Today Jillian is 10 months. Little baby Jillian is really all gone now and sweet toddler Jillian has emerged.

Today she started saying NO. She shakes her head and pulls her fists in close to her body.

She also is doing an amazing job with her walking, cruising and standing. Today I stood her up after a diaper change and she then took 3 steps to the chair all on her own. I tried to get her to do it again, but she was too excited and happy to focus.

And she is eating a TON! She must be growing because she is eating as much as Wesley. She is also trying to cut 2 of her bottom teeth right now – so she has been sleeping very poorly. Hopefully they will cut though soon and give us all a break.

It is so great to watch her grow and learn. I wonder what she will learn/do tomorrow.

This is the chair that she took those 3 steps to.

10 months

This afternoon we took the kids to the Austin Children’s Museum. Here is Jillian in the toddler area.

And here she is having fun with Mom and Dad.

I know you don’t like to celebrate your birthday – but to me it is a wonderful day. Here are just a few reason why:

  • 29 years ago you were born.
  • 18 years ago we finished the sixth grade together.
  • 11 years ago we started dating.
  • 5 years ago (almost) we were married.
  • 3 years ago I was pregnant with Wesley.
  • 1 year ago I was pregnant with Jillian.
  • And today we all get to remember the big and little events that have helped to make you the person you are today.

I am the luckiest woman in the world to have you as my friend and husband. You are the type of father that I always wanted for my children. They are truly lucky to have you!

Today we will celebrate your 29th Birthday very simply: Hunter Cake, Four Bean Salad and a special puzzle that Wesley and I made just for you.

I love you with all of my heart… Happy Birthday to You!!!!!!!

Joshua on June 3rd, 2008

Today is the 11th anniversary of our first date. 11 years…crazy. The picture above was taken on the last day of school of our Senior year. So it must have been within a week of our first official date. (Yes I’ve had the same haircut since highschool. Longer actually.) Even though we are married we still like to remember June 3rd. Somehow it feels like we are short changing ourselves if we only celebrate our wedding anniversary. After all, we’ve only been married a meager 5 years (almost).
