Daddy and his girl the day before we left for the surgery - not a great pic of either of them but I wanted to get one last shot of him holding his princess.  He now has to wait 6 weeks to hold her again! :(

"Mommy thinks she's brilliant letting me play with this ketchup bottle.  hehehe What the hell is she thinking?!?"

"Yepper's - lookit what I did!  Isn't it pretty?"

The very first time Miss Jillian pulled herself up to a toy.  She's a bit of a late bloomer since this didn't happen until she was 11 1/2 months old, but that just means mommy had more time to relax without having to fully chase after her.  Now she's on the go and I suspect that as soon as she starts daycare (in 6 days!) she'll be walking, reading and doing mathematical equations within days!
