7 Months
I can't believe how old she is! It is really crazy how fast they grow. It was difficult to get a picture of Mackenzie with her bunny. She wouldn't stretch out for me so I had to do it myself (as you see in the picture).
Her stats:
We went to the doctor for Mackenzie's "6 month" appointment a week ago. The doc had a baby a couple months ago so it messed up our 4 month appointment. Then, I was gone to NC for what should have been the 6 month appointment, so we got exact numbers a week ago.
Weight- 15 lbs 2 oz. (yeah she gained 2 oz in a month, but the doc isn't worried so oh well).- 30%
Height- 27 inches- 90%
She is LONG AND LEAN!
At 7 months Mackenzie is talking all the time.
She is rolling over both ways and moving all over the floor.
She turns in circles to see everything around her.
She can feed herself little gerber puffs.
She reaches out for mommy and daddy when she wants us.
She gets so excited when one of us walks in the door when we haven't been around for a little while. By excited I mean she flaps her arms and giggles.
She loves food. But isn't extremely interested in nursing anymore.
She likes being tickled, sit on daddy's shoulders, and be thrown in the air.
She is now getting on her knees and rocking back and forth.
She scoots backwards and gets frustrated when she gets stuck against a wall or other object.
She is spoiled rotten by Daddy, but is ready for Mommy to stay with her all day. (only 1 more month!!!)
She has started undoing her diaper while we are trying to put her pants back on.
She is opening the wipe container and taking wipes out.
She loves to go on walks in her stroller. Daddy took her on a little trip to the river and she loved sitting by it and watching the running water. She actually cried when they left.
She rolls onto her tummy while we are trying to change her diaper.
Today I found her sitting up in her crib after her nap. She was crying so I went to get her and was so confused.
Daddy is teaching her how to clap and say YAY!!!
She loves singing the wheels on the bus, itsy bitsy spider, patty cake, etc.
She gets very mad when we leave the room when she isn't coming with us.
She still isn't sleeping very well at night, but we are doing all we can. Maybe one day it will get better!
That is all I can think of at the moment.

Feeding
Today Mackenzie learned a new trick. I was just giving her something to play with, but she decided to show that she is more developed than I thought.
Pretty impressive huh?!?
This is Mackenzie's First Blog
I let Mackenzie play on the computer because she was very interested. This is what she had to say!

My New Haircut
When I was home in NC, I got my hair cut. I was sick of my hair so it went from looking like...
to looking like...
So this must be a Rankin wife thing. My 2 sister-in-laws have both had babies (one is 9 months and the other is 3 months). I guess all of us had the same idea after we had babies. The only thing I don't love is that some days that I feel like being lazy I can't. I have to do my hair everyday.

Catch up
First, I need to go back almost a month! Yeah, it has been forever. Well at 6 months this is what Mackenzie looked like. She is soooo big. I actually forgot to measure how long she was, but I did weigh her at the doctor and she was 15 pounds exactly.
At 6 months old, she is a VERY happy little girl.
She has been sitting up on her own for almost a month.
She like to talk and is saying things like mamama all the time.
She squeals and smiles tons.
She still hasn't rolled from her back to her front.
She also started eating food (as you saw in the video) and she LOVES it.
The next big thing that has happened is that I went home to North Carolina for my Spring Break. I had a break from school and Adam had a TON to catch up on and to finish since his semester was at the very end.
So Mackenzie and I went home to NC and has a wonderful time. She loved hanging out with Papa (my grandfather). He is so good with kids. Mackenzie laughed at him basically the whole time he was around. In this picture Uncle Booba (Cameron) let Mackenzie try on his beany. She thought it was funny.
Mackenzie also LOVED watching Papa.
Mackenzie is having a little bit of a hard time going to the bathroom now that she has started solids, so she has been getting a bottle of apple juice/water everyday. She wants to do it all by herself and a lot of the time wants to use her feet to hold the bottle.
While we were at home, my mom and I had fun painting Mackenzie's toe nails. She is such a wiggly worm. It took both of us to get the nails painted. I entertained and held her while Mom painted. None of the pictures really turned out, but this is the best one for now.

She loves her high chair. I love it when Mackenzie finishes eating and just hangs out and throws her feet up.
Isn't she precious!
Mackenzie wanted Daddy's apple when he was done, so she played with it for about 20 minutes.
