Applefest!

This past weekend was our town's good ol' fashion apple festival.  So we loaded up the stroller and met hub's family down there to eat some kettle corn, bbq, and drink apple cider and fresh lemonade.  Oh, also to shop.  Obviously.

We enjoyed the afternoon.  K-Mac got to sit on a tractor with her daddy which was pretty cute.  She also got a new bib, thanks to papa, and her mommy and daddy sure got a ton of new crafting ideas.  We really need to get cracking on all of that and the etsy store but we've been busy.

While we were there, K-Mac and I got on the swings too!  It's not the best picture, but it was nice that we actually have a picture of me with her!  I swear she is going to think that only hubs took care of her one day.  He's in so many pictures with her!!

When we got home, someone was still trying pretty hard to crawl around.  She does this thing where she gets on her knees like an inchworm and tries to push out while her hands are still up in the air.  Then, when her hands get down and she moves them to pull herself, she forgets to move her legs.  It's adorable to watch but after about thirty minutes, she's not happy, and she won't hesitate a single second to let you know all about it.

I know that crawling is not exactly a milestone.  Many kids never crawl and most learn to crawl backwards first.  I also realize that as soon as she is mobile, she's going to take off and get into everything.  People are always threatening me with the inevitable future.  The thing is, I have a handful of siblings and I've read a few books in my day.  I would not have had a baby if I wasn't ready for that.  I'm ready for the high energy, and I guess that is one of the benefits to having a baby earlier in life (but not too early!  Just in case K-Mac ever reads this..).  Back to my point, I can't wait to see her crawl.  She squeals with pride every time she rolls over or says dada.  K-Mac has the warmest smile I've ever seen and I can not wait to see what she figures out on her own next.

I'm sort of hoping she says horse next, because hubs said that if she does, we get to go pony shopping for her.  Yes, I'm setting my hopes high, but they never really fail me.

Seven Month Stories

I went back to school the day after my last blog post.

Obviously.

September 1st, K-Mac went to the fair!
K-Mac, Mommy, & Uncle David feed the camel!

Flash!

She was growling at the goats.

Ignore their scary eyes.  I swear we weren't feeding zombie animals.

Daddy and K-Mac after the long day!
On September 11th, we went to FAMILY DAY at Daddy's unit.  Another long drive but so much fun!
The diva didn't want to wake up..

But we met daddy's friends and rode in his special truck!

Woo hoo!

Driving.

Learning to be the gunner.

Hardcore!
Recently, K-Mac has started laughing a lot more, rolling over constantly, and trying to crawl.  She calls for "dada" on her monitor in the morning and makes "mmm" sounds when she wants something.  Some days she will reach for someone to pick her up and shows a preference to hubs and I over less seen friends.  Seven months and time is flying!
