Jillian's 1st Christmas

We had a very busy day on Christmas. We read the Christmas story as a family, then we went to my mom's for lunch and opening presents. Jillian had a small fever and a very snotty nose when she woke up on Christmas, but she stayed in good spirits most of the day. She did put on a good show for the picture of all the cousins, but still so cute. She decided she wanted to wear all 4 Christmas outfits she had. She looked cute in each one and I think was tired of being held by the end of the day. As you can see below, she slept through the opening of presents. She will enjoy all that she got though. What I want for the new year is a well baby.



Waldo and Jillian have recently developed a keen interest in one another.

I should post more often

How can we ever say no to those eyes, its just not going to happen.
What a cute little Christmas girl.
This girl can sleep anywhere, but never for very long:



She is getting sooo strong and has started rolling over this week. She hasn't quite made it, but is getting very close.

Thanksgiving and stuff

It has been a while, so I am posting a lot of pictures, but not all of them. If you want any particular pictures, just ask me if I have it and I can email it to you. We had a lot of fun in St. Louis, and Jillian did pretty well on the plane. She was extra tired when we got back from all the meeting new people and going to new places.
Awww, how sweet.
Poor Izaiah, Jillian just was not as much fun as he thought she would be. She was napping when we got to Mark and Emma's and Izaiah kept asking "Can Jillian play with me now?"
He got out this blanket and cuddled up next to her (for about 10 seconds)
Grandpa thoroughly enjoyed showing off Miss Jillian at his office and she didn't seem to mind.
These girls are getting way too big too fast.
Jillian enjoyed napping with aunt Dan and cousin Aniya.
Bailey was a pro at holding Jilly.
Riley's first question when we got to St. Louis was, "Can I hold Jillian?"
She is getting so big and strong. She manages herself well in the Jumperoo and likes to talk to the little bear.
Grandma Barber gave Jillian this cute outfit and she is fascinated with the little skirt. She grabs it, looks at it and tries to pull it to her mouth.
Cute winter bear coat!! This makes it nearly impossible to buckle her carseat.

She had her baby blessing at church on November 22. She did well on stage.
The dreaded tummy time, but what a cute head.
