GG and Gee-ka

Well, Finley continues on his vocabulary rampage and added two more names to his repertoire while we were down in NY visiting his grandparents and celebrating my birthday.

Grandma Gilda selected the most toddler-friendly moniker months back with GG and Finley now eagerly points to his GG and calls her by name. Grandpa Murray first planned on being GM (to kindly coordinate with his spouse's choice) but then moved to GP (Grand-Pa) but clearly wasn't pleased with that either and soon after settled on Grandpa (and now has a great hat with his title stitched right on). We talk about GG and Grandpa as well as look at pictures of them from time to time, so their names are familiar to their grandson. Plus, Grandpa got a book from us for Father's Day that he could record his voice reading and then send back to Finley, which has been a HUGE hit at our house and was quickly named, by Finley, as the Gee-ka book. Yep, Gee-ka. When we saw Grandpa on Friday night and re-introduced Finley to his Grandpa, he quickly exclaimed "Gee-ka!"

So there you have it, Finley's set of four amazing grandparents now have amazing toddler

Gee-ka and GG & Dee-Da and Rammy

Now, only to convince current and future cousins that these names should stick...

We didn't take too many photos since Dan and I were out and about most of the time (taking in a Yankees game and having dinner in Manhattan for my birthday), but here are the three Forseter men and some close ups of Finley and his beloved Gee-ka after lunch on Sunday.
