Mackenzie: 7 Month Update

Our sweet, happy girl is 7 months old! Mackenzie is such a cutie these days, she turns heads everywhere we go. "Those cheeks!!!" is something we hear a lot. We love our chubby girl! 
She has changed SO much just in the last few weeks. She has decided that she no longer needs her pacifier, doesn't need to be rocked to sleep, and loves being on her tummy more than her back. We aren't complaining! 

Kenzie is also very close to sitting up on her own. She loves sitting up and playing with her toys. She will grab onto anything you put in front of her, whether you like it or not! 

Last week we drove to California, and Kenzie did great! She was so happy every day, and LOVED all the attention she got from her grandparents and friends. She did really well in the car, except for two blowouts, and a few stretches where she screamed for like 20 minutes before falling asleep. 

Here's how other things are going right now...

Kenzie Likes:
Scooting backwards in the walker
Sitting up by herself (with a little help)
Giggling at her sister
Drooling (going through 4+ bibs a day)
Falling asleep during bottles
Pooping at inconvenient times 
Tummy time (Never thought this day would come!)
Waking up around 3 am, just to kick her feet a little

Kenzie Doesn't Like:
Driving across Nevada
Being in one position for too long
Outfit changes
Taking long naps

I can't say enough how lucky we are to have such a sweet spirit in our home. I seriously had to sit and think for a long time of what to write for Kenzie's "dislikes" because she really is a happy girl. I love every minute I get to spend with Kenzie, and her sister too. 

I know I've been saying this for awhile, but I'm pretty confident that we'll have the girls sleeping in the same room by next month. Now that Kenzie is putting herself to sleep, it seems more possible. I'm also predicting that by the next update, we will have a crawler and a sitter.
