Playtime with Jack & Hannah, visits to the park and trip to Sara's

Our delicious baby boy is now 7 months old and we have had a busy couple of weeks with [ and without :( ] Daddy.

I have found that Max is more willing to try crawling if he's put within reach of a toy. Like his cousin Jack, balls are a favourite.

Our son is a secret spy!

I love this with the hand on the chin - so old fashioned

This was taken in Sally's garden while I babysat Jack and Hannah with Max. Here Jack decided he wanted to play with the rolly balls toy Max was playing with, but he gave it back very sweetly right after this shot. :) Good boy.

Jack brought out this tip-truck especially for Max - sweeeet!

Jack and Max playing poke-a-nose

Cute hat

"Aaah! Save me from the Jack Jack Monster Mummy!"

I'm giving Max fingers foods now he's 7 months and have had most success with the soft rusks and apple flavoured rice cakes, he wasn't convinced by the toast this morning. He will copy pretty well if you mime chewing and say "chew chew" or "num num". Clever!

At the park near Sally's. See video!

This is the legendary and ancient cat Ernie! He is 18 years old! I was so pleased to see him still here at Sara and Marcus' this weekend.

This is Arnie who is one of their new cats, the other is called Mimi (!) but he was a 'fraidy cat...

Uncle Steve tickling Max with his mass of 70s rock star curls!

Jack loved the cats and sat still and quiet for a while to stroke Ernie who loved the gentle petting.

This is one of my favourite photos EVER! Steve and Max just before a really sweet kiss! Max will stay still with mouth slightly open now for kisses. Cute cute cute!

This is Max playing with Daddy's practise nunchuks (don't worry, they're foam padded and he was supervised so couldn't hurt himself!)
