The Price I Pay.

Pacifiers were never my thing. My ring finger is. So now I have a huge blister. It got so totally gross. My Doc had to drain it and put this bandage on my hand. I am a little proud of it. So, I have now switched to my pointer finger. Same hand by the way. La dee da..hum dee dum. Take that people. I got nine other digits waitin' in line. Try to stop me!

Don't Worry Gra'ma Carol...

I've got my seat belt on and if I fall, I'm taking him with me.

Something Mommy Just Doesn't Get

Mommy, let me tell you something, sometimes you tell Jorja to leave me be, but what you don't know is I love any attention from her I can get. The more the better. She is just the coolest sis.

Playing Side by Side...in PEACE

A place for each and each in her place.

Look at Me.

I feel big. Yeah. That's all I have to say. Big.

Meet Eric.

We found him roaming the streets of Seattle and decided to keep him! I kid. I kid. Eric is a domesticated rat, and has never lived a day of his life on the skids. Those in the know...know rats are kick a** pets. To meet him is to like him.

T-H-R-E-E

Oooooo weeeeee peeps...I'm three. That means the same as holding up 3 fingers (for my non spelling more visually inclined cohorts).

Me and My Shadow

Sit. Adjust. Pray. Attack.

Tiiimmmeeee ttoooooo EAT! It's about to get ugly up in here! Stand back if you don't want to get messy.

Remember These?

OK, so when is the last time any of you over 10 have actually thrown yourself down a "slip-n-slide? Been a few years? Next chance you get...don't do it! It is a talent reserved for the super young. The grass and belly burn....OY!

It's Not a San Diego Beach but...

I like it right fine. Wading pools in Seattle come on in full force and we love hanging out in them from time to time.

The Ups and Downs of Growing...Up

One of the downs, but I did ssssoooo great. You would all be proud of me. I got X-rays, a cleanin' a flossin' and a polishin'.

Happy USA is #1 Day!

Here we be in our Fourth of July finery. We hung out allllll day on our family's farm, and celebrated our special and wonderful country. Special thanks to our Uncle Trent (CAPT USMC), CAPT Stuart Glenn (USMC), and the countless others who put their lives on the line to keep us safe, free, and able to think and say whatever what we darn well please.

Happy First Birthday Gigi Girl!

We all love you so very much. Thank you for choosing us as your family and for a great fabulously fun first year. xoxo, Daddy, Mommy, and Jorja.

One.

It Must Be All Hers If It Has Her Name On It.

You Want a Piece of Me Cupcake!?

Ooooo yeah...didn't think so. You are ssssoooo history! Mmmmmmwwaaaaaaaa.

Is That It?

Hey you gonna finish yours big sis?

It's Summer.

Y-e-ssssssssssss!

Um...Ex-kuuuuzzzz Us!

Yeah. Um...this is an A and B conversation. Just C your way out of it. Thanks.

An Ar-TIST?

We know it's in her blood for several generations back, and this gal looks like she got them drawing genes. Pretty good for almost three I say.

Awwwwww....

This is my daddy, and I like him a whole really lots.

Gorgeous with a Capital "G"

Aaaaaaaahh Yosemite. There really is no place that even comes close. We had such a perfect day just taking in all the splendor and hanging out with the waterfalls.(That sounded a little crunchy didn't it? What has become of me?! Must be all that living in Seattle stuff).

No Paparazzi...Please!

Sheesh. Caught on camera yet again. What does a gal need to do to get a siesta around here?

SUPPA F-L-Y!

Yeah. Uh..huh..that's right I got mega big air. Notice my form. Pretty sweet if I do say so myself.

SNAP!

I'm 11 whole months now. I am trying to walk (with the help), saying a few words, weigh 18.2 pounds and am eating my family out of house and home. I love my big sister and our favorite thing to do (much to the pleasure of my mom and dad) is have screaming contests in the car or while we are eating. It is so much fun.

Happy 5th Anniversary!

Five down...at least 45 to go. But who's counting! Love you Matt!

Get. OUT!

Dear Mommy and Jorja, I love you two but this is MY bed. I am not happy about sharing it (notice my red eyes of fury). Please get out. ~Thanks and get out, Gigi. P.S. Get out!

Zzzzooo-eeeee..Pig-Pig-Pigs!

It is our favorite part of the day. Whatever meal it is, we are there and prepared to do some damage.

Do You Have Visible Pores? Dry Skin Got You Down?

Well, ladies have I got a product for you. Let me come in. Sit down, and I can tell you all about this miracle cream.

Something Fun for M-E!

Oh...MY...Gosh! This. Is. Going. To. Be. BIG FUN!

Oh Sweet Sun...

How we love thee. Please stay for a while. I think you will like it here in Seattle. Really, you will. We promise. Please?

A Baseball Afternoon

Looks like our daddy has his hands full. We like it this way!

Doing What We Do Best

We like to eat. We like to make messes. We LOVE to eat while we make messes and make messes while we eat.

Me and My Jan-Jan

Just doin' our thing. I have a blast with her. She likes jewels almost as much as me.

All Curled Up

I was like this for the first 9 1/2 months of my life, and still like to hang on to my toes. I could be carried around like this alllll day long.

Like....Hi...OK?

Like I'm totally biz. So can you check back later and maybe I'll be like available. Mmmm K?

The Gehring Girls

Fresh Off the Showroom Floor

This here is my new trike! It is so shiny and has that new trike smell. I have been riding bikes at school all year and it feels great to have one I don't have to share! Yay ME!

CIAO PRINCIPESSA!

Oh...hmmmm. Seems I always see Jorja wearing this, but I think I rather like this look myself. It suits me to a "D", as in DIAMOND.

At the Schoolhouse

I am almost done with my second year of school. I can't believe it! Only 22 more years to go. My favorite things about school are dressing up (as you can see), pedaling the trikes, and painting.

Sisterly L-O-V-E

Gosh Gigi, I just love you ssssooooo much. I just have to sqqqquuueeezzeee...I mean... errrrrr you are so cute. Let me tighten my grip. Don't want to let you go, you little puddin' you!

Gigi Girl

Charlotte.

SO unsuspecting. SO trusting. My mom got her clean though. That is what moms do. They clean stuff.

Well....

I really have not a thing to say about this. Guess I was just a little bored during my "relaxing times". At least I chose washable markers.

I'm Pretty Proud of Myself

Nine months..and alllll is swell. I weigh in at 17.0 pounds, love my finger foods, have started demonstrating my sign language skills, and can kind of say the word "book". Am I crawling? Nope. And quit asking me. I love to stand and see the world as you do, not as bugs do. Sorry, I'm just a little sensitive about that.

Somehow This Makes it A-OK

I have a fever. A fever I have. I will say having my favorite snack, juice, my cozy soft blanket, and The Little Mermaid are all a girl needs to be set right again.

That's R-I-G-H-T!

This is ringing true! She does not. I repeat, does not like to be on the sidelines. Thanks for the very telling onsie Auntie Kara!
