one month in and doing well

Francis turned one month old yesterday, and despite being very small and unpredictable, we've come a long way in figuring him out and taking care of him. We made his first "to do" list last week, and while he still needs to work on some things (such as losing his umbilical cord, learning to love his swing, and taking naps), he does most of his sleeping at night, has learned to use a bottle so long as Jessamine is not in the room, and grunts much less in his sleep. Francis is looking forward to learning how to smile and taking lots of walks before the weather gets too cold.

Getting fat (but unfortunately losing his pretty hair).































First international travel.




















Francis still has some growing to do before his overalls fit.


















A face Francis makes a lot.
















After 45 minutes of driving around, this was as close as we got to putting Francis to sleep.














Will's milk finally came in, but Francis was too smart for him.




















Success feeding Francis (who is full of air) once Jess stayed out of the room.
















A glimpse of things to come (that's spit you're looking at, not a tooth).
Francis is such a joker.

  1. I am so very proud of Francis...for learning to use a bottle and sleeping at night and posting pictures without me having to ask for them. I am also super proud of Will's lactation skills. It is harder than it looks.

  2. He is absolutely adorable. I'll be glad to take him if you decide to give him away. I'm so proud of you all. Can't wait to see him during Thanksgiving holidays.
