One Year Check Up

Well, today was another one of those dreadful doctor's visits when Jillian had to get another round of boosters! She was such a trooper, though, even though she got 4 big ones! Poor baby! Here are the stats from today's visit too:

Height: 27 3/4 inches

Weight: 20.10 lbs

Percentile: 25% all around!!!

She is getting so big! She has had her 2 bottom teeth since about November, but is just now beginning to cut her top 2! Of course the lack of teeth hasn't slowed her down! She eats like she has a mouthful! She is fully mobile and getting into everything! She babbles all the time, but is still only really saying "Dada". "dog", "ook (book), "huh", and although she hardly ever says it, she can say "Mama". She is so smart and talented and I can't wait to introduce her to those of you who haven't met her yet!

Who's the Most Famous Reindeer of All????

My aunt bought these little reindeer antlers for Jillie at an after-Christmas sale and rather than put them away for next year, I decided to let Jillie play with them now. She loves them!! She is so cute when she puts them on! She will shake her head around like she is being "silly Jillie". She also likes to look at herself in the mirror with them on! Oooh, she is too much!

What are you looking at, fool?

Are these on straight?

C-U-T-E!!!!

Jillian's Birthday Party

Okay, so a week later and I am finally posting Jillian's Birthday Party pictures! I wish that I could post them all, but that would be a little extreme, so I have chosen a few "choice" photos. Of the ones I am posting there are some with Jillie eating her first cake (sugar at that)! I had made her a "safe" white cake with white frosting (I know, I am boring) but my mother-in-law snuck in a cupcake with PURPLE frosting!! Jillie loved it and put her hand in it and then on her face leaving a little hand print across her face! (which later caused her to have a red splotchy mark on her face). Anyhow, I hope that you all enjoy! I wish Birthday's were always this fun!!!

Here's the Birthday Girl!! (She is wearing her new silver squeaky shoes)

Here she is with her nice, safe, white cake....

And here is after the purple attack!!! (Notice the hand print??)

Happy Birthday Jillian

So in about 15 minutes from now it will be exactly 1 year that our precious little miracle made her grand entrance! I cant believe that it has already been a year. It really seems like it was just yesterday, and no kidding, this has been the fastest year of my life! (Maybe because I wanted it too last?) She seems so big at times but then there are times when I am holding her, rocking her, and she is still just my innocent, fragile, baby that I brought home from the hospital. We celebrated her birthday yesterday with family and a few close friends (her actual birthday is today, Super Bowl Sunday! Her father wouldn't have it any other way!) She received a lot of great gifts (clothes, books, and a little tea set just for her) and was "allowed" to sample pure bliss for the first time-CAKE!! Those of you who know me well know what a cake FREAK I am so it was pleasing (and fitting) that my daughter should follow in my footsteps and love her first cake! She also sampled her first hotdog (which she loved just as much as the cake!) All in all it was a great time and I can't wait to post all of her pictures from her party.

Caught in the Act!

While CJ was watching Jillie last night she decided to help herself to her Cheerios! Sneaky little thing! She seems to "help herself" to a lot of things these days! Aside from raiding the pantry, she loves to get into my make-up drawer while I am getting ready and to take clothes out of her drawers and the dryer! Actually, she enjoys taking anything OUT from anywhere!

Ice Day!

CJ and I were both off work today for an "Ice Day"! I was so excited because I really didn't want to go to work today and I wanted to spend some time with Jillian since I worked all yesterday and really only saw her for about 30 minutes. So, what did we do with all of our time? I did my floors, laundry, and chased Jillian around all day! While I was cleaning Jillian decided to go through my purse and somehow managed to get my credit card and a $1 bill out! Here are some pics of her playing with my wallet and "wearing" my purse like a big girl!

Mom, I think you spent too much at Wal-Mart!

I am sooo big!!!!
