Gemma warms up

Gemma is kind of a rough cookie. Several factors are at play here:

1. She has never been a snuggler. She isn't much if a sitter. She is more of a get up and go kind of girl who is busy, busy, busy. She doesn't really want to sit with me for any length of time except on very very occasions. She'd much rather be out climbing, running and chasing the big kids.

2. To a smaller degree, she is a little shy. She likes people, but not lots of people all at once. Unless you are her siblings. Then you can be in her face and as loud as you'd like.

So, when she does warm up to people, it is a very big deal. My family has spent the last few days working on her and after four days we had some success.

Success was so exciting it required documentation!

Gemma's first plane ride

Me and my sidekick flew to Grand Forks today in order to attend my grandpa's funeral tomorrow morning. Gemma was a good girl on our two flights. Mama was superwoman and hauled a diaper bag, a suitcase, a carseats and umbrella stroller. And a 25 pound baby with a mind of her own! Big thanks to daddy for taking on the big kids so mama can be with family!
