Since this is going around, we thought Jill should be able to participate, even though she doesn't have her own Facebook account. Here are 25 very interesting, wonderful, and important things about our little Jilly.
1. She is 196 days old today.
2. She is a future alumnus of Cornell University's School of Veterinary Medicine (according to Steve).
3. She will be working hard to get there.
4. She loves her dad. She calls him "Favorite Daddy" and sometimes she cries when Mommy takes her away from him.
5. She loves to drink water out of her sippy cup, and can now do it herself.
6. She drools all the time.
7. She has one curly hair on top of her head at the crown. It's the only curl she owns.

9. She thinks Mommy's hiccups are the funniest thing she's ever heard and screams with laughter when she hears them.
10. She's fairly stingy with her laughs. We usually only get a "heh" at a time, so the hiccups are a great find.
