This little dream is (more than) seven months old. The days between 6 and 7 months felt packed with milestones for Leo. She started eating solids and loves to feed herself fistfuls of whatever we put on her tray (my favorite thing is to watch her carefully try to pick out her favorite blueberries amongst whatever else is there to eat). She started to get into a consistent nap routine, with 2 hour stretches, twice a day. She’s army crawling EVERYWHERE and learned to sit up unassisted. She loves to pat me on the back to get my attention when she’s laying next to me in bed and I’m sleeping or if someone else is holding her and my back is turned to her. Leona is a screamer - and has found her voice in a way that we don’t remember her older siblings ever doing. It’s straight up teradactyl screeching over here. Besides her signature screech, she started making some “da da” sounds but isn’t it using it intentionally yet and likes to make a sound like she’s rolling her “R” in spansih. She’s just started to have a little stranger danger and gets unsure when new people want to hold her (but still loves to flash smiles to anyone who says hello). She’s also started to do a little bounce dance when she hears music that makes us all laugh and she’s got two little tiny baby teeth that have just poked through on her bottom gums. We love her deeper than the sea.
