This was her morning bed head and happiness!!
It is amazing to me how much hair she has and how long it has grown over this past year.
"CHEESE"
That morning we rushed to take Jayla to her 2 year well check. She has grown to really love her doctor and even looks forward to going in to see him and all the nurses there. Everyone of those nurses get overly excited to see Jayla. They all have to run up and poke their heads through the window just to say Hi to her and always compliment her on how pretty she is.I told Jearel it sometimes makes me feel uncomfortable because they never do it to anyone else. OK really it makes Jayla and I feel very special!!!
Stats on Jay:
Height: 34 3/4 inches
Head: 19 1/2 inches (I think?)
Weight: 27 lbs
And she is super smart for her age :)
This was my dancing machine before we left for the doctors
A favorite new hairstyle (for mommy). She hates when I do it, but it keeps the hair out of her face.
Later that night Daddy and Mommy took Jayla out for a special dinner, at Johny Rockets.She loves that place!!
Cheesing it up with Daddy!
MMMM, yummy ice cream!
On Valentine's Day we had a HUGE party at our house for Jayla. Her big birthday wish this year was to have an outdoor play set (swing set) and I am happy to say that thanks to everyone who came out to our party helped make that wish come try for Jayla!!! We are hoping to have it up and ready for play by this up coming weekend (feel free to join us in the fun)!Little Lola was a star for the weekend as well, since her and Jayla share in the same birthday.
Lola cruising around in Jayla's car at the party!
My beautiful Aunt Suzy and Jay.
I think the birthday girl was more interested in all the party favors mommy put out, especially this candy necklace.
The birthday girl playing with all of her friends and family. It was amazing how independent she was this year. She wanted nothing to do with mommy and daddy!!
Getting ready to sing her "happy birthday"
She even knew when to stand up and blow out her candles (all on her own). WHAT A BIG GIRL!
Her very own birthday cake, thanks to a friend of Jearel's who owns a bakery!
Daddy helping Jay dig in, she hates being messy!
Her little friend Molly giving birthday hugs!
Present time!!!
Mostly everything was cash, at Jayla's request!!
She sure was SPOILED!!
Our little birthday Princess!
My little family!
Jay-Lo, the best of friends!
Stopping for a picture!
These girls sure love to be the center of attention!
I was bummed and didn't think to get any pictures of our set-up, decorations, homemade cupcakes, etc. So Mom and Dad, here is the after math, partially cleaned up.
A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that came out and celebrated with us on this special day. Jayla is loved by so many and we couldn't be more thankful to be blessed with such wonderful friends and family. We love you all!!Just a little bit about Jayla from 18 months of age to 2 years old...
She is SUCH a girly girl and loves to wear "lipstick", "paint da toez" and "finger nails."
She is obsessed with baby dolls and my little ponies.
She loves to color and can name just about every color in a box of 24 crayons. Usually everything she sees she calls by color, like "boo chair" or "yahllow car."
She can count up to 13 all on her own and often counts the things she is playing with.
She can say her ABC's all the way through.
She says everything and anything (3 to 4 word sentences), and yes we have had some accidental bad words slip from her mouth.
She loves to sing and sings very loudly. She knows several songs, too many for me to list.
She loves to dance... this is something mommy and Jayla do everyday.
She loves to play with daddy's and grandma's iphones. She can manuver around that thing better than daddy can.
She loves to play with puzzles and is very good at putting the pieces where they belong.
She knows a lot of shapes by name, "circle", "triangle", "square", "octogon"... etc
She has even gotten really good at drawing circles and coloring inside the lines of the circle she draws......
Jayla, you are our little sunshine and make everyday a special day. We are so blessed to have you in our lives and can't be any more proud to call you our daughter. You are bright, beautiful, fun, and so caring. We love you more than words can explain!!!
Happy Birthday once again!!! XO

What a great party you held! Always a success and looks so pretty at the Garrett house! I can't wait to have a backyard to be able to do the same thing!
We had so much fun at the party, my kids especially, and it was all about them!
Your words are so sweet about little Miss Thang! She is so special to me and to her bff Lola as well! I love that they share a birthday, I couldn't think of anyone else in the entire world that I would want Lola to have that with! Plus, I feel like through our babies, we have become so close! Here is to another great year together with our girls!
Happy Birthday Jayla Boo!
