frances' firsts

because this isn't our first...we recognize the sometimes forgotten window of "new baby". this is when your new bundle of joy sleeps...incessantly. if you are a new parent, you worry, wake the baby up, call the physician, etc. if you are a third time parent...you take advantage of this small window and escape the house!!

this is why on monday afternoon (when frances was a mere four days old) she had her first trip to the park. she thoroughly enjoyed it! ;)

she also has experienced what clif refers to as "daddy's little newspaper". of course, this is just the outcome of my amazing swaddling technique!!

we also took the whole family out to eat. the first time we have heard the words "day party of five"!

and i'm not sure if this is frances' first, but it is definitely part of her everyday life...a little cuddle time with big sister, vivian.
