Holy toledo... 7 months

I can't believe McKenna is 7 months old. The last couple of weeks in particular have flown by! And I miss blogging! Shame on me. 


We weren't in our usual location for her monthly picture.  It was actually in Disney World! We were just about to check out of our resort when I remember to snatch a few of these.... and didn't get too many and she was very preoccupied! I'll share some Disney photos in another blog.

McKenna is such a joy.  There is no greater satisfaction in this world than watching her bring smiles to people's faces... which she does all. the. time. She smiles at pretty much everyone, I counted 7 different strangers (old people to boot) that McKenna gave smiles at Publix yesterday.  I've learned not to bother telling people that, "yep, she does that with anyone"... it just makes people feel good to think babies like them.

McKenna isn't crawling yet, but I would technically say she is officially mobile.  She knows how to scoot around on her belly, or plop from sitting onto her belly in the direction she wants to go.  She also rolls back, front, back, front. There is no leaving her alone, even for a second! She thinks Mommy and Daddy are her personal jungle gyms. She is pulling up with just the tiniest amount of help. When you try to set her back down on her booty she stiffens her legs because she wants to be on her feet at ALL times.


She has a goofball personality. She is always playing and laughing and giggling. Everything seems to be a joke to her. I would say it seems like her hair is beginning to grow back, there seems to almost be a strawberry shade to it in sunlight. Her eyes appear to have turned brown, though in some lights they still have a greyish hue to them.  Her favorite "words" are da- da- da- da- da-.  There's no association to them yet (though I'm sure Daddy would beg to differ).


She is ALWAYS doing something... she would never sleep during the day if she had a choice. Naps have been difficult the last few weeks, I just tell myself she would miss me too much if she slept!

She hasn't disliked any food she's tried yet, but carrots, green beans, and apples seem to be her favorite so far. She did try Grandpa's smoked pork a couple nights ago and loved it too.

Her smile is heartwarming, her giggles are contagious.  I'm so proud I get to call her mine.
