Vernon Child Photography takes on a whole new meaning when you’re photographing someone who is one of the most important people in your life.  This little darling is our sweet, tenacious, independent and daring little girl; Ava.  And she’s turning four.  With every year that my children have a birthday, I am excited for the little people they are becoming.  They are discovering who they truly are, independent of our family unit….but it also makes my heart a bit sad as our little baby is growing up.

Thankfully she still needs lots of snuggles as my lack of sleep deprivation can attest.  It is still a nightly ritual for her to climb into bed with us sometime around midnight but my husband and I wouldn’t have it any other way.  We may get a foot in our face every once and a while but there is nothing better that her little snores as she burrows in under my chin and tucks her little fit in between my legs.

As she turns four here are some of the things we are noticing about our little angel.

*She is wildly independent.  I don’t know if it’s seeing her older brother do lots of exciting things, but nothing scares her.  She is an avid fan of roller coasters and wild rides, going down waterslides by herself, and doing amazing tricks on her scooter.

*She is super bright when it comes to math.  I think her and her brother have finally broken the math curse in their DNA!!!

*She is always thinking of how she can share with her brother.  If she receives a treat and he is not around she makes sure to break it in half or finds one for him so he is not left out.

*She doesn’t give out hugs and kisses easily, but when you get one, it was worth the wait!

*In terms of future career paths she wants to be a baby doctor or  a “man” so she can go on business trips and airplanes (awe, just like her daddy!)

Thanks to my brother for planting this gorgeous ground cover behind my parents home about 20 years ago!  When Ava started gathering flowers here a few days ago, I knew immediately where I wanted to do her four year old session.  It was an absolutely perfect backdrop.
