McKynzie 7 Months and Thanksgiving

I'm a little late on McKynzie's 7 months last week, but it was Thanksgiving so we're lucky I took pictures at all.

She is a mover and a wiggler. She scoots on her tummy all over the place and is much quicker than you think. She is starting to try harder to get her tummy of the floor but she forgets to move her hands and so just falls on her face. But she is getting there. While I am excited to watch her learn, I don't really think we are ready for a crawler.

She still is not a great sleeper, getting up at least twice a night. And if anyone but mommy comes in to comfort her she just yells louder. If we let her yell too loud she wakes up Josslyn who will never go back to sleep so I'm just used to being quick and grabbing her. Fortunately she just wants to eat and go back to sleep.

She doesn't really have much interest in baby food. She's just kind of like, eh...whatever. So we're working on mommy not being the only one who feeds her.

She really is the happiest kid. She loves to smile and play. She is always quick to giggle and scrunch up her nose and smile big at you. She loves to wave and play with Josslyn.

Last week was also Thanksgiving which is by far my most favorite holiday. I just had to make my girls matching outfits and they looked pretty cute if I do say so myself. Josslyn wasn't feeling great that day and so was kind of grumpy, but we all still managed to eat a lot of food so I'd call that a success.

We put up our Christmas tree this weekend also and so far McKynzie is doing great! She really likes to look at it and smile at the lights. She hasn't grabbed too much at it and I think she is doing better than Josslyn who keeps taking things off and running around singing Jingle Bell Rock. I don't have much experience with a mobile baby at Christmas, Josslyn was one at her second Christmas and was much more interested in the presents underneath, so it will be interesting to see how a baby reacts to everything.
