This sweet, spunky, cuddle loving little bit is five! She is such a source of joy for our family - she has the greatest laugh that is full of excitement - you know the kind where someone throws back their head, their mouth open wide and just fills the room. That is Jillian. Meredith is always saying (through her laughter) "Jillian is always so funny!" And she is right. Not only that, she is just uniquely Jillian. She has a fierce loyalty to the things she loves (Just for a few examples: hippos, chevron, purple, that one pair of boots she has worn every day since about October, her favorite sweater, the list could go on and on!) She also has a very definite opinion on what she will and will not wear and how she will and will not do her hair. Her hair styles seem to come in waves. For awhile it was all headbands (or actually, always the same one singular headband) but now with few exceptions (this picture included) her hair has to be down straight with the part straight down the middle - no curls in the ends or anything. She loves to pour over books and will play all by herself for hours and hours. Her favorite things to play with are any "little" toys - like her doll house, her mousies, little La La Loopsy dolls, Lego Friends. If it is tiny and has a million tinier pieces, complete with its own unique house that will clutter the playroom Jillian will love it (seriously we have about 82 different toy houses because it is what she loves!) She is also smart and kind. She has a big heart for those she loves and even those around her. And she makes friends everywhere she goes - she is just that kind of girl. You just want to be around her. This girl makes my heart full and our family whole. We are so proud of you, Miss Jillian Mae!
