Wow, Mackenzie just got tooth number 7 and tooth number 8...just one day apart. They are the sharp bottom teeth next to the front two teeth.
She has already practiced using them with her solid food. Fun, fun, fun.
I am a simple woman that believes God gives us gifts from heaven each and every day. Do we take the time to notice those gifts? I will talk about God, dreams, kids, nature, and health by using various means such as nutrition and essential oils, love, loss, food, fun and much more! You will hear about my different endeavors, challenges and harebrained schemes.

Oh Precious Sleep
I think Mackenzie likes to keep us on our toes around here! Just when we have a good routine going she changes things up on us.
Although she has never slept, she was doing better. She has had a very consistent bed time of 7:30 on the dot every evening for just over a month now (which is absolutely wonderful) but she does still wake up between 6:00 and 6:30 every morning...uggg. She is also only eating twice during the night (also wonderful), but she does stir or wake up three to five times a night...uggg squared.
But here is the kicker. For the past week she has gone to bed at 7:30, woken up around 10:30 to eat, then she cries for like and hour and won't go back in her bed. No matter how long we rock her or sing to her as soon as we lay her in the crib...BAM...she cries...forever! She has also been tossing and turning and whimpering and crawling in her sleep for the past week. I know she is trying to cut that 6th tooth, but this is ridiculous.
If you had told me I would have a 1-year old that still didn't sleep I probably wouldn't have believed you, but here we are still not sleeping. Huhhh?

Here is one picture of her having fallen asleep in my arm.
