i love photobooth's




... of course this one was home made.

Jocelyn is so fun & silli these days. She's really trying to talk! I can tell she's saying sentences but I just can't understand the whole thing! Today after I handed her a sippee with milk she said, "I like miulk." While shaking her head and making this cute little expression! I know it's simple but it was darling.

Whenever Jocelyn wants to do something in a different room she says "hand" and grabs my index finger to take me to where ever it is she wants to go. I love it. She is still a Hawaiian girl! She LOVES being outside. I hear that word the most in a day. And as of tonight, after Derek gets home and she wants to be with him, she's starting to call Daddy "Derit" in a yelling-at-you-from-the-other-room voice... like I do. HAHA But she does it in multiples... hmmm. :> Kinda like when I'm calling Derek from another room, "Derek...... Derek?....... Derek!" I have got to watch my back... or mouth, rather! :> 

Jocelyn still loves baby dolls. She loves Disney princesses, like "Rella" and "No White", Finding "Memo" and "Pan" and "Bell" from Never Land. She LOVES books and can't get enough of them. I'm beginning to get tired of looking at my photo albums! We look at them EVERYDAY! So I need to get new pictures printed so I too can have something newer to look at. :) 

Jocelyn is definitely almost 2. I'm learning PATiENCE in many ways. Trial & Error on discipline. Guess and check, really. But there have been improvements in most areas so that makes me happy! I'm not giving up hope! :> Jocelyn's learning the word "Nice" and what's not nice. She even reminds me! She loves our daily walks and going down the "Siide" at the park. "Pastaaaa" and "Muk" are her staples of survival!

So know we're good over here! We are happy, healthy and having fun. Hope you enjoyed that lil 23 month old JoJo update.

We love & miss you all!
