I'm a princess....in my daughters eyes at least.

We have one of those digital photo frames that flashes different pictures. Jillian loves to look at it, and she likes to name everyone in the pictures. There's some wedding pictures, some maternity pictures from her pregnancy, some pics of Jillian, and some maternity pictures from Savannah's pregnancy. The other day a picture of me in my wedding dress popped up and as usual, she said, "Mama." Then she looked at me and said, "Mama. Princess." Melted my heart. I suppose it's the dress, but it's sweet that she thinks I'm a princess in that picture!

I'm so amazed at the things Jillian has learned in her short 19 months here with us! She surprises me every day and over the past 2 weeks has really begun putting 2 words together to communicate. I love when she runs to where I'm sitting be says, "Mama, lap." I know there will soon be a day that she no longer wants to sit near me let alone in my lap. I love our sweet snuggle time. She's got such a sweet spirit and I hope that's something that will stay with her throughout her life. She says "thank you" unprompted and just last night after dropping the remote on the floor she looked at me and said, "Sorra Mama". She's going to be a great big sister!!
