I love my daddy!

It seems like every day that passes, Jillian is getting to be closer buds with her daddy. He has her heart and on the flip side, Jillian is pretty wrapped around her daddy's little finger! It has been a joy to see these two together! Here are a some of my favorite pics from the last month.

A new cousin!

On Tuesday, November 1st, a special little boy entered the world. Landon Nicholas Glew was born at 3:18 PM giving Jillian Grace another cousin. Paul and I are also delighted to have another nephew! We went to the hospital on Tuesday night to meet him and he is just precious. We can't wait to spend more time loving on this boy!

Halloween

What a fun fall this has been with Jillian! She is just starting to get big enough to really enjoy some of the holidays which has been fun for Halloween. Paul and I took Jillian to a pumpkin patch near Buffalo, IA earlier in October. About a week later we tried carving the pumpkins and chose a beautiful day we could be outside, put Jillian in old clothes, and let her have at it! To our surprise she stuck her hand inside the pumpkin once and didn't want anything else to do with it! The only thing she was interested in doing was using a spoon to transfer the "gunk" from one pan to the next. Didn't even require a bath afterwards...she was spotless!

Jillian was a giraffe for Halloween. Surprisingly she willingly kept her costume on for visits to grandparents, great grandparents, and a few local friends. She even started to say "trick-or-treat" by the end of her Halloween experience! Amongst her favorite Halloween treats were Gold Fish, Teddy Grahams, and animal crackers. I'm sure that will change next year! :) She wasn't too sure about trick-or-treaters at our house as she kept saying "I scared! Hold you!" as they would come to the door. In her defense, there were some pretty scary costumes!
