Seven months in and our giggly girl is bursting with more joy than ever. Dakota babbles all day long, pronouncing her consonants with ease. She’s sprouted her first two teeth and her new favorite foods are zucchini, acorn squash and apples. Oh, and we have a crazy cat lady in the making.

Dakota has befriended Geppetto and Gemma whether they like it or not, screeching upon their arrival into a room and grasping fistfuls of fur as they pass by. There is something about those fluffy little kitties that will send her into spontaneous giggles without a moment’s notice. As soon as she gets the hang of crawling, we have a feeling they will be in trouble.
