The Fermi-LAT has collected over two years of nearly continuous photon data since its launch in June 2008. These continuous observations allow us to study long-term timing behavior of pulsars, including timing noise and glitches. While pulsars are well modeled steady clocks, large jumps in rotational frequency ("glitches") can occur. These glitches are thought to be due to a sudden transfer of angular momentum from a seismic event, and studying glitch parameters can illuminate neutron star structure. We present glitch information on the thus-far observed 11 glitching Fermi-LAT gamma-ray pulsars from the first 2 years of operation, including glitch parameters and a variability analysis.
