Such a perfect gift idea.

Here’s to a wonderful week ahead. If you need us, we’ll be over here exploring this big world through the eyes of a curious, independent 2 year old.

    We kept things simple for y son’s 2nd birthday as well. It is so much easier to not have a huge party every year. haha Happy Birthday, Harper!

    I honestly think the close, intimate parties with just family are the way to go! I think kids really enjoy them so much more. Happy Birthday to your sweet girl! 🙂

    Happy 2nd birthday to your little one! Two is such a fun age, I miss my daughters being 2, 3, and 4. Today they are 11 and 9. Enjoy tons of hugs and kisses!

  11. Melissa says:

    Great pictures. Looks like a wonderful birthday. I love pocket tees!

  12. Happy Birthday, Harper! I love her pink converse! We went all out for our eldest son’s 1st birthday and it was soooo stressful! We did a much more low key celebration the second time around. Now that our youngest’s birthday is right around the corner, I think I’m going to stick with the low key party theme.

  13. Ah she is SOO cute!! What a fun day. Happy birthday to Harper! 🙂

  14. Amanda says:
