September 26, 2013 indygrows September 26, 2013/ Francesca fiercely independent but very affectionate, always bestowing unrequested kisses and cuddles...loves to play with dolls and coo over babies...loves to play "the screamy game" which involves a post-bath nude rampage around the flat with Pablo...still not many words but she is impeccable at making her will known regardless!
August 26, 2013 indygrows August 26, 2013/ Francesca running... playing "the screaming game" with Pablo any chance she gets (lots of chasing, hiding, and excited squeals)... saying "I want that!" and obsessed with cats (lots of adorable "meow"s) ...also very naughty and headstrong and affectionate! We are so lucky.

June 26, 2013 indygrows June 26, 2013/ Francesca 15 months a huge leap in communication...real companionship and amazing levels of mischief with Pablo...fierce independence but also a lot of affection, cuddles and kisses aplenty...will drop EVERYTHING for a dance as soon as any music starts....her desperation to learn to jump is simultaneously comical and heartbreaking
