Just in case you haven't heard ...
Heather is pregnant!!!
So, Jillian will soon have someone to play with, or take care of, like she does with all of her little "babies". The new baby is due September 17, 2010, which just happens to fall on her Grandpa Peterson's birthday. We haven't talked much to Jillian about the new addition, yet, but as Mommy's tummy grows, we'll start mentioning it to her.

Sighting No. 48
As Mommy says, Jillian is turning into a little girl. Her personality is starting to really come through these days, and we kind of know that she'll have a lot of spirit, and that she won't be all that shy.

Outdoor Girl
It was so nice yesterday that Jillian spent most of the day outside with her car. The first thing she does is to go in the garage to get gas (really windshield cleaner) and fills up her car. Then she gets in ready to roll.

Happy To You!
That's Jillian's way of saying happy birthday. We had a co-birthday party for Mommy and Aunt Julie (who was celebrating her 40th) up in Castle Rock. Jillian had a little cold, but she was still go-go-go the whole time since there was lots of company.

New Stuff XXI
It's a bunch of new things from Jillian. Well, they're new since the last New Stuff entry, so some might be just a bit old, but they're still fun:
1. "I love you, too" : If we say "I love you" to Jillian, she'll say "I love you, too" back to us. And sometimes she'll just say it when we give her a kiss.
2. "Sleeping booty" : Yes, this is actually Sleeping Beauty, one of the Disney princesses that she likes so much. It's just funny when she says it.
3. Patty Cake Song : Jillian can actually sing most of this song. It kind of goes like this: "Patty cake, patty cake, baker man ... paaaaaaat it, rooooooll it, maaaaark it, throoooow it ... for Sweetie-Pie, and baby!!!".
4. "Holey Moley" : Yet another case of Jillian parroting her Daddy's expressions.
5. Performing in the Mirror : The kitchen oven has enough of a reflection that Jillian can see herself pretty well. So, she likes to perform in front of the oven, to watch herself. She talks, sings, dances and spins around right there, and sometimes laughs at herself.
6. "Mommy, Daddy" : The "mama" and "dada" that Jillian has called us for a long time is starting to give way to the "Mommy" and "Daddy" that she has been calling us at times.
7. Mad at Inanimate Objects : This has been an interesting development just recently. If something is not going quite right for Jillian, she'll get physical with, and maybe even yell at, whatever object she's handling. For instance, she was trying to put her babies to sleep on her bed, but she couldn't put the blanket on them the way she wanted (we guess). So, she started throwing the blanket around ... and yelling loudly at the blanket. We've seen it in other instances, as well, and it's become a little more frequent.
8. Taking Swings : Another display of anger (or "independence") has been that Jillian has swung her arms at us a few times when we have tried to pick her up when she didn't want to be picked up. This has brought some quick "NO!" responses from us.

Imagination
Jillian took another step into her pretending yesterday. We were buying groceries for Dora with her cash register and I said to Jillian that Dora needed a bottle for the milk we just bought. I sent her to the store to get one so she ran into the kitchen saying she needed a bottle and came back with a pretend one she would put into my hand and I would give it to Dora. This occurred several time and Rick (who was working on his computer in the kitchen) wondered what was going on since she didn't get anything. She going to have a good imagination!
Pretending
It was another long weekend in gyms for volleyball. Saturday, Jillian was in the gym from 8 AM until 7 PM. I usually find a corner to put the blanket and bring the tote with a multitude of toys. Then it's always fun when Adam, Andy, and this time Parker, were there to play. Jillian is now into setting up her dolls and playhouse. Also I found a wooden dump truck that she could load with the things she bought with her cash register. She sat with Parker for a long time arranging and rearranging and I got to watch a lot of the volleyball games with 
Jillian's cousins Meagan, Tierney, and Macee winning 8 of their 9 matches.
Jillian wanted me to take a picture of big Dora, little Dora and Boots when she had them laying in a row. She is a very caring Mommy to her "babies".
