First weekend on my own & first week without Daddy

Today Frank left to go out of town for work for the first time since Baby Frank was born. We sure do miss him already! Thankfully my Mom came into town to help me out while he is gone. We took Baby Frank to the doctor this morning to check on his weight gain, and the doctor said that he is doing much better. We are going to stick with the breastfeeding and continue to supplement with formula when he needs it. It was a huge relief to get this good news! The picture above is from this morning. It was really cold here, so I dressed Frank up in this cute cuddly bear jacket.

This weekend Frank did his military reserve training and left me alone to take care of Baby Frank. He was such a good boy this weekend--it made my job pretty easy! He has been sleeping so much better at night lately. The last two nights, he slept for a 4-hour stretch followed by two 3-hour stretches. He would probably have slept longer too if I had not woken him up to eat twice. He has been much happier and more content since we have been giving him formula after we nurse, which makes me a lot happier too!

On Saturday, my good friends Lindsey & Diana came up to Dallas from Houston with their boyfriends to meet Baby Frank. It was so good to see them! Lindsey brought me Starbucks and a cupcake, and Diana and Enrique brought Baby Frank his first Christmas presents! It was so good to see everyone and catch up. Baby Frank was a very good boy for his visitors. Here are some pictures from the weekend:
