I’m not going to even say it. My baby. She is the biggest joy of my life, and for only one more month can I say she’s one. Just one. I don’t know what it is about saying your child’s age by the months (Only moms to littles get it. Maybe it’s because we’re trying to hold on to forever?), but I think at 2, that jig is up, am I right? So right now, she’s 22 months old. Friday she’ll be 23 months, and then it’s all downhill from there. I’ll be planning her college farewell party soon, I’m sure.
I’m going to skip the letter thing I’ve been doing the last few monthly updates, because I would be a hot mess express right now if I tried. I’ll save that for the big 2. Theatrics I do not lack. And I wonder where she gets it from.
She’s also doing pretty much all of these things still, but little lady has become quite bossy. Yes, Beyonce. Bossy. Because she is the boss.
I’m just going to throw a ton of my favorite pictures of her lately onto your screen to marvel at just how much this Little Miss Sassy Pants is growing.
Every month keeps getting better, and I always say, “No, this month is my favorite.” It’s true. My cup runneth over. Even if tantrums are involved. ;) Happy last month to be one, little love! You’re amazing, and I couldn’t be prouder to be your mama. It’s always the little things.
Don’t miss a thing. Follow along on…

Odette will be 20 months old tomorrow and I still can’t believe it! I wish I could just freeze time because it’s not being kind and doesn’t want to slow down for me. Love all the pics, she’s such a cutie!!

Eeek! Isn’t it crazy? Time used to go by like molasses when I was single. Now it can’t go slow enough! It’s amazing to watch this little miracle grow before my eyes. Best thing ever. Thanks for the sweet words, Kelly! :) And happy growing to your little O!
Daisy @ Simplicity Relished says
Oh my!!!!! Love these photos as usual. I can’t believe she’s going to be 2!! Thanks for sharing about this Kristy!
Kristy says
Thanks, Daisy! I can’t believe it either. She is such a sweet soul, and I’m happy to share her cheer. :)
Rebecca @ Hello Creative Blog says
I just love seeing these photos! I also love hearing your take on motherhood and watching her grow up. It’s the sweetest!
Kristy says
Thanks, Rebecca! That is so sweet of you to say. I think it’s so fun to see and hear other mom’s perspective of motherhood, too. I’m so glad that, even though I’m a stay-at-home mom, I have my blogging buddies (co-workers) to chat about our life.
Hope you’re having a great week!
Alycia says
So sweet!!! Didn’t the past 2 years go by so fast?!? Palmer turns 2 next week and I can’t even believe it!
Kristy says
Yes! Really, I feel like once I had Charlotte, time just started ticking away in overtime. But it is the sweetest to watch them grow. :)
Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says
So sweet. It was so hard when my daughter turned 2 as well. The days just keep flying by. Last night we cuddled in her room before bed for a long time. I love those times with her. Ok, now I’m going to cry.
Kristy says
Aww, now I’m going to cry! Lol. This morning we were at one of her little music classes, and they turned the lights off for wind-down, and as she was rocking her little puppy dog (because that’s what they do for wind-down, rock stuffed animals), all I could see was her tiny silhouette swaying with her little lovie and tears started to form! Ha! Clearly, I am sentimental. Glad we can cry together. :)
Tawnya Faust says
She so is a two year old!! Getting so big! Isn’t it awesome watching them grow! :) wish I were there yo celebrate her big day with you guys! Xoxox
Kristy says
She is! I can’t stand it. But yes, it’s so awesome. She’s my beautiful little soul who makes this life worth living.
I wish you were closer, too! But you already knew that. ;)
Meg O. says
2 is such a big big birthday. She is getting so big!
Kristy says
I know, Meg! I guess I should start planning a party. Lol. Aren’t girls the sweetest, too? Hope you’re doing well, girlfriend! Miss you guys!

Sarita G says
that smile and those boots!!! I feel your pain!!
Kristy says
Thanks, Sarita! I just want to bottle up all the memories. So thankful to have this blog to help me remember it all. :)
Courtney B says
Oh these pictures kill me!! She is just too cute!! Mia turned 2 last month and I’m not even ashamed to admit that I still call her my baby. I don’t know how to stop!! Ha ha
Kristy says
Oh, thank you, Courtney! Isn’t it crazy how quickly they grow and change? I’m pretty sure my mom still calls me her baby (at 33), so I think we’re all good in that department. Lol. Hope y’all have a great weekend!

Chelsea @ The Contented Wife says
I say it every time, but she is such a cutie! :) Yes, there is something about saying their age in months that only mamas can get. I never refer to LB as being “one.” It’s always “16 months” or whatever month he’s in. I guess it keeps him being a baby longer. :)
Kristy says
Aww, thanks so much, Chelsea! I can’t believe in just a few weeks I won’t be able to get by saying, “Yeah, she’s 25 months.” Lol. I think that’s when we just say, she’s 2, right?
Sorry for the late reply. ;) Hope you had a great weekend, friend!

Jessica @ Sweet Little Ones says
She is one stylish little cutie! :) And her smile is contagious! It’s crazy how quickly they grow up…my oldest will be 3 in April and I’m freaking out over it.
Thanks for linking up with us!

Kristy says
Thanks so much, Katie! Her smile really is the best. Oh, 3! I hear that is a fun age as well, but aren’t they all? :)
