SHOPPING BUDDIES

 (04-20-11) Jillian & Chase - ready to help their mommies shop :)

(04-20-11) Chase & Jillian - hey whatcha doing back/up there?!

This double stoller cart at Kohl's is quite challenging to move around the store in. It would help if the wheels would turn properly.  2nd problem is the length of this cart.  There are places that I had to back it out of cause I couldn't turn the corners. 

The mommies had a fun time shopping, the kiddos well sorta ;).  Jillian likes to walk all around the store and neither wants to sit in the stroller for too long.  But overall they are very helpful shoppers :).

COME WITH ME

(04-17-11) What'cha doing? Let me have the phone!

Jillian has starting coming up to me and reaching out for my hand so she can lead me places.  It is pretty cute.  She doesn't seem to have a destination in mind.  I think she finds it fun that she can make mommy get up and follow her.  If I am sitting and she wants me to go with her she will grab my hand and tug on it with all her might to get me up.  This so reminds me of what I would do to my daddios all the time when I was younger.

JILLY MONSTER

(04-9-11) Chase messing with Jillian's bow

Jillian is learning to feed herself with spoons and even a fork.  She isn't very good at getting the food onto the spoon or fork, but if you put it on for her she can get it to her mouth. It might be a tad messy, which I should point out she seems to like!

Her favorite word is doggie and saying woof, woof.  Hers is more like a little uff, uff or something, but it is very cute.  She also loves to say Kitty, but we are having trouble getting her to say meow.  Probably cause our dogs bark (esp Sarge) and the cat is normally quiet.

Nicknames: Jillian has a few cute nicknames.  She will probably dislike most of these when she gets older, but for now she doesn't care. Jilly, Jilly Monster, Beetle Bug... probably others we call her but that is all the comes to mind right now.
