five on friday

This is an all-Jilly edition of the Friday Five.

1.  I gave Jilly her first little ponytail this week and while it looked quite silly, she absolutely loved it.

2. Now that the weather is so delightful, we spend as much time as possible outside.  The problem is that Miss Jilly is 100% nature girl and insists on touching every single rock, stick, flower, etc.  By the end of the day it's hard to tell if there's a girl under all that dirt.

3. Jillian has gotten into my makeup before.  But this time I'm pretty sure Bryan was involved.

4. Jilly is starting to pick up on lots of things.  The other day she spilled some milk.  She immediately ran into the kitchen, grabbed a towel, and wiped it up- all on her own!  It was a moment of great pride for me.

5.  To make her laugh we fake sneeze and say, "ah ah ah choo!"  Jilly started to copy us but for a while all she got out was "ah ah ah."  What a teaser.  But this week she finally mastered the "choo!"
