Leo 7 Months

(Written in May 2014)

Leo may be Jack's doppelgänger but it is appearance only.

In the last two months his sweet disposition has begun to emerge and I can honestly say that he just a a happy baby.  Of course, like any little person, he has his good days and bad days but pretty much everyday he will offer up a huge gummy grin to any stranger who stops to say hi.  While out to dinner the other night, the owner asked if she could hold him (we of course obliged, who are we to turn down a free sitter even if for only a few minutes!) and he happily walked around with her for 10 minutes.


















At six months, I started him on solid foods and so far he has loved everything but his favorite it bananas with blueberries.

Bedtime is between 6:00 and 7:00.  He generally nurses around 3:30 am and back to sleep until 6:30 am.  Yes, he's getting up once a night BUT this I can totally handle ;)

In the last month, Leo has truly mastered the art of rolling and he doesn't stay in one place for long.  I don't see him crawling any time soon and after having one son that started walking at 9 months I'm okay if the second son takes his time on the mobility front!  He can also sit up unassisted for a minute or so before toppling over.  He's not in a hurry and I have found that this time around I'm not in a hurry either.

Despite the fact that he has been showing signs of teething for sometime, none of the little buggers have made an appearance yet.  And he continues to think his big bro is the funniest thing around :)
