Happy Birthday Gillian!
Our little Miss Gillian has turned 2! It's hard to believe she is only 2, she is so smart and advanced for her age. But she also has her brother to emulate and learn from! Gillian was very tuned into her birthday! She talked about her "Happy Cake" quite a bit and does not shy away from the attention! Unlike her brother, she enjoyed the singing and clapping! She also enjoys cake, well at least the frosting part! We had a family party for her the weekend before her birthday and she had a grand time. She would open each present and then walk out into the middle of the room and hold up what she got for everyone to see! She is quite the showman!
Gillian doesn't have her 2 year appointment until the beginning of May, but I can tell you that she is growing leaps and bounds! She is for the most part into 24 month clothes, but still wears some 18 month stuff. She is getting much taller and I can see this because among other things she can now reach her light switch to turn it on and off. She kind of shows interest in potty training. We haven't pulled out the panties and done the official thing, but she wants to sit on the chair and she tells us when she is wet or dirty. She has a voracious appetite and does a fairly good job of eating. She is definitely pickier than Alistair was at that age. She is our snacker and our carb fiend for sure! Her vocabulary is huge and she has been known to utter up to 5 word sentences! She is a very good communicator. She of course loves her brother and follows him around all time, sometimes much to the dismay of Alistair! (:
Gillian is also our bruiser, our wild child and our dare devil. She has had more injuries since she started walking! On her birthday she tripped and fell while trying to following Alistair over some uneven cement steps. Thankfully the injury was more abrasion with a slight bruise, not a black eye! She does things Alistair never did at her age and she does things that she shouldn't do until she is Alistair's age! (: But we love her just the same. She is a shiny, bright star in our hearts and her sweet, little voice and big, toothy grin can brighten up the worst days! We love you Gillian! Happy Birthday Baby Girl!
