Jill,

Jilly, Jilly Bean, Jillers, JZ, Jillian Zoe...

Jillian's new favorite word is "no." No can mean no, no can mean yes and no can mean a variety of other things. No is often accompanied by shaking of the head and backing away. Most requests for hugs and kisses (most requests of any kind for that matter) are met with a stern "no." Justin and I think that the "No, No, No" song on the children's cd that we checked out from the library might have something to do with this new independent streak. What the heck were they thinking when they created that song?!? I might have to write them a letter. :) Although I would appreciate a kiss or a hug every once in a while, I kind of like this new side of Jillian - my happy girl is developing a personality all her own!
