Oh My What Big Eyes you have!
Just Beautiful

Jillian has wild curly hair on top that is quite long, but it is short and wavy in the back.  The tips of the longer hair is still a reddish color, but it is growing in blond.  There is a something, something about Jill that grabs your heart and won't let go.  Maybe it is because she won;t give me the time of day or maybe it is that she is always happy and smiling.  She smiles all the time and she seems to be making friends with Papa.
Jillian did not walk as early as Sophie, but at 10 months she is cruising.  She walks from the family room thru the kitchen, thur the dining room, thru the living room and up the stairs she goes.   She has not yet learned to come down the stairs, so this keeps her parents really busy,  Going up and down.

She likes to hold things in her mouth.  She will hold them up to half and hour while playing with something else.   The fish in her month has a magnet.  Her passie is connected to a strap with a clamp (like the ones used to hold with mittens)  Papa stuck the fish to the clamp, then Jillian tried to do it herself.   She loves to stack things up then knock them down.

One correction from Sophie's blog is that Jillian does not watch TV.  She might glimpse up once in a while when Sophie is watching, but she does not watch.  The photo's I had seen were taken when she was very young, So that has changed.  Something about being a year old before TV watching can commence.

Jillian likes to wake before Sophie than go to Sophie room with her daddy and wake Sophie by climbing up on top of her.  She finds this great fun.  She also likes to go to the grocery store and ride in the cart and see all the stuff in the aisles.  Sunday when she was here, she teased Sally with her ball. She know exactly what she was doing and laughed about it.  I think she is a sponge and has a thirst for learning.  Another beautiful child with a brain.   She does have a temper however, she sat on her passie and when she couldn't pull it out, instant hollering. Good thing is, it is quick to come and quick to go. and soon as she got the passie hollering stopped  She knows a couple of words, Uh Oh and Bye Bye.  She waves by curling her finger facing her body.

Beautiful she is, she looks like a China (Dresden Doll) with the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen.  Gramma status not withstanding.   I'm still making friends with her, but she brings me more joy than I can express.  I love her with my whole heart and hope to live to continue to watch her grow and develop.  I love you Jillian Elanor, you make my heart sing.

This is the lullaby her momma sings to her each night.  So beautiful.

Just three of the people I love most in the world!

I hope you have enjoyed these small little glimpse of my Grandchildren.  Sort of one day and how I see them on that day.  I love them all equally but different.  Love, Bon
