Seven Months

Our dear Lena,

Baby girl, you are seven months old!  Our wee little lady is on the move, army crawling and scooting around, sitting on her own sometimes, reaching, grabbing, watching,  "singing"!  This month we've really begun to discover a vibrant and sweet personality. Lena, you have some drama! You know what you want and let it be known. But you are the most hopeful little girl we've ever known, watching hopefully as we eat our meals, opening your mouth for some like a little birdie. You are around 15 pounds and 26.5 inches tall. Your eyes are still big and blue. Your hair is growing slowly and seems fuzzier than Emmie's. Time will tell.  You adore the cats right now and have your own language that you speak to them. You love bright colors and things that move, lights and baths.  Emmeline is learning to share with you as you are beginning to enter her domaine. She often shares her most beloved items with you and still calls you "Nina".  You are talking a bit now too saying "Papa and baba and dada". You have two teeth and we think you are working on some more.  You are smart, watchful and earnest. We're praying that you will grow big and strong. How we love you sweet baby girl and how we love our two littles!
