Milk. Schmilk.

Food. I love it. Can't get enough of it. Peas, garden veggies, apricots and apples, bananas, oatmeal, carrots, sweet potatoes, pears, rice and lentil dinner, and more to be added very soon.

Valentine's Day 2008

Nothing like sisters.

The Gals

Matt's three girls. Yikes....T-H-R-E-E!

BEWARE!

This couch ain't big enough for anyone else but me and I'm on guard. Ya best STEP OFF!

Sittin' Here...

Well, I finally got my feet to behave and to stop tapping long enough for me to learn to sit up all by myself. It's like a whole new world up here, and I'm never going back....to my... back.

Up Above Our World

Whoa, wow....check us out! We are way above the ants and the sticks...the sticks and the ants.

I Feel the Need...The Need for Speed!

I donned my pink aviator cap and got my first taste of big air the other day. Oooo-weeee! I got to do that again.

Our New Niece and Cousin is Here :)

"Queen Jorjanna"

These are the very special jewels I get to wear when I am with my Jan-Jan, and I feel most comfortable wearing them. Like they were meant just for me or something.

Extra! Extra!

AP Seattle, Wa - Here's my latest haps: Two teeth on the bottom, two more comin' in on top (I'm not happy about it), rolling over from front to back and back to front, trying to sit up, but I don't like to stay still for too long so it is a bit of a challenge. Scooting on my tummy if there is something in front of me worth scooting for. Eating rice cereal. Tried bananas. Gagged up a storm. Keeping them on the shelf for a bit. Lots of talking. Only I know what I'm saying, and hope everyone else catches on soon. xo

Oh Darn It...

Ugh...don't you just hate it when this happens?

Six Months Old...

and all is well.

This is More Like It!

I (I mean my staff) made the executive decision to ditch the crib and opt for this cozy cozy model. The only rule I need to follow is to stay put when the lights go out. So far so good. :)

Oh Me Oh My!

It's time for me to bid adieu to my crib. I am SO ready for my big girl bed. This is gonna be G-R-E-A-T!

Poor Pop!

Well, she made it all the way to the floor and didn't make a peep other than the inital *thud*. Her favorite friend, "Coolie" is still tucked under her chin while Lambie got left in the dust (see bed pillow). Glad the poofy pillow was there to gather her up. :)

Silver Spoons ...

My first taste of cereal on my very own Gillian spoon. I think it's the tops! Thanks so much for the silver spoon Great Uncle Rick and Aunt Paulie. I love it!!!!

Merry Christmas to All!

Lots of love from the little us' to all of our yous.

Us...Out...

Ahhh to be part of the adult world. If only for a while. We went to a fund raising auction for Jorja's preschool. It was quite the to do about town. We had so much fun!

YEAH!

IT'S MY C-A-P-E!

L'Hiver est Arrivé

It's true it's true! The snow and cold chills of winter are here. We miss the warm sun of San Diego, but nothing screams Christmas more than snow falling outside while the tree is being dressed in lights inside. We love it!

Naughty or Nice?

Well... I hope he wasn't looking when I filed Gigi's forehead with my mom's emery board, or put all my weight on top of her, or when I hit her on the head with a bottle, swept her face with my broom, or spun her around in her jumper..oh shute. It's not looking too good for me. Yikes!

Uh-Oh!

It's ok sweet baby! This just has to be done. (This little red silky outfit was worn by Gigi, her big sister and her mommy (33 years ago) on all of their first visits to Santa. See December 2005 for Jorja's pic.)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yep. Here we all are feeling mighty full. Do we have to wait until next year to eat that much again? No you say? Christmas is right around the corner? Oh...yeah!

Well I'm Here

and there's not much I can do about it 'cept sit back and relax. I think I like my bath, but I am entitled to be a bit of a skeptic once in a while.

POW-KA-CHOW!

And with a single flick of my wand I hereby abolish all naps from my kingdom. *poof*

What's that you say? It's nap time? Darn wand must be on the fritz again.

Can You Even Believe It?

I am even getting big enough to be in this jump and jump with some minor assistance. Thanks pillow for settin' me right.

Yep...

She's MY Gra'ma Carol. Not yours. Unless you are Jason, Zach, Vivian, Gigi or Zoe of course.

What's Up Cuz..inssssss?

The very first photo of all the cousins together. Oh Jason and Zach..get used to being surrounded by girls. You guys are SO lucky! From the tip top and around..Zach, Jorja, Jason, Viv, Gigi and Zoe.

The Gehrnagmay Family Photo

It's all of us Gehrings, Nagys and Mays aaallll squished together for a rare photo op. We had a great time celebrating Vivan's very first birthday. Love you Viv babe!

Jammies for Everyone!

Glory and I have a great tradition of wearing the same jammies whenever we get to see each other. We have done it since as long as I can remember. Gigi and my new cousin Vivianna will do it too. Jammies all around! (And yes, my finger is near my nose. Doesn't mean I am going to use it. But let's face it, I probably will.)

My Little Schmoopsies....

Gigi: "Do we have to put up with this? Honestly!"

Jorja: "Gigi, just smile politely. It will all be over soon and we can go back to what we were doing."

At Least Half of Us Are Smiling

You never know what kind of picture you are going to get with a two year old and a four month old around. That is part of what keeps it all interesting. :) Happy Fall!

Happy Halloween Times!

Like Sister, Like Sister

Hey, I think I make a pretty good Tootsie Roll. I know Jorja wore this costume too, but I think it was made for me.

A-MAZE-ING!

This is my dear pal Mary's house. She and her family live on THE hardest hit street in Rancho Bernardo. All but two houses on her street were lost to the fires. It looks as if nothing ever happened. The Gods were definitely smiling down on them. :)

We Love You San Diego!

Please think powerfully good thoughts for my favorite city in the world. We have lots of family and dear friends living there who are dealing with wildfires for the second time in four years. xoxox

I'm Happy Being Me

Just Taking It All In.

Hook 'em!

Say What?

You mean Jorja is out of diapers now? I am the only one? That can't be right. We were doing so well ganging up on you two. Big sis, we have to talk!

Hot Diggity Dog!

I'm a whole three months now!

Hey Gigi

Look at you go! You are getting so big already!

I'm So Proud of You.

Yep...

I'm going to school. It's my first day. I have all my gear. Inside my backpack is my bike helmet, a change of clothes, and a sweater.

Makin' Myself Comfy

Nothing like a pair of high heels and a little bit of bijoux to make a gal feel right at home.

Me and Bianca

This is my cousin Bianca (well my second cousin really). She is the most fun girl. I had a great time playing with her. Can't you tell how important I feel? See you at Christmas Beezer!

Hi To You Mr. Autumn

It's fall even if it is a little sad to say goodbye to summer. There is so much fun stuff to do this time of year. I for one am jazzed.

Yahoo!

A bottle for Gigi means the occasional freedom for her parents! She took to it like the professional baby that she is. :)

Ladies in Red

Hey Gigi what's the big idea? You wanna be like me or sumpthin'? Can't says I blame you. Just so you know, RED is our Mom's favorite color. Lucky for us we look good in it.
