Francesca at a baby shower

Pictures from Saturday's baby shower for little White Baer (April Baer's bebe!)

basking in the morning light

the shirt says it all

Francesca practices her symphony conducting.

Good morning on a Wednesday with sweetness...

Ha!

you think I can't eat this avocado by myself?

These poka-dotted mocacins are made for walking... And that is what she is doing!

Francesca eats eggs wearing both her big bibs...

Daddy and Francecsa share a breakfast moment...

Stolling with Daddy.

This is the face I often contend with when posting to the blog... She wants the phone. She really, really does.

She is still way in the abc song too...

Francecsa is way into her popper toy...

Balloons and more!

Fun on the couch.

Napping shot.

Breakfast shot.

Francesca is quite pleased when she gets to sit on a big person chair.

Francesca is Totally Walking

Mom accidentally pushed the wrong button so we didn't get the first few steps of this little jaunt but Daddy keeps count of the steps. Shortly thereafter she walked across the room for a total of 22 steps.



This is a little more realistic. The title of this video should be "OK, so Not Totally Walking All the Time" She IS walking but she's up and down a lot. All part of the toddler phase I expect.

The milk is definitely stopper worthy.

Is the water worth taking the stopper out for?

Ear breathing by Francesca. (This a frequent sleeping position.)

This struck Francesca's mother as completely emblematic somehow of this new toddler phase that has now officially and quite decidedly begun....

Playing on the bus at Kaiser...all in a day's baby work. (She had pink eye, which is not nearly as pretty as it sounds....)

Nothing can compare though, to the moon. . .

Francesca is way into her abc book, particularly the N page....nest.

a picture of Francesca in her new Nana jams. she is not as sad as she looks in this picture...

learning to eat all by herself!

Another function of aforementioned cart...

Francesca is loving her new little multi-functional cart from Esme!

Francesca practices her lunges.

You would not believe that this peaceful little girl was the same one who was screaming bloody murder just minutes ago protesting her bath.

One last goodbye from Uncle Austin...byebye and see you soon!

Frost Trahan bunch goes out to brunch

Francesca sports her abominable snow angel jacket.





Two versions of the foursome: one with stopper, one without.

Francecsa loved her Easter basket --handmade with love by Tutu Tripp, Grandma Tutu Ellen's best friend and all the fun stuff inside--rabbits and books and clothes, oh my!

Happy Easter everyone!

Francesca on her 3rd or 4th ride of the day.

Francesca loves her new easter duds ... thank you Pawpa and Nana!!

Francesca reads her easter card from Pawpa and Nana.

Francesca is happy to see Uncle Austin after her nap.

At last, she nappeth.

Exibit 33.84 A of Uncle - Niece bonding....

Francesca's first photo! She took this picture of Uncle Austin!

Francesca enjoys nature on her drive around the block.

Francesca fills us with glee... (!)

Francesca shows Austin how to turn the pages.
