That puppy stage will be over before you know it. I always try to nap when the puppy is napping. Puppies in our house are up early, and around 10AM I take them with me on the sofa or bed. I tell them that it is "nap" time (they learn this) and they almost always fall asleep for at least an hour, if not longer. I take a nap, too. Once they're up again, they go out and then have lunch. Then, around 2PM, it's time again for a nap (for both of us, if possible).

Sharing the nap-time helps with bonding and avoids exhaustion. :)

Any new pictures?

Temperament

The French Bulldog, like many other companion dog breeds, requires close contact with humans. They have fairly minimal exercise needs,[10] but do require at least daily short walks. The French Bulldog is sometimes called ‘Frog dog’ or a ‘Clown dog.’ Frog dog is in reference to the unique way they sit with hind legs spread out. Clown dog is because they are known to be fun loving vivacious ‘clowns of the dog world.’Their calm nature makes them an excellent choice for apartment dwellers, as do their sensible attitude towards barking.

Their bulk and their compromised breathing system makes it impossible for them to regulate their temperature efficiently. The French bulldog has only a single short coat.[18] What this all means for the dog is that it becomes very cold very easily. Also, they will very likely need to have some extra covering inside during the winter if you live in a particularly cold area. These dogs need warm clothing when out in cold weather. Precautions must be taken when exercising during hot or humid weather, as they are prone to heat stroke. It is also recommended that French Bulldogs who live indoors have access to air conditioning to regulate their temperature, provided the air conditioning is not set too low.[10]

Most Frenchies enjoy water, and can do so under close supervision or with a good canine life jacket.

French Bulldogs are very sweet, and make excellent companions.[10] The French Bulldog rarely barks, and if he does it is to draw attention, to point out that she needs something (like attention), or just because he is not happy he may give the “Frenchie death yodel.” This breed is patient and affectionate with its owners, especially with children, who are especially protected by the females. French Bulldogs can easily live with other breeds when the proper introductions are done.

They are ranked 58th in Stanley Coren’s The Intelligence of Dogs.[25] There are certain exceptions to this average level of canine intelligence; a French Bulldog named Princess Jacqueline which died in 1934 was claimed to understand 20 words, reacting correctly.

Here’s the thing, though. The intelligence of a particular dog is also very much dependent on good breeding, an involved owner and a positive and stimulating environment. An easy house-breaking experience is a good indicator of future behaviour and intelligence, imho. Little Louie is not only in very good hands, but it is clear that he is eager to please and has the ability to not only understand what is being asked of him, but how to accomplish it.

I haven’t seen the new movie, but I heard that it has already raked in a HUGE fortune.

I’ve seen trailers, and it looks great!
