The other day we took a trip to the mall. Jo thinks the escalators are fun and Aunt Ali was nice enough to humor her up and down a couple times.
Joee loves her cousin Adi. She wants "baby Ah-DEE" to do everything with her. Including sharing seats.
She can sure get goofy sometimes. She randomly will find an old toy she forgot about and be so lovingly happy to be reunited. She just walked around saying "awwwww!" while hugging and kissing this giraffe stuffed animal.Grandma gave Jolene her first "Fun Dip" candy. It was too sour for her liking but she thought the coloring of our tongues was funny!
Jolene has come to LOVE swimming (a total 180 from last summer). She kicks and giggles and rolls all around the pool Grandma bought for her backyard.
Okay this story is too funny. Grandma babysat for me while I had a dr's appt one morning. I came home to find Jolene playing on the piano and grandma hiding down the hall watching, Grandma explained Jolene wanted to play in peace. She asked to sit down at the chair, opened the piano on her own, and pointed to the books for grandma to open for her. After Grandma opened to a random page, Jolene would say "Mmm No." so grandma would turn the page. "Hmmm No." Turn another page until finally Jolene said "Otay!" and began playing and singing along.
She's done it a couple times since then. Once for grandpa while he was babysitting, and once for me. I tried to get the singing on camera cause she would throw her head back and yell "LAAA!!!!!" really loud. It is hilarious. We have no idea where she got this from. The only piano playing she's seen is at church and one or two "Piano Man" youtube videos.
