We're eagerly awaiting photos from a very pregnant Aunt Marie and from Pops' camera!
Glad to have them back!!

oh, and a hearty congratulations to Tita Mari and Uncle JP (John Patrick) on their upcoming wedding! Joli's gonna be a flower girl! Mari%20and%20JP.jpg

VALENTINES DAY, 19 Months photo, and a sad mommy!

We're experimenting with new conditioner.. as you can see with Joli's "not so crazy" hair on Valentines Day! 18-mos-valentines-day.jpg

Can you believe she's 19 months old already! She's awesome and SO tall! If you haven't seen her in a while, you'll be surprised just how tall she is (clearly not from the Talusan genes!). 19-mos-face.jpg and 19-mos-tigger.jpg

Congrats to Uncle Jon who made is safely in Hawai'i and who is eagerly waiting for Jenny and Mia to arrive!

Joli and Jorge are going to Florida in the morning, and Mommy is super duper duper sad.... will I make it? Well, the next posts after this will probably be of Miss Joli livin' it up in Florida!

UPDATES...

Hi, everyone! Sorry we've been so slow with the updates. We've actually been doing a lot more video than pictures, because Joli's just been a hoot of fun verbally! She's pretty awesome ...she talks like crazy and can actually have a conversation with you (that is, if you can understand the occasional "alblablahblauhglahbah" word thrown in there. She also went to her first college basketball game the other night and loved it!
She knows a mess of opposites: on/off, hot/cold, open/close, sad/happy, big/little
Knows her colors: red, blue, yellow, green
Shapes: circle, triangle, square
Can name every single person in the family - including significant others!
Knows every part of the body

blah blah blah.. and so on.. so here's the good stuff .. PICTURES!

GO VOTE FOR JOLI!

Hurrah! Joli was selected to be in this week's BabyZone photo contest! Go to www.babyzone.com and click on the photo contest (usually a picture of a baby on the right hand side of the website). She's in the toddler section at the bottom! But, only vote 1x from your computer (per day) otherwise your vote won't be counted! (and, disregard the stupid looking picture of me in the corner). Thanks to Alonso who took the picture last October!
