21 months old
She's official... 21 months old!
Here are some great pictures now that the weather is finally warm. Of course, in the Northeast, we always take it day by day with this weather.

Almost 21 months!
We close on our house in a few weeks, and we've been enjoying all the great sunshine we've been having!
Last weekend, Tita Grace, Tita Liggs, one of Tita Ligg's friends, and Mommy ran a 5K! It's the first kick off to our summer of fitness! Joli got to play on the playground after the big finish!
Not too much going on other than playing outside. We miss Mia Jewell, but we keep up to date on her website at www.miajewell.blogspot.com. Tita Mari's wedding is coming up soon, so we've been busy doing wedding planning. Oh, and in case people didn't know, Joli is getting ready for another cousin (courtesy of Tita Mari and Uncle JP).
Last week, Joli also got to see some of the American Idol contestants! She's been "watching" that show since she was in utero. Thanks to Tammy who told us about it!
Enjoy the pics! (I'm trying something different this time with the pics... give feedback!)

CAN IT REALLY BE SPRING?
Well, we're not hopeful just yet, but the past two days have been a wonderful 60 degrees in the Northeast. We bought this awesome swing set last year (when she was wayy to little to use it) but now she's almost too big for it! Enjoy!

Joli is wearing a jacket!
Around this time last year, I found an old orange jacket that my brother Jonathan wore when he was 2 years old. It's an awesome jacket, so we put it away in a closet because Joli was waaaaaay too little to wear it.
Well, lookie here... she's finally big enough! Big up, Jonathan! Your legend lives on!

CRAZY FUN PICTURES!
Joli has been super duper fun lately! She's hilarious and really does copy just about everything we say (so we have to be careful!). Funny stuff:
FUNNY JOLI STORY #1:
MOM: "Joli, what does the dog say?"
JOLI: "Ruff ruff"
MOM: "Joli, what does the horse say?"
JOLI: "Nayy Nayy"
MOM: "Joli, what does the bird say?"
JOLI: "Tweet tweet"
DAD: "Joli, what does Grammy say?"
JOLI: "PED!!!!"
JOLI STORY #2:
Just after Joli's bath, she lay down on the bed, pulled up toes to her nose and said, "Oooh! Smells good!"... then, she farted... and said, "Uh-oh, I farted."
JOLI STORY #3:
Joli and Mommy were lying in bed. Joli turned away from Mommy and got really quiet. So, Mommy peeked over to see what Joli was doing. To Mommy's surprise (and horror...), Joli had her finger in her nose, looked up at Mommy, and said, "Go Away."
Some of JOLI'S FAVORITE SENTENCES:
"Momma, ice cream, now."
"Gordie, BE QUIET!"
"Daaaaad, dance-dance-dance!"
"C'mon, stop it."
"I'll get it."
"You help me."
"Oh, graaayt" (thanks to Tita Grace)
"C'mon, Lolo, let's dance."
"Lola, popsicle, now."
"Fishies, want orange?" -- (we then noticed there were about a dozen little oranges at the bottom of her fish tank... oh grayyyyt)
Okay, okay, the pictures.. that's what you really wanted anyways....

It's been a while....
Sorry it's been so long since we've updated the site, all! It's been one heck of a crazy month! I'll post some 20 month photos sometime tomorrow.
We are in the process of buying our first house (hence, the lack of correspondence) and have been so busy in that process. Joli now goes to "Lucy's Day Care" 4x a week, and Tita Grace takes her to music class 1x a week. Yes, music class.
Joli's awesome. Totally conversational, very cute, very polite, very kind, very thoughtful. She's totally outgrown her clothes (18 months) and has "caught up" with the rest of the kids her age. When she was born early, the doctors all said she'd catch up physically around this time. She's just about as tall as other kids her age, too! Unfortunately, we need to go buy her new clothes! She's definately into the 2T stage!

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!

LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF SNOW....
We woke up this morning to already 10 inches of snow, but Lolo and Joli insisted on watching-the-weather report anyways.
Gordon hates the snow. It makes him depressed. But, Joli is quick to cheer him up saying, "at-least-we-have-fruit from the indoor plants."
The snow is piled up so high that it's even bigger than Joli! look-at-all-the-snow !
We are literally trapped.... we can't open any of the doors or the snow will come flooding in. And, even if we could open the doors, we would have to somehow make it over the snow banks!
So, how's the weather in California, Mari? What about you Jon/Jen/Mia ..? How's the weather in Hawai'i?? Bet you are all soooo sad you're not still here visiting!

I'm 18 months old!
Well, my cousin Mia went home to Oregon the other day. I had lots of fun with her! I'm now 18 months old and a terror on wheels (says my mom!). Actually, I'm a really good kid, and I love running around in my light-up sneakers, talking up a storm, and singing at every chance I get! I can name every single person in my family, tell the dog to "stop it" and hold a decent conversation with adults. I also get along really well with strange children and like to entertain them at restaurants.
Here are some pics! enjoy!
