Another month has flown by and I am still not getting used to the fact that Jillian is growing up so quickly! This month has been lots of fun watching her try so hard to get to everything by pulling herself along on the ground with an expert army crawl. She has started to get up on her hands and knees and rock a bit, so I am sure the true crawling is just around the corner. I know that will be a happy day for Jillian so that she can keep up with her sister just a bit more! That will also mean she can catch up to Coki and Bubbie's dog, Kendal and then the poor dogs will be safe no more!
She has also started pulling up - it started off only happening when she was playing at her music table that seemed to be just the right height, but on Monday, I walked in on a little girl who was refusing to nap and protesting by standing up in the crib! Luckily, Neal moved the mattress down that night to make sure she didn't decide to jump!
Jillian loves to babble and now says both Mama and Dada frequently (of course I would like to think it is always because she wants us, but mostly it is just babbling!) and also Nana - which definitely means "I am not happy. Fix it."
She and Meredith are really starting to have lots of fun together too - Meredith loves to do anything that will make her laugh and of course Jillian loves that too. She is also loving all the Christmas festivities - the lights, the ornaments and especially the presents. The bows on the presents aren't quite the same as they were when I first wrapped them and there are lots of boxes that have slightly torn and crumpled paper courtesy of Jilly Bean. We are looking forward to these next few weeks to get to experience Christmas with her and with Meredith as a big sister!
