Bathing beauties

Had to share some bathtime fun from this evening!

Eleven months

Jilly D here at 11 months old! I'm up to lots of new things here including crawling like crazy, standing up on anything I can get to and now clapping. Mama has been trying to capture me clapping on video but hasn't succeeded yet. Nina is a great big sister but really hates me grabbing her toys away from her. She still gives me hugs and kisses though. Looking forward to my first birthday and lots of celebrations!

The Shaw Sisters

They are available for weddings, bar mitzvahs and any other special occasions.

Will crawl for food

Jilly D here, check me out today!

Spring is in the air

Happy Passover and Easter to all of you!  We had a great time celebrating both.  The celebrations kicked off with a Passover party at my school.  I was in a bad mood that day so it didn't end well, Mama said she doesn't want to relive my meltdown so I'll spare you all that story.

We had my best friend Miya and her family over for a Passover dinner.  It was the shortest seder ever considering there were four of us under 2 1/2 yrs old.

Easter was a bit of a bummer to start as I had a stomach bug.  I felt better in the afternoon though so Daddy hid some eggs in the backyard and I got to go on a hunt with my new bunny basket.  I still managed to enjoy my fruit snacks that were hidden inside the eggs.

The weather here in Seattle has been amazing so we've been outside a lot.  I got a cool new slide (thank you Aunt Judi and Uncle Shel) and Daddy put it together this weekend.  I've been having a blast on it, though I'm not sure how I feel about Jilly sharing it with me.

Jilly turned 10 months old and is on the verge of crawling.  I've been a great big sister lately, giving her lots of kisses and hugs and always making her smile.

Lots of photos of our springtime fun.

Dancing queen

I really enjoy creating my own songs and dancing along to them. Here is a video Mama took of me performing for Daddy.

Nine months

Last week I turned nine months old. I can't believe I'm almost through my first year! Mama is already planning my big one year party, can't wait.

I'm up to lots of new things. I eat pretty much anything Mama and Daddy give me but my favorite is definitely bread of any kind. Nina and I like to play together now and she continues to crack me up. No one makes me laugh like she does. I'm starting to get up on my hands and knees and can scoot backwards, though I'm not too interested in moving. I much prefer sitting up and watching everything around me.

The biggest news is that it looks like I'm going to have Mama's curls too! We got a good picture of them.
