While he’s cute, he does want lots of attention. It’s become his new need. He needs food, diaper changes and lots of hugs and tickles.

He’s been really sweet of late. Lots of smiles, giggles and loud talking.

Trish is clearly faking it, but it wouldn’t surprise me if she’s really asleep either. It happens. To her more than me, but there’s been a few Fridays when I’m spent at the end of the week that Frank ends up putting me to sleep.

First, he’s too damn cute. But second, he goes right for the face. He has fingernails like a badger! But it’s cute, and I let him win. Occasionally. Sometimes, I’m on him like white on rice.

Sorry, but I gotta call it. Frank’s usually pretty photogenic, but here, he’s clearly between looks. He’s even got a hint of cross-eyed babyness happening.

Today, my mom told me I was a good dad. Which was very touching. She also said she can tell I really love Frank and that we’re going to be best buddies. I have no idea what she’s talking about. As you can tell from this photo, I clearly detest the [...]

This is one of his new looks. He also is starting to shake his head no. Not to say no, mind you, but that’s what it looks like. Either that or he has an earache. I hope he’s learning to shake his head.

Can’t recall if I’ve updated everyone on the sleep sack, but it works great. Frank goes to sleep in it without much of a problem. He’s a great sleeper. Takes 15 minutes or so to get him down and he stays down. Like a boxer taking a dive.

Eight months. Boy that went fast, and didn’t. He’s awesome and we love him.
His grandparents love him as well. We visited Trish’s folks prior to them going on a cruise. Next time, we’re sending Frank! Not really, we’ll go on the cruise and leave Frank with the folks.

Frank was reluctant to get his picture taken today. He was a squirmin worm. But I finally got him. Just for that, I’m giving him my cold.
