What's Everyone Looking At?

As the old song sings "It's my par-ty and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to. You would cry too if (...you were forced to sit in front of a large group of people staring at you with your shirt off and a weird hat on with elastic cutting into your chin and a strange thing in front of you that you had never seen before that you just knew your Mom was going to make you eat for everyone to laugh at and make fun of you over.....) it hap-ened to-oo you"

Hey...You Want Some?

I haven't even been to kindergarten yet, but I am willing to share this with you. Come on. Dive in. There is enough for everyone. Hope you don't mind that is all a bit squished. If you can't get any off the tray there is plenty in my hair. Who's first?

Enough is Enough!

I've had all I can stands...and I can't stands no more! Do you like my frosting foo-man-chu?

And So It Began...

One year ago today we started out on the road to get Jorja Jaye into this world. You can tell by the smile on my face that ignorance is indeed B-L-I-S-S! I had another 12 hours to go before we saw any results. Tweellvveee hhhooouurrrsssss....

Little Miss Sass!

I have been waiting since before I was born to wear this ensemble and it finally fits! Looks like I even have the attitude to go right along with it. Thanks Auntie Heady :) !!!

Meet My Assistant

A one Mr. Vroom. He gets me where I need to go right quick. I am thinking of firing him soon though as I will no longer be in need of his services. I hear he can be converted into a car so maybe I will look in to that.

And I'm a Walkin' Yes Sir eee I'm a Walkin'....

Here you have it in pink and white. I'm officially walking. Everyone got so excited when I tried this, so I will keep it up.

Me and My Dada at the Swimmin' Hole

My eyes are closed as I am demonstrating to you my "underwater face". See, this is what you have to do when you go under. It is much better on the eyes that way. Try it out for yourself.

HEY JAY JAY!!!

I'm hangin' on by your hair! I hope I don't pull more of it out! Thanks for coming to see me. I am having fun with you. xoxo

Me and My Jan-Jan

I am relaxin' in the park with my Jan-Jan. She came to my house to see me. While she was at it she saw my Mom and Dad too. But I know I am the one she really came for.

11 Months! Almost to the big 0-1!

Honestly, are we not past this ritual yet? I mean really. I am almost a year now and have made lots of advancements. This was cute when I was 10 months, but I am like inching toward being on the number chart now so.....work with me.

Talking Chipmunk Alert!

If I wasn't so busy shoving pasta into my mouth I would tell you that I can say these words: hi, dada, mama, bird, doggie, kitty, bottle, baseball, book, jorja, gentle, this, that, and of course my favorite....NO (ha! ha! mama and dada you thought you were only using it on me). It takes a bit of a trained ear to get my meaning all the time, but I am catching on right quick. (Thanks for the idea Bobbie!)

My Favorite Distraction is...

Make-UP! All I need is this good stuff and I am good to go for at least half an hour. You have seen me doing this before, and it just doesn't get old. I'm telling you this stuff is the greatest.

A visit from Auntie Adri

As mammy in the immortal masterpiece Gone with the Wind says "It sure is good to see home folk." Thanks for hanging with us. We love you!

Enjoying the Seattle SUN!!!!!

Hey it does get sunny here. Here I am out and about enjoying the weather and fun times with my peeps. They are looking a little pale as the Texas sun has become but a happy memory. Better for the wrinkles my mommy has noticed recently. Oooppssss, guess I better keep my mouth closed. They are laugh lines mommy, laugh lines! (um...er....that's my story and ..well you know the rest)

Our New House

Don't worry our truck won't swallow our house whole. It is bigger than it looks from the outside. We think we will really like living here. :)

Get Used to it Kid...

You will be stuck in one of these things from here on out. Just make sure you let them know how you feel about it once in a while. Follow my lead........

Summer Time and the Livin's Easy

Oh goodie it's summer time! I love summer. Well, I think I do.... afterall, it is my first one. My favorite things about summer are; wearing fun dresses without tights, teaching my mommy about swimming, morning walks where I don't need a blanket, and peaches. Happy summer to my peeps!

Gettin' Prepped for the Dunk

Ok, so you will hold on to me right? I think I can do it. No, I know I can do it. I'm ready.
One...Two...Three...

I DID IT!

Yipeeee! I went underwater and loved it! My mommy told me she was proud of me, and I am proud of me too. :)

On Top of the Space Needle

Mommy, me, Glory and Auntie Jaysie on top of the Space Needle. I think it is kind of cool because strollers aren't allowed up here and my mommy had to carry me the whhhooollleeee time. I could get used to that. DOWN WITH STROLLERS!

