18 Months!!

Palo turned 18 months this week. Oh how time flies! This is such a unique and amazing age. It seems like every month I say that, but now 18 months is so much more!

-She is a FAST runner

-Is always smiling

-Will copy every action we do. She loves to sing Do As I'm Doing, Popcorn, and If You're Happy and You Know It.

-She has a much bigger vocabulary and says a few sentences... 'I don't know. No, Don't, I want this, I love you, hello, apple, etc.

-She screams, a lot. Not sure what it is, but we are definitely working on this one. 

-She can do 'flips' on the ground.

-She loves jumping.

-She is getting hurt ALL the time. 

-She went to nursery for the first time last week and LOVED it!

-She loves to give kisses, and hugs...with a squeeze.

-She is 26 pounds and 34 inches long!

-She loves baby's, especially her cousin Jakston (below). We don't get to see him that often, but when we do she is ALL over him giving him kisses and hugs!!

I can't believe I turned 23. Sad to get old, but always a new adventure! I had a pretty good day. There's something about getting older where birthday's become less of a huge deal, but I still felt very loved and had a good time with family.

My amazing friends decorated my house! I sure was excited, and love these two to death!

The rest of the evening was spent at my moms...sadly this was the only picture I got of me on my birthday! My mom cooked ribs and my favorite salad, followed my yummy brownies and ice cream! 

Happy Days!

Here's a little peak at how our summer has been going! When we can't make it to the pool, we get creative and find something to do inside!

I don't know what it is, but I sure love her hair! This is our happy little bug....she's always making us smile!

We bought the Just Dance game for the Wii and Palo loves it! It's been a fun inside activity since it's SO hot outside!

And then when she gets really bored, she'll fish in the toilet. I caught her leaning over the toilet, splashing in the water with a tampon applicator(clean one of course)!

The picture's explain it all! She got a hold of the baby powder and went to town! It ended up getting all over the place, but at least our house smelled good, right?!

We headed to the cabin for Fourth of July again this year. It was nice to relax and enjoy some cool air. Palo LOVED it up their, and had the time of her life with her uncles. She wrestled, sang songs, danced, and laughed her little heart out, and even managed to pet the dogs a couple times...

...then she had fun swinging on the swing! 

Palo couldn't stay off of grandpa's coffee table. It was the perfect height for her to climb on and off of...again, loved the attention. Overall we had a great weekend!

Hair-Do's

(July 1)

I don't know what it is about this girl and her hair, but every time she wakes up from her naps she has 'hair gone wild'. Thought this day was pretty amazing.
