Growing more everyday!

Well, Jillian's 9 months old...getting bigger everyday!

At her 9-month checkup, she weighed 22.4 pounds which put her in the 96% of other children in her age/weight range. So as you can see...she's a big girl! But we sure love her!

Jillian claps her hands: for joy, for your attention, to get your attention, or to just to clap. She loves to clap her hands. She also loves to "wave her arms in the air...like she just don't care" (the words to an old song) and sings and sings when she does it! She's so cute.

Jillian has also started getting up on hands and knees as if she's ready to crawl. She rocks back for forth and makes a little moaning sound as if to say, "I can do it! I can do it!" I know she can...and can hardly wait for her to actually take off! Right now, she just plops down on the floor and rolls. Of course, you also have to understand that there's a lot of Jilli to move...so rolling is her best way of moving around!

She's got a mohawk thing going on...not a lot of hair other than on top! I have a few bows for her to wear, and now that's her hair on the top is getting a little longer, the bows are looking quite cute!

Jillian's eyes are as blue as blueberries. I've been told that her eyes are very striking. I have to agree.

Jillian and Jayna are both the greatest gifts Dave and I have been given. We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were true gifts from God. We have prayed for years for them and now that they're here...we can truly see the Hand of God upon them.