Charge It Baby!

Me and my shopping cards. I keep them right here in my office. Yikes..sorry my desk is so messy right now. I'm sure you fellow work horses understand. Not enough hours in the day right? Well time to shop.

Hey Somethin' s Missin' Here...

Um...Where am I? Who let them out without mmmeeeee? No really it's fine. Go right ahead enjoy yourselves. Don't worry about lil' me. I'll be just fine. Really I want you two to get out alone. Go. (Ok listen peeps: I can't even believe they would just go out without me...I mean they can't be having any kind of fun, I mean really........could you leave me? As if!)

Here's My Cousin Glory...

Isn't she super cute!

And Here's Me

Doing my best impression of her way cool hair style. Hers does this naturally, I have to work at it. Can't wait to see you soon at my house Glory!

OUCH!

Well peeps, as you can see I have gone and done it. I got too big for my britches, my feet slipped out from under me and my head met the corner of the coffee table. My mommy jumped into action and fixed me right up. It was not much fun, but we handled it.

The Day After

It's the day after my first incident, and as you can see everything's cute. Friends, please remember: TABLES CAN BITE and you need to be very careful around them.

Mama I'm Getting Big Now So...

Can we please pass these shorts on to Glory? I think they are a little snug, even with my belly being sucked in. HHHeeeeeepppppp!

Is That For Me?

It is? Really? Oh I am so happy to hear that.

Splish Splash I'm Just Taken' My Bath-ie

Come on in the water is fine! Wait! Scratch that. This is my bath get your own.

Of all the Letters...

J is definitely the best!!! Tastes pretty good too.

I-C-U!

Valley Girl..She's a Valley Girl

Like oh my God, like totally. I’m like so sure! Gag me with a spoon. Like yeah this is totally tubular!

Happy Mommy's Day!

Here I am on my family's farm in Oregon enjoying the sun, the sights, and of course celebrating the fact that this day is really because of me. ;)

My Gra'ma Carol and Me

I love you Gra'ma Carol! Thanks for such a fun weekend!

Tulips! Tulips! Tulips!

Here we are at Tulip Town in Mount Vernon, Washington. We had a great time enjoying the flowers and the sunny weather. These flowers looked good enough to eat. Don't you think?

I'm in a Mad Mood!

Ok, so what! I'm sure you have had days like this too. I held it in allllll day and decided that dinner time was when I had to let off some steam. You wanna make sumpthin' of it!!!??

A Whole New World

Howdy folks! I must report to all of y'all that I am officially "on the move". I am crawling, and standing whenever and wherever I can. There is so much more to see than I ever imagined. I'm pretty darn sure I'm even fixin' to walk in the next couple months.

"Got to Get Down to the Swing Town"

Here is the swing I was talking about earlier. I just love it! Hope my mom is up on all these dang safety precautions stamped on the front. Eh...I won't worry about it. My only job is to have fun.

And there I go...

Wwwwwwhhheeeeeeeee!!!!! There is an empty one next to me. Who's in?

"Someone's in the Kitchen with Jor-ja..."

It is time for dinner at my house and I must say that this here steak needs more fixins. After all the work I did, I wasn't even allowed to taste it. Just a few more months then... look out cows! Right Gram'pa?

Happy Spring to All My Peeps!

Things I enjoy about the spring thus far; flying on the swing at the park, eating grass (I got busted for this one), looking at all the flowers, going on evening strolls, and eating dinner while it is still light out.

My Easter Bunny and Me

Well, my first Easter went great. Brunch with my family, an egg hunt in the backyard, and a photo session with my Easter Bunny....and I'm spent!

Me and My Cousin Zach

He makes me laugh harder than anyone I have ever met. There is just something so silly about him. :)

Excusssseee Meeee Jorja!?

What do you think you are doing? You have a ways to go before you get into this kind of girl stuff.

Who Me? Aw...um...Nothing!

Honestly, this stuff just fell right in my lap.

Austin, Texas Aunties Reunite!

We flew to NYC to suprise Auntie Jenny (the pretty lady next to me in blue) for her baby shower. We are so excited for her little sir to join us in July. Boy was she SHOCKED to see us!

"Ain't Nothin' But a G Thing"

All six of us have last names that begin with "G". It's a pretty special letter we think.

Moi, and My Friends Austin and Emma

Ok , I have to say I have been waiting and waiting to meet these two....and I love them! We had so much fun together. Can't wait to see you friends again!

No Time To Talk...Gotta Chow Down

Austin and I are having a great time eating dinner together. Too bad our mommies have to wait to eat until we finish. That's the breaks in this business. :0
