McKay - 7 Months

I can't believe my boy is 7 months! We can feel a couple of teeth poking through his gums, he is VERY close to crawling (he is scooting around now), and he is extremely interested in everything and everyone around him. Every sound gets his attention, which can make meal times very interesting. He loves to eat (most foods anyway) and follows each bite up with an 'mmmmmmm'. You can tell he is getting full when the mmmm's slow down. He is getting really fast at grabbing things and often hits the spoon at the perfect time to dump its load on his tray (Daddy loves it when that happens!) On a typical day, McKay takes a 1 to 1 1/2 hour nap in the morning, a 2 1/2 to 3 hour nap in the afternoon, and another 1 to 1 1/2 hour nap in the early evening. He usually sleeps 9 - 9 1/2 hours at night. (too bad we don't get to sleep when he does!) Overall McKay is a happy, easy-going baby and we love having him in our home.

I took these pictures at my Grandma Cardon's house in Benson, Utah. McKay is sitting on the furniture my Great Grandpa Fullmer (Grandma's father) made for them when Grandma and Grandpa got married.

I was changing the water for my roses Sunday night and took a few of the most fragrant flowers in for Jordan and McKay to smell. McKay didn't quite understand though and thought he was supposed to eat it!

McKay loves the new toys Jordan brought for him from the competition. His favorite is the hammer, though he also likes the bulldozer.

McKay and I went to Preston, Idaho Saturday morning for Grandma Wright's funeral. McKay loved seeing so many of his attentive cousins. This picture is of McKay with his cousin, Erin Moser.
