Frances is 7 Months Old!



This month, we don't have too many new Frances milestones to report. We've been enjoying the beautiful Fall weather in Chicago, knowing that all too soon we're going to be bundled from head to toe every time we step foot outside. Frances waves at things. Sort of a beauty queen parade wave with a graceful twist of her wrist. Its typically directed at herself in the mirror, other babies, either of us when we enter the room, Pollock, and some inanimate objects like the plant we just brought in from the deck for the Winter, and anything she wants to get her hands on.

She's getting closer to pushing up on her knees, but mostly still just scoots, pulls and rolls herself from place to place. She's actually pretty mobile for not being able to crawl! I can't leave her alone on the floor anymore or she ends up under a chair or backed into a corner in about 30 seconds.

And she just keeps getting sweeter.
