our 2 year-old!

Can you believe it?

Jolee is TWO years old!

This was Jolee...just days old.

But no matter how old she gets, she'll probably always be our little baby.

Well...maybe only until the next one comes. Hee hee.

Anyway, here's Jolee today.

We call her "JoJo," "Stinky Face," or simply, "Stinky."

Because she's a rascal.

And she's extremely strong minded.

But that only makes us love her more~

Not to mention the fact that she's my only "mama's girl."

(as opposed to my other two...who are definitely partial to their daddy)

Since we already celebrated her birthday earlier in the month, tonight we just had a quiet dinner with just us and grandma.

Here dining at a local Japanese restaurant...where she could enjoy her favorite foods (miso soup, chawanmushi and shrimp).

I could dote on her redeeming qualities for pages and pages...but I'll just keep it short by saying that despite being the youngest, she's definitely the STRONGEST personality in our family. We love her so much! She makes us laugh, she makes us cry, and her spirit has definitely brought more joy into our lives than we ever could have imagined.

Happy Birthday, JoJo!
