Before Gloria had all the hand-to-face control as a baby... "Yo Yo Yo! I'd like to say 'what up G?' to all my homies out there."
The startle reflex in new babies is always fun...
Finding the fingers
With her aunt Lynn (Granddude's sister)
With her great grandmother Nina (Granddude's mother) in Maryland, who passed away this past month, God rest her soul
With Gramma Shell, who made the princess towel that she still wears today.
On our couch in Virginia.
Even while eating!
On my brother, Jonathan's, visit while he was stationed for a little bit at Quantico while we lived in Virginia.
In the White House courtyard! Too bad she won't remember it...
With Gramma Shell, aunt Adrienne (Gramma Shell's sister), mommy, and brother JB
In our apartment in Altus, OK. A temporary seating arrangement.
Looking guilty after coloring her face...
Reading with the grandparents...
Disheveled hair with blankie of course...the finger-sucking and blanket began to go together. So it was Gramma Shell's making of the soft-knit blankie that actually perpetuated it! :0)
After a good, but tiring day riding ponies in Colorado...All she needed was her blankie and her fingers...
And last, but not least...at bedtime in Derby, KS!
...And here's the big non-finger-sucking 4-year-old...princess!Gloria decided on her own accord that she was going to be a "big girl" and give up sucking her pointer and middle fingers. She was very proud of herself and told me I had to tell Gramma Shell because she was Gloria's biggest advocate of giving up the habit.
So this is a memorial of pictures to Gloria's dual-finger sucking. In addition, it was a fun time of looking back through pictures of Gloria and the rest of our family!
We don't have any pictures of her sucking her fingers in AL, even though she only quit in the past few weeks, but I think it's because we figured she was old enough NOT to be sucking her fingers while a pictures were taken.

Whoa, a whole slew of pictures!
Tamsey, that's hilarious that you found all those photos of Gloria sucking her fingers - an inspired memorial. Speaking of memorials, I didn't know that Nina had passed away.
Wow, Gloria! I'm so proud of you that you are a big enough girl not to suck your fingers! Now you are big enough to take a plane ride with Aunt Cami and come to Wings Like Eagles Camp! Way to go, Gloria!!
Love,
Grandma Shell
I sucked my same two fingers when I was a kid. They were good! I don't remember how or when I stopped.
What a fun way to look back on your precious princess...maybe we'll have to do the same thing when Caleb stops sucking his fingers...if he stops sucking his fingers! :)
Wow! I didn't realize she was such a big baby! She is very cute. :)
You got to go in the White House Courtyard? Fun.
Hey when are you guys moving?
