Toddler – Learning With My Boys

3 Year Old Flowers Photos

Éowyn is 3 years old now, and is growing and learning so much each and every day. She loves spending time with her family, playing with her baby dolls, eating sweets, and water play.

Éowyn is very excited for her birthday party… this is the first year that she understands that the day is all about her. She talks about opening her birthday gifts and being 3!

She wore a brightly colored dress with flowers on it, and we took advantage of the Easter flower display at church to take her pictures.

My granddaughter is 2 years old and she is talking in sentences already. She saw Storm dressing up as Jasmine and asked to be a princess too. So I got out one of Storm’s old dresses for her to try on. She loved it

Jasmine loves her pet tiger, Rajah. We found this one on Amazon.

She wore her Jasmine costume, and felt like such a “pretty princess”.

I used some curtains and scarves as the back drop and flooring. I also had found some gold vases at the local thrift store. Then I also added the gold beads and golden lantern.

4 Year Old Elsa Preschool Photoshoot

I feel like Frozen is every girls favorite. She is starting to learn the songs now. We love playing Frozen it in the dvd player in the car every January to prepare her for her Elsa photoshoot!

Elsa is a powerful princess. She is learning how to control her powers and doesn’t want to hurt her family while she figures it out. She will do anything to protect her sister from getting hurt by her powers, even isolate herself from Anna. I love that the “one true love” at the end of the movie is the sister rather than the boy this time.

Storm also loves her family and tells me several times a day “Mom,” waits for me to answer and says, “I love you!” She is learning everyday too, and discovering new strengths as she grows.

We took her Elsa pictures in the front yard after out biggest snow ever. We had 17 inches in 24 hours! She wore an Elsa dress that someone had given to us last year with a crown that we found with blue hearts. She wore boots this year because of so much snow, and she wore her blue earrings are from a multi color pack that I bought when she was a baby. I put a loose braid in her hair and tried to put it over their shoulder. She wanted to bring out her giant stuffed Olaf and some snowflakes that we had.

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

Storm has dressed as Elsa on January 17 every year of her short life!

Toddler Moana Photoshoot

My granddaughter is now 2 years old. She is growing up to be such a beauty and getting her own sense of humor.

I love when baby Princess Moana keeps wandering toward the water… she is so cute!

She wore a Moana toddler dress with a necklace and pigtails.

We went to a local beach lake today. She loves her stuffed Pua and takes it with her everywhere. I also brought some sea shells and palm leaves for her to hold.

2 Year Old Pink Balloon Photos

Éowyn is 2 years old now, and is a joy to have in our lives. She loves music, sugar, Mickey Mouse, cuddling with Grandma, and playing outside.

Éowyn is very excited for her pink birthday cake. She is a very playful, pretty, and peaceful toddler.

I just blew up lots of different shades of pink balloons and dressed her in the birthday shirt that says “I’m two cute“. I hung a white sheet for the background and used a white toddler size rocking chair.

She knows that she is 2, and held up 2 fingers!

3 Year Old Minnie Mouse Photos

This Girl LOVES Mickey and Minnie Mouse. We chose this for her 3 year old birthday theme.

She wore this Minnie Mouse dress and her Gold sparkly Converse shoes for the pictures. She also had her pearl earrings and Minnie Mouse bows. I have these little white rocking chairs that she likes to sit and we just put up a white sheet for the backdrop. Then, of course, she needed some photos with her stuffed Minnie Mouse.

She is 3 years old now and has a friendly adventurous spirit. She doesn’t know a stranger, and loves to talk to anyone we see when we are out and about. She loves her family and enjoys playing outside with them.

I’m 3!

2 Year Old Ariel Toddler Photos

The Little Mermaid is the first Disney movie that I remember loving as a child. Girls just love the idea of mermaids and Storm had such fun feeling like a mermaid for the afternoon.

Ariel is such a curious, romantic and energetic girl. Her father is very protective and loves her very much, but he can’t understand her point of view because of his past experiences. She also loves her Daddy and desperately wants him to know her.

Storm is also a very energetic girl who loves her Daddy too. She loves to be silly with him and enjoys playing hide and seek. She is also very curious, not afraid to explore anything.

We took these photos in the back yard by the garden arches. She also wanted her little pool and bubbles to play with. We put some sea shells in her pool. She wore her Ariel mermaid dress. She also loves her stuffed Flounder. She wore her purple earrings are from a multi color pack with the screw backings. I lightly curled her hair and parted it on the side like Ariel. She’s holding the fork, but didn’t quite know what to do with it!

Deuteronomy 14:2 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

2 Year Old Moana Toddler Photos

Moana was her first favorite Disney princess, she watched it once a day for a few months! She got the stuffed Pua for Christmas.

Moana is such a strong, independent girl who loves her people and will do anything to protect them. She explores the ocean, which she has never gone out into before, and she seeks out a demi-god. She jumps into all kinds of dangerous and scary situations, that others would never dream of; all to help her people.

Of course this 2 year old is also a strong and independent girl. Her favorite phrase is “My Doose”, which means “I can do it”. Each day Storm is learning more about the love of a family. She argues with her 10 years older brother, saying back and for “My Mommy”!

We took these photos in the back yard, since we couldn’t make it to the beach this year. I had made this raft from one side of our old chicken coop when I took her 10 month old Moana photos. I used an old sheet to make the sail and painted Moana’s symbol on it. We also found these sea shells, palm leaves and coconut shells to place on her raft. She loves her stuffed Pua and stuffed Hei Hei too. She wore her Moana dress and necklace, and her pink sea turtle earrings. I braided her hair the night before so that it would be curly today, and pulled the top portion back.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

2 Year Old Mulan Toddler Photos

We took a trip to our local Botanical Gardens for her Mulan pictures this year. She had fun running around outside and playing while we were there.

Mulan is a playful girl who is forced to make a serious decision in order to save her father’s life. She loves her family very much and she wants to honor them all. She tries to bring honor to her family the way that they want, but in the end she brings honor to them in an unexpected way.

Storm is also playful, as most toddlers are. She is a very, VERY energetic girl; we try to direct her energy to a constructive way. I believe that one day she will use her energy to accomplish amazing things, the way that Mulan does.

I couldn’t find a Mulan dress that I liked, so I made this dress with pieces that we have. She wore her black dress shoes and white tights. I braided her hair the night before so it would be a bit wavy , then I parted it on one side. She wore her gold ball earrings.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

2 Year Old Tiana Toddler Photos

The Princess and the Frog is fun for her to watch… she loves when Tiana says “Yuck” about kissing a frog!

Princess Tiana is such a sweet girl who know how to work hard for what she wants. What she wants more than anything else, is to fulfil her father’s dream of having a fancy restaurant. Her mother supports her all the way.

Storm is such a sweet and cuddly girl. She says, “hug”, to me dozens of times a day (and night). I want to support her in all of her dreams as well.

She is 2 and a half now and is still learning about princesses. She says, “Pretty” when she gets all dressed up, and runs to the mirror to look at herself. I made this dress with colored tulle tied to the baby stretch crochet hair bands. Then I cut felt and glued it to the front with a big silk lily. We went to a local park with a pond for this photoshoot. I put her hair up with a bun shaper and curled some on the sides of her face. I also made her headband from a Dollar Tree headband and some felt. She wore her white pearl earrings that I bought when she was a baby. She wore her white dress shoes with the bows and her white tights. I found a ceramic frog that fit so nicely in her hands.
