This is a seriously cute Annie doggie...

Francesca got a sweet card and present from Papaw...thanks Pawps! :-)

Where did you get YOUR hat?

Francesca is a social hat wearer. She will wear one if you are...

Canada Day!

The Frost Trahan family with Canada Day organizer, and genuine Canadian, Sarah Rothenfluch.

Francesca eats Canada day grub. Mainly cheddar cheese. It's good, eh.

Later in the afternoon, after watching bigger kids play hockey, Francesca tried out her skills with a baby hockey stick and a balloon.

A Canada day balloon, aka, Francesca hockey puck. Use your imagination, eh!

Francesca and Daddy pose with "Tom-A-Hawk", the mascot for the Portland Winterhawks, an actual bone fide hockey team in Portland. This was actually the happiest she was around the bird. For the rest of our time at Canada Day, whenever "Tom" came within 5 feet of her, she was in various states of unease — one time she burst into tears when he got within touching distance and waved to her. . . (As if to say, "What the heck is that thing, eh?!) It is a pretty weird looking thing after all, when you think about it.

Francesca loves her new Canada bear. It is one of only two bears in her animal collection.

A better photo of Canada bear, pictured here relaxing in Francesca's high chair, after the festivities. . . Next year though, we are going to win that quiz. Watch out, eh.

OOOoooh! the outfit!!

Goooood Morning Sunday! Stay tuned for the cute Sunday outfit... we are going to church for the first time in months. And later to a Canada Day celebration that mommy's Canadian boss organized, who incidentally, has the good taste to be a blog reader! :-)

Yes Virginia, there really is a summer! (Whooo HOOOOO!)

It's laundry day! (one of many...)

Francesca takes a peaceful snooze after a vigorous day of play at Growing Seeds...

Francesca vigorously communicates she is all done!!

Francesca plays some vigorous fisher price piano...

Good morning big girl Francesca! (more successful PA --potty action--this morning!)

Francesca models more Pawpa and Nana booty. Cute pink shorts hidden by cute but comically large pink CNN T-shirt. (We love the fish and baby brother booty too--so so sweet!!)

The sock model... cool rainbow fish socks from Nana & Pawpa's trip to the Atlanta Aquarium!

Good morning Sunshine and ready for Wednesday!

The potty chair in question. (Cleaned out!)

Francesca takes a bath after a historic first pee on her new potty!!! We have NOT been pushing it at all, we just got it because Growing Seeds said she sometimes wanted to sit on the one at school and we thought can't hurt. Could be fluke, who knows but of course we are taking it as yet another sign of her brilliance.

Francesca helps mom with the bills on the way to worl. She is SUCH a helper!

Francesca plays sweetly by herself with her musical stars...

Let's read!

Hello everybody! Francesca offers instruction on embracing the day!

Happy Father's Day!!!

ah, this is the life...

One of three parks we went to during the nice sunny day before it started raining at 5ish, just as we were getting home,perfect timing!

maybe this side is easier...

whee!

She made it half way up! Later we played on the teeter totter with this sweet little neighborhood girl on the left.

Happy toddler doing errands with mom and dad...

Francesca got a big ouchie this morning--she fell crawling down from the bed and then bammed her head on the bedframe. Good thing she's a resilient little trooper!

Francesca says, have an A #1 Awesome day! Why not?!

Presenting Baby Boy Frost Trahan!

foot

So far, he is big for his age. At 15 weeks, 5 days he is the size of 16 weeks 3 days... all parts of him measure perfect. We think he has particularly handsome brains and kidneys and his heart is gorgeous. Some names he might have... Ari, Blaise (pronounced "Blaze") Emerson, Henry, Rainer (like the mountain), Sebastian, Immanuel, Terrance (Scott's late father's name), Augustus and/or Augustine/August/Gus, Julian, Theodore/Theo/Teddy. Any favorites we should be considering? Feel free to comment!

It's a great day!

yogurt for breakfast,again?
