BABY DOLL NAMES

Over this past weekend Jillian named one of her babies.  This is the first time she has ever called one of her dolls anything but baby.  The first one to be named was baby Lila (after one of our friends little girls :)).  She has two dolls that are essentially the same so when we got the second one out she named it as well.  The 2nd baby doll to be named is baby Hannah.  I believe she named her after my cousin's baby, but who really knows.

(12-5-11) Here is my attempt at a video to get her talking about her baby names.  Here I was saying how she didn't tend to get them confused, but in this video she is briefly referring to baby Lila as Hannah, but she was also wanting to sit in my lap to look at the picture I had just taken of her baby dolls.  She thought that was very cool :).

OCTOBER 2011

So I'm not very good at staying on top of my blogging.. But here are some of the fun things we did in October.  We made a couple of trips to Appleworks.  Jillian loved riding the ponies and the little train they had there.  She also loved the petting zoo with all the animals.  The first time we went there we went with Aunt Susie, Uncle GP, and GP's two nieces.  The second time we went to Apple works we went with Sarah, Amy, Adam, Candi, Chase, Alyssia, and Eva.

Also in October is the Pumpkin carving party.  This year to go along with Jillian's costume of a pig I carved a pig pumpkin.  I think it turned out really well.

FUN STUFF IN SEPT 2011

PURSES

Jillian carrying around mommy's purse.  She will tell you it is heavy!

She is helping mommy shop for a new purse. The old one got ruined so we had to go shopping.  She liked these two :).

PARK

 (09-15-11) Playing at the park.  It was very windy!

(09-15-11) Swinging at the park. She only wanted to swing for a few seconds then she had other things to do.



(09-15-11) Jillian can make this chair spin pretty fast herself if you get her started.  She loves to spin, so I like this chair at the park so I don't also have to sping in circles all the time.

(09-5-11) Jillaian got to ride a pony at the family palooza in Jeffersonville.

AUGUST STUFF 2011

8-23-11 - JILLIAN STORY FROM HER MEEMAW
Jillian loves to push buttons, including ones she isn't allowed to of course.  She was attempting to push a button on her meemaw's uverse box and was told NO a few times before she walked away.  She then went and got her baby doll and held it's hand up to push the button.  As she was doing this she corrected her baby and told her NO.  Too funny!!

8-22-11 LUNCH
Jillian was sitting at lunch with us and just randomly counted from 1 to 4.  When asked to repeat this she acted shy and refused.  Then later she said 3..4..5  I wasn't aware she could count.  She will sometimes say "2" after you say "1" or "3" after you say 2.. but not consistenly.  Maybe counting the ladybugs in her book seemingly hundreds of times has paid off.

Newest Jillian response.  She says "OH YES" or "OH YEAH"  both of which I think are pretty funny.  Not really sure where she got this from.  One would think maybe she saw the KOOL AID guy break through a wall or something, but we hardly watch commercials on tv (we are spoiled by DVR).

8-20-11 BOLT'E BABY SHOWER/PARTY

Jillian had lots of fun playing with "Nolie" (Enola) at the party.  They were having fun standing on the fireplace step and banging on the gril thingy since it made noise.  Jillian was bossing Enola around alittle bit because she wanted her to come sit down next to her.  Later in the evening Enola grabbed Jillian by the hand and took her for a walk across the dinning room.  It is fun to see these two enteract more as they get older :).

FUN WITH CORN

(07-31-11) Jillian helping fill freezer boxes with corn from gma & gpa's garden.  She really did pretty good at getting corn in the box.  She had to have a bite every now and then ;).

(07-29-11) Jillian eating corn on the cob for the first time.  I think she likes it.  Watch how big she opens her mouth up for a bite :).

Baby doll

(07-27-11) Jilly feeding her baby doll a bottle

She loves to play with her baby.  She will give you a blanket and "help" you wrap the baby up in it.  Shortly following she will manage to get her unwrapped then bring you the blanket again to wrap her up again.  I have caught her rocking her baby, also bouncy her and saying "shh, shh shh."  Too cute, such a little mommy.  Oh and lets not forget the all important stroller.  She pushes her baby around in this quite a bit as well.

MESS!

(07-17-11) Jillian eating spaghetti o's

Jillian loves to look at pictures on our cell phones.  When this one comes up in the rotation she always says "mess!, mess!"  She doesn't seem to like messes and it is pretty funny.  Along with this she doesn't like her hands to be dirty.  It can be the tiniest spec and she isn't happy till you get it off.  She will tolerate stuff on her hands while eating, but she usually requests we wipe them off a couple of times while she is eating.  Silly girl!

Not liking messes is just about her hands.  The magnets on the fridge got knocked off to the floor while playing.  When she came back to them later she declared "mess!"  I did get her to help me clean it up.  That is a good skill to learn :).
