let freedom ring



jillian has a new found freedom...standing up. she's been doing this for about a week, but now she knows it provides new fun. today, as jill was "napping" i heard a few giggles. i ever so slowly and quietly opened the door to her room. i was greeted with this picture, i had to run and get the camera. on the fourth jillian learned the freedom of screams, i mean speech. we went to a bbq where three two year olds were just loud as can be. jill quickly learned that she too can scream. now her choice form of communication is a high pitched squeal/scream and of-course bababa. she's so proud of herself too, always smiling after she makes the new noises. this age is so fun! i can't wait to see what's next...

Lower that crib mattress, Lady. I think I just had a heart attack seeing that picture! Now, that I have calmed down and know that Jill did not fall out...she sure is a cute little one. I am SO glad that you got to come to UT. I wish that we could see you more often. There is an open invite to our house if you want to come!

Ditto- the first thing I thought when I saw that was "lower the mattress before she flips right over that railing!" Jill looks so happy standing up in her crib, though. You can tell she's quite proud of herself!

All these experiences are so fun! It looks like Jill likes to learn new things too. "Queen of the House"

I'm loving the chubby little calves peeking out between the slats of the crib!!! Hope to see you two soon.
