20 Months!!!!


February 27, 2009

Well lets see. Gillian is doing awesome with her potty training! Today was the 1st day she wore panties in public! She usually wears them during the day at home but I put a pull up on her when we go to the store or what ever. She did great today!! She loves to talk, sing and dance. Oh and to color doesn't matter if its in a coloring book, blank piece of paper or side walk chalk. This girl loves to color. She is a very busy active girl always on the move! She loves to look at books and be read too. Her favorite book right now is Once Upon a Potty. She also loves anything Princess or Little Einstein's.

Our Family Update!!!

January 2009

January was a fun and busy month! I had some major computer problems so that was one reason for my blogs stopping! =( But thanks to an External Hard Drive my wonderful Mother-in-Law got me and to Bob for re-building my computer I am up and running again! =)

We started out the month with a family trip to the Wildlife Zoo in Glendale AZ. We had sooo much fun!

Here are some pictures form our day!

Warning!!! XXX Picture below! LOL

These Turtles what can I say... They brought a BIG crowed all around then! The Male Turtle was SO loud you could here him grunt from several yards away! I never knew Turtles made any sound at all! LOL

Happy Valentines Day!!!!

I know!! Its been a long time since I have posted anything!! Shame on me! But actually I have had major computer problems and have been using an old computer that is working for now until I get mine fixed. Anyway I have my pictures safe on an external hard drive and so know I have my pictures to start blogging again! Yeah!!

Gillian Taylor 18 months Already?!?!?!

December 27, 2008

January 7th, 2009 Gillian had her 18 month wellness appointment. It went great.

She is now 22lbs 18% and 32ins tall 81%! Wow Crazy!

Doc says she is going to be tall and thin! =)
Most of you know but we moved her to a BIG Girl Bed! She LOVES it!! Well its really just her crib without the sides. Its a grow with me crib.
She is really talking a lot. And can tell you for the most part what she wants or needs.
She loves to look at books and be read too. Brushing her teeth and putting "pretties" in her hair. Such a girly girl! We are working on her ABC and animal sounds. She loves puppies!!! And can point them out at the park or while in the car. "Puppy Puppy!!!!" We also have a cat that likes to hang out in our back yard and she love watching him walk the fence! She knows and can point out all her body parts. While in the car the other day she was saying "house" to all the houses, "Bus" to the buses and "Car" to the cars........

She is such a Mommy and love taking care of her baby dolls.

I know she is doing and saying a ton more but can't think of it all right now!
