Birthday at the zoo

Frances turned one (two weeks ago!). It was a beautiful day, so we went to the zoo! Lucas loves to take pictures so I decided to give him one of our old cameras. He took all the pictures below, except for the two he's in and the very last two pictures of Frances. I did no editing! He is going to be a great photographer some day! Heck! He IS a great photographer! Happy Birthday, Frances! 

Frances is 1!

Our baby turned one last Sunday. We had an eventful weekend. Friday we went bowling, Saturday we had her birthday party, and Sunday we went to the zoo - It was a beautiful sunny day :) She is now almost 18 pounds (17.12 to be exact), she has 7 teeth, walking everywhere, starting to climb (has fallen off a few things so far), loves to dance and sing, enjoys swimming, and most of all LOVES her big brother. We are very proud of her.

Baby's heart

two and a half weeks old

eleven and a half months old

Frances had her one year check up with the cardiologist. She is doing great. The holes in her heart are closing. Couldn't get any pictures of her getting her ultrasound, so above, is Frances getting her EKG.  The upper hole (ASD) is almost gone and her lower hole (VSD), which was the most concerning one, is 1.5 mm, which at her two week appt. was 4 mm. So! All is looking good! She goes back in two years, hopefully to see that her holes are completely closed. :) Yeah!

Walking!

Hanging Out

Here are a few favorites over the last few weeks.  

Happy February 1st!

We're off to the airport!!!!!!
