13th month

Francis apologizes for taking nearly a month to update his loyal fans on his activities. It's been a fun-filled Fall so far. Francis travelled to South Carolina at the beginning of the month and got to hang out with August and his dog. He took his first trip to Congaree Swamp while there. He's now well supplied with new clothes for the colder months ahead thanks to Jackson, and is modelling many of them below.

Back in Nashville, Francis has been playing in the yard as much as he can before the weather gets cold. Below he can be seen pointing at the neighbor's dog, pushing his walker, dressing in Hawaiian shirts with daddy, showing off his new PJs, playing in the bag of recycling, and playing with a model train set at the pediatrician's office (not realizing he was about to get stuck 5 times).

Francis went out looking for some pretty leaves this past weekend and, as is apparent in the photo below, was disappointed when it was time to leave. He looks forward to returning to Columbia for Thanksgiving.
