2 YEARS STATS

(January 21, 2011)
My Palo is 2 years old today! I can not believe we've made it this far!
Palo is saying and doing new things EVERY day! And we love it!
She LOVE'S to sing! A Lot!
She will make up her own music and words
Or just sing the ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle, and Itsy Bitsy Spider.
She is still obsessed with her uncles and wants play with them all the time.
She still loves watching Barney,
It's become part of her morning routine.
She loves to eat, and has always been a really good eater.
She has a sweet tooth.
She doesn't really have a favorite food, just anything that comes at snack time.
She can count to 10 on her own, and has gone as far has 14 once.
Palo is starting to get quite the imagination.
She is a bigger helper around the house and always willing to clean up her toys.
Whenever she starts to clean she will always start singing the clean-up, clean-up song.
She loves to help mommy cook.
Whenever I start to cook, she's always by my side asking to help.
Palo has always been a big lover. She loves giving kisses and hugs to everyone.
I love this about her.
She's the first person there to kiss away an owie.
She's already a champ at passing the volleyball.
And not to mention she can spike it, too!
Makes for two proud parents :)
Word's cannot express how much love we have for you Palo! Thank you for being such an inspiration, and always having a smile on your face. It has always brightened mommy and daddy's day. We love you so much, and couldn't express how grateful we are to have you in our lives forever!

Here are a few pics of Palo in her birthday outfits.

She was pretty excited to try them on and model for us:)

Palo's Party!!

(January 21 2011)
Palo had another fabulous birthday this year! She started off the morning with a surprise from her favorite friends ever, Taizlee, Baylee, and Kayla. She was in heaven playing with her friends, and so excited they stopped by on her birthday. It was perfect! After that we headed out to her nana and pappa's house where she played with her uncles all day! Then finally around 6:30 when everyone arrived she had pizza, cake and ice cream, opened her presents, and then to top it all off had her own little dance party! Her uncle Kallan found the old disco ball, nana turned on 'Baby-o' and Palo danced and danced and danced! She had a blast dancing, showing off all her moves and just being in her element. And for not having a nap the entire day, she didn't ware down once!

We are SO blessed to have Palo in our lives. It's been amazing watching her learn and grow each day. We are even more blessed to have a beautiful daughterwho never fails to make us laugh, and always put a smile on our face!
We love you, Palo!!

Here she is in action, doing what she loves!

Painting Pretty's

Palo got nail-polish from her aunty Kel for Christmas this year.

 Every time she would see Mykelle she would her nails aka 'pretty's' painted-so she got Palo her very own. She LOVES having her nails painted, and now it's turned into her wanted to paint our nails! 

Misi is always a good sport, he lets her paint his, too.

Despite having an almost two year old painting our nails, 

she does a really good job! 

She rarely will get it on our skin

which  is quite impressive :) 

 So proud!

This is usually what we do as soon as we're done painting! 

*Christmas*

Christmas came a flew by for us! We were very grateful that we had another blessed year, and best part of we were with family.

We started a little late this year at the Webster house. Everyone slept in, which was really nice for us!

It was a fun Christmas for the kids...and the adults, too:)

Palo had fun opening presents but was mostly glued to baby Jaks.

 Everyone so happy Christmas morning.

Palo loving on her cousin.

After spending the morning with the Webster's, and after visiting all the grandma's

we headed to Misi's parents house and this is what Palo got.

She was thrilled! She was so giddy the whole time and LOVED riding her new horse!

Christmas Eve

We had another fun Christmas Eve.
Started the night off with the annual Christmas Eve program.
It was Palo's first year as an angel, she didn't like it much, but I was glad she stayed on stage.
After the program Santa came,
tears were shed when she sat on his lap
but she was happy to get her present!
We got to spend time with both families
and enjoyed being with everyone.

Waiting for the program to start!

Palo as an angel (addie's behind her doing such a good job!)

Poor Santa

Happy family

 She was SO excited to get her horse! 

Happy!

Our little monkey is growing up! We can't believe that next month she'll be TWO years old.

This is definitely a bitter-sweet moment. Lately she has been talking SO much. 

We are always shocked when she says something

we have never heard before. 

Lately when she gets upset (or mostly just all the time now) she well tell us to 'Stop it!' On Sunday she kept telling me to 'stop it' and I had warned her she would be taken to her 

room if she kept choosing to tell me that. And she did.

So I quietly took her to her room, as I always do, and proceeded to tell her that she

could come out with she chose to stop telling mommy to stop it. (Note: whenever I send her to her room I usually tell her she can come out when she's ready to be happy. Please know I don't have to put her in her room very often.)

So a couple minutes later Palo comes out of her room to find me. She taps my leg and says

"Mom!"

"Yes, Palo."`

"I'm Happy!"

Melted me. I just love this girl.

A few other things, she can count to ten, and with our help say all her Abc's. She can do 1, 2, 3 on her own, stumbles through 4, 5, but has 6, 7. 8. 9. 10 down pretty well!

Palo sure makes her mommy and daddy proud!

                 

THANKSGIVING

We had a wonderful thanksgiving this year. We were able to celebrate at my parents house with my dads sister and only a few of her kids were there this time.Misi's parents and brother's were also able to join us! We were just so grateful to be around family. Nobody brought a camera this year to Thanksgiving, so sadly we don't have any pictures!

 (November 11)

Here's our little cutie pie all ready to go to grandma's house. She was so excited to have her Dora backpack and couldn't wait to show everyone! I can't believe how fast she's growing up! The pictures just make me smile!

Palo up-date

Palo is such a funny girl! We are always laughing at her.

Right now she loves school buses. When ever she see's/hears one

she will yell BUS!!

She loves her 'auntie' and 'uncles' she asks me numerous times

throughout the day where they are.

She is obsessed with talking on the phone. As soon as I get on, she will immediately come over

and tell me she wants to talk.

She loves her 'Nanna's' and 'Pappa's'.

She's in love with her cousin Bubba, and wants to hold and play with him all the time.

Still loves my mom's 'Kitty Cat'.

Loves to read books. Loves watching Barney and Baby Einstein.

She loves 'amimals' and always wants to play with them.

Lately she's been singing...sometimes it doesn't sound like anything, but it sure is cute!

When something happens to her, she drops something, something falls down, etc. She will always say 'Oh, man!'

She is always talking! It's definitely a highlight of this age.

Palo loves to copycat! She likes to do what everyone else is doing.

When she gets in trouble, or knows it's time to go to bed, she will ask us if she can have 'one more minute?'

Here's Palo and her favorite cousin 'Bubba!'

Palo likes to be like daddy and had him put his belt on her while she played.

 Palo got into Mommy's make-up and knew just what to do. She just happened to pick the brightest pallet to work with, too!

 She was so proud of her work!
