Happy 2nd birthday Jillian Rose!
Jillian knows she is no longer a baby. She refers to herself as a “big girl” through out the day. She is doing great with her potty training. Only wears a diaper to nap and bed – and stays dry all day long. Her language skills are amazing! She is counting, you say 1 and she says 2, 3, 4 and sometimes 5. And I am amazed how many colors she knows. Wesley has a black star balloon – and when Jillian saw it she looked up and said “black balloon”.
Each and everyday Jillian surprises us, makes us laugh and always puts a smile on our faces.
Jillian’s Second Year:
What a beautiful girl! And look at her hair now...
This morning we took her in for her 2 year check-up – and she is still tiny!
- Weight: 23 pounds (8th percentile)
- Height: 31 & 3/4 inches (8th percentile)
- Head: 46.5 cm (25th percentile)
- BMI: 16.8 (60th percentile)
Here is Jillian’s First Year:
A happy yet bald baby...
Here is what Jillian measured up at her 1 year check up:
- Length: 26 inches (Below 5%tile)
- Weight: 16 pounds 5 ounces (Below 5%tile)
- Head Circumference: 43.8cm (10-15%tile)
So looking at this – she is indeed growing… Just on a nice and slow pace. 
Jillian’s Birthday:
What a wonderful day! She came into this world rather quickly and early in the morning. And she has been a fast paced/early riser ever since.
Our sweet Baby J

I know these posts that come every Saturday look a bit overwhelming. There are no pictures – just things that say twit pic. Almost all of them have green links to click on with the word bit in them. But this is just Joshua’s way of sharing all of these great/funny/cute moments with everyone who does not have twitter.
So I am going to show you how to read them…
Here is a twit pic post for the week:
- http://twitpic.com/cdggu – potty time together #
And here is the picture that you get when you click on the twitpic link:
And here is another item from the week:
- http://twitpic.com/d3dd2 – J brushing her teeth before bed. #
And this is the picture you get:
And as for those bit things…
Twitter sets a limited number of characters he can use on each post. But he often wants to share websites, so he uses a special website: http://bit.ly/ to shorten websites.
Here is an example from the week:
- Alaska has $99 each way nonstop Austin to Seattle, Portland, San Jose “Nerd Bird” http://bit.ly/gTsol #
If you click on the bit.ly it takes you to: http://www.alaskaair.com/as/www2/promo/farepromos/sanjose-austin.asp?CID=TW_20090803AW_SJC
I hope this helps some of you.
One of my favorite items Joshua twittered about this week was:
- A lot of people shorten cockroach to roach. J was going the other way this morning. “Saw cock outside. Tried to eat me.” #
Without Joshua’s weekly update – you without twitter would have missed out on this great moment!!
So rather than just skipping over these wonderful gems each week – take a moment and look at the pictures and read all of the great things that have been happening to Joshua and the family.
I was just telling Joshua today how much I love that he uses his phone to take pictures of the kids when we are out and then to posting it to twitter about the picture. They are really in the moment and so spontaneous – the kids don’t get a chance to get bored with the picture taking – the way they do when I have the camera.
Here is a twitter post that Joshua just sent while we were at a birthday party:
- http://twitpic.com/dag55 – j & w eating cupcakes at parker’s bday party#wellsbranch#austin
Click on the link yourself to see the super cute picture.
You will see this and many many more next Saturday. Happy Reading!!
