Sweet Francesca before bedtime...

Francesca Margot, just hanging out in the crib.

Tuesday morning little drummer girl...

Francesca post carrots and post wheat mush

Francesca chills in new booster style high chair...

Fun to eat in the new highchair mommy got at Target!

we love shopping in our sweet pink cart pouch from Aunt Wendy!

out on the town with dad, papaw and mom

Francesca and Papaw read after dinner.

a couple more hours and the reintegration should be complete...

Francesca and Papaw get reaquainted!

So, so, so,so, SO much love...

Happy Sunday on top of pop! When Papaw gets here we can hop on Papaw Pop!

Thinking about yummy apple butternut squash!

Hurray for mush, hurray for us!

mmmm, not too bad!

mush: it's what's for breakfast.

Sometimes two really are better than one...

Francesca and Daddy model sweet new PJs!

Francesca, 'The Hand,' eats The Foot Book

Hello Sweetness!! thinking of baby during a very late lunchtime....

The Inimitable and Inquisitive Francesca Margot on a damp delicious Thursday morning...

'The Hand' strikes again!

Attempting to document toe sucking. No toe sucking, but some pretty good talking...

Francesca in the act of hopping on pop

These toys from Nana are some of the best yet! (Mom is looking at baby pictures at lunchtime again...)

Fresh face for a fresh day!

Hmmm, so much stimuli to process...

Francesca listens to Obama adressing the UN...She has some thoughts. She also still has a very cool and multifunctional hand.

Francesca approves of spinach and potatoes. She also sucked her toe twice during this feeding (really!) but I was too slow to catch her in the act.

Nana and Dad handle the hungry baby.

The Hand and The Nana play sweetly in the early morning...

ah break time...

Francesca helps mommy clean up the house... so much fun!

Francesca 'The Hand' Frost Trahan with her Nana

Back at home... relaxing with parents...

Guten Morgen, Barbara! Alles gut zum Gebortstag!

Francesca employs some severe tactics to get Barbara's real age out of her...

Francesca was quite smitten with Barbara, the visiting German Burns fellow at OPB whose birthday we are celebrating with a brunch at Eve's house.

Playing with Nana

Nana and Francesca on Sunday morning.



(Nana wanted me to mention for others who love Francesca but who may not see her as often as they would like... it did take a little while for baby to warm up and really remember Nana. Francesca is going through the first stranger awareness phase. We are not calling it anxiety. She is also going through some separation awareness... All good though, nothing too terrible. Of course. It is Francesca, after all.)

Nana has cool toys on her face!

Baby and Nana together again at last!

Sweet Saturday

Francesca watches the hand that feeds her...

We can't wait for Nana's visit tomorrow! ... There are cheeks to be squeezed!

Baby says, sir! yes sir!

Daddy says... give me 10!
