Sighting No. 58

Here's a little photo of Bridget, having some tummy-time on Jillian's carpet. Bridget is getting to the point that she likes being on her tummy, because she can see more and grab things. Plus, she's starting to slowly spin around on her tummy.

Mommy's Birthday (Belated)

Took a while to get this photo on the blog, but here it is. We all went up to Grannie and Papa's house to celebrate Mommy and Aunt Julie's birthdays. As usual, Jillian helped blow out (spit on?) the candles.

Love that Glitter!

Jillian has been busy the last couple days making Valentines cards for everyone. She signs her cards, always starting with J and finishing her name with a lot of straight lines for i and l,l,i. Then she designs her cards but they all look remarkably alike because she uses a lace heart for each one and lots of glitter. When I asked if she'd like to use glitter her eyes lit up. She would tell me where to put the glue for the glitter and then pile it on like this picture shows, almost covering the card. Luckily I could shake the excess back into the container. She is so proud of her cards but I can't show you a finished one yet as it is supposed to be a surprise. She held up a finished one for a picture with a big smile.

Bridget and Basketball

For over two hours at the girl's basketball game Bridget was a trouper. She would go to anyone but never look at them because there was too much action on the floor between the cheerleaders and players. She would sit mesmerized and watch everything, especially enjoying the cheerleaders when they used their pom-poms. Dianne held her for awhile and Jillian and Rielee were playing nearby at halftime so she spent that time watching them. Here she is blowing bubbles and drooling (constant now) as you can see on her wet shirt. Not long after the game she was worn out and went right to sleep.

Two Cuties

It is so hard to get a good picture of these two, although Bridget is always smiling. But Jillian doesn't want to smile for the camera so when I get a smile out of her, of course, Bridget won't be smiling at that moment. Bridget likes to be propped up to watch Jillian play and this day, Jillian wanted to sit beside her which is nice. But of course it doesn't last long!

Dance Party

This is a common scene in Jillian's room. She knows how to use the CD player, and she really likes "The Cheetah Girls" CD that she got from the Paul family. So, she puts on her dancing dress and dances all over her room.

Sighting No. 57

It's a Sweetie-Pie sighting! We like to reinforce to Jillian how she is getting to be such a big girl, and sometimes she smiles and likes to hear it, and other times she tells us that she doesn't want to be a big girl.
