Milestones....

Just when you thought you might lose your mind from sleep deprivation, feeding frenzies, and diapering disasters...they learn a new trick: smiling.

Our little rug-rat is growing up so quickly...its hard to believe we're already 7 weeks into this parenthood thing! She's a generally a happy girl. She likes a party, the bath, and being outside. That's all we know so far...but then again, she's not quite sure what her interests are yet.

In a little aside - doesn't she look like Lisa? Here's Lisa at 4 months old and Frances at 7 weeks old.

Wacky stuff. Wacky stuff

Time Flies....

It seems that Christmas and New Year's have passed and I'll soon be back at work. On Friday, Frances will be 6 weeks old. Its so hard to believe. She's thriving and such a good baby -- we have little to complain about.



We had a nice Christmas...Frances went to church for the first time and then we hit Megan and Abi's annual Christmas Eve party. Frances was a major party animal, until she soiled herself and became the "party pooper".

Frances also went on her first airplane ride, after her Pappy got really sick in Mexico and had to fly home. She didn't get to meet him, because he was in intensive care...but she met


Uncle Robert, Auntie Jenny and Uncle Bob. Before returning home, we also had a visiting with Chris and Cynthia.
