Happiest baby ever

Francesca and Grandmommy communicate peacefully and lovingly

baby in the highchair! (she has a little room to grow in it...)

thinking of the sweetness at lunchtime

hey what do you know, it's a happy Thursday morning!

tough baby--watch yourself!

good morning Wednesday!

sweet little angel

Happy morning with Grandmommy!

sweet pea of a thousand expressions... grandmommy Marsha is on her way to see you!

dancing with daddy

more singing -- or something. . .

video quality not so hot, but you can hear what daddy calls her "baby dinosaur noises...

After extensive research

bebe Frost Trahan has discovered the most comfortable position and the most comfortable place to be...

Experimenting

Parents practice intermittent positive reinforcement in the ad hoc Skinner box. Daddy says Grandma Ellen will particularly appreciate this caption, for some reason.... All behaviorism jokes aside, she just looked cute in the box, which Grandmommy Marsha got her, officially known as a 'travel bed.'

suh kewt!

daddy changed her into a more traditional patriotic outfit...

Now she really embodies the spirit of America because she is clean and about to go to a yard sale...

clean baby!

A sweet, self-expressed llittle girl embodying the spirit of America on her first 4th of July morning...

Francesca finds the socks comment thread amusing. But it is so darn hot she can hardly think. She had been given to understand before she moved here it was cool and rained all the time....

Only a dad...

could possibly put these huge socks on baby. mom thought this was hilarious when she picked her up from daycare. She wore them all day...

Happy July 3rd! It's someone's 4 month old birthday today...

Another edition of mom's lunchtime album pics... we miss you Uncley Austin! And check out the long baby-- love how she seems to be spreading her wings via her toes...

intense happy baby

hangin' with mom and the bee before mom goes to work

Francesca was glued to every page of "Guess how much I love you" ... ok, maybe not every page but she liked it! and mommy loves it... mommy's so hormonely juiced she choked up on the last page! ....

extreme scrunching, 15 seconds later. she was in the bouncey only a minute before this activity began,for the record. safe to assume she did not want to be in there at that time, thank you.

new development: extreme scrunching in the bouncey

Francesca pauses for a moment of reflection... which hand to suck next? decisions, decisions...

The active wear ensemble encourages a ready to roll attitude, Francesca finds....

The Nana sun visor has a bonus nap-aid function!

Someone who loves Francesca very much (named Nana) went to Miami Beach and got her this shirt... (and sun visor!)

'My finger may be small, but I can still wrap my Daddy around it!'

From Papaw and Nana...the shirt says, "I have the coolest Grandpa...I know 'cause he told me!" ... classic! She wears it well, no?

dreaming of Grandma Ellen's next visit...Happy Birthday Grandma! Francesca kept reminding dad to call yesterday but somehow the day got away from him... we love you! xoxo

sweet cherry pop on dad's lap

just look at this face...mmmwha!

It's Wednesday--hurray!
