My little Frances is now 2 months old. It seems so strange because two months, when you look at it, is such a short period of time, yet it feels as if Frances has been a part of this family forever. Teresa will often cuddle with me while I am nursing and say "here we are mommy, a flamily." And we truly are no longer complete without our little Francie-pants. And Frances seems to be falling in love with her big sister. She tracks Teresa's movements, smiles when Teresa talks to her and grins when she gets hundreds of kisses a day. It has been beautiful to watch these two truly become sisters. They already have a connection and I hope it stands the test of time (and adolescence). Watching the two of them interact is a thing of beauty, and I am blessed to be a witness to it.
With the help of plenty of milk, cuddles, hugs and kisses Frances is thriving. At her last medical appointment she was a whopping 11 pounds and no longer fits her newborn sleepers. She now tracks movement and sound, coos, smiles back when you smile and has great neck control. She loves belly time and spends most of it trying to role or crawl, depending on her mood at the moment. Frances has also become a much better sleeper, with a distinct afternoon nap. She has been sleeping for 6-7 hours at night for a few weeks now, much to Ken and I's relief. Although the first month was tough, things have settled into a more even keel and I look forward to warmer spring weather, morning walks and fun in the park.

awww... munchkins together.
Frances looks ... inquisitive.
Two months already? Wow...
Teresa and Frantastic look very cute together - although F looks a bit dazed. Must be the flash. She'll get used to it soon enough!
Look at all that hair!
that does seem to be a theme with their kids, doesn't it?
