7 months? Who me? No way man!

Christmas is around the corner and so is our trip home for Mackenzie's first Christmas. Family and friends will be blown away with the how much Mackenzie has grown. Not only is she saying "momma, dada, nana and mom", she is saying "hey". She talks all the time and her latest thing is to crawl to me when I get home and say momma and smile at me. It gets my heart all the time. She is growing into her own personality and developing too fast. She is crawling all over the place and is now standing up while holding on to something. She can also go from the crawling position to a sitting position and just wants to go!! I can't keep up with her. One minute she is in front of me and the next she is across the room getting into something. She has this attraction to the dog bowls and so it is always a battle to keep her away from them. She is beginning to understand the word "no" and does not like it. If I say it, she will look at me and either pout, or slam her hand down. I try so hard not to laugh, but how can I be so serious with an almost 7 month old baby?
Not only is she crawling and standing, but she now has her two top front teeth!!! I was loving her little gummy top smile, but now she has these two little, well big, white teeth coming which means new foods to try!! She had a rough few days when the teeth were coming in, but she like the trooper she is, took it and is back to her crazy self. Her new foods consist of waffles, chicken, mashed potatoes, sweet potato fries, and carrots, which really aren't her favorite, anything squash, bananas, avocados and well anything she can get her fingers on. She has also started taking a bottle from time to time which will help with our road trip to Canada. She does really good with car rides, but we are hoping that we knock out a few extra hours with out having to stop. Crossing my fingers and hoping it goes well!!
They say kids grow up in a matter of the blink of an eye, and I can honestly say, that is so true. I miss my little baby that once was, that is now a crawling machine!!!

Love mom
