New camera, new tooth & new crawling!

Hello! These are the first photos taken with my lovely new camera.

The video I intended to put up of Max pivotting and rolling didn't load on properly, so I'll have another go on the next post. He can now combat-crawl! Hooray! He's thrilled to be able to move himself about. Will put up a video of the new crawling on next post too.

Squeezing one of his new bath toys, called 'Octopals' which are great fun in the bath but also out of it because they push out air as well as water. He likes them very much.

Cutie!

Here it is! The first photo of the first tooth! It's come through a bit more now and he now bites on things with relish, including other people! Watch out! :)

Playing peekaboo through his bed bars - he was meant to be going to sleep!

Aunty M took this mid-meal; very cute - looks like he's conducting an orchestra!

One of my favourite pictures I've taken of Max, I don't know how he managed to get my handbag over his shoulder, but he carried it around while crawling for a long time! Very funny!

"I think the instructions make more sense this way up Mummy..."

8 months this Wednesday!

It's been a long time since I added to the blog as I've been having camera trouble so don't have a huge number of photos to add but here are a few. The next blog will show piccies taken with brand new camera! Hoorah!

Anyway - about Max - for that is why you're here isn't it! He is utterly gorgeous as ever and getting very chunky indeed which is very pleasing; for his Daddy in particular! He weighs about 18 lbs now.

He is also finally cutting his first tooth! Will take a picture of it as and when I can (as all the parents out there are aware, it's very hard to get them to keep their mouths open long enough to get an in-focus photo!)

Helping Mummy with the hoovering! Thanks Max!

Grannie looking 'fierce' in the latest baby fashion trend!

The lovely duck on t he left is 'Yabba' from Timmy Time (one of Max's favourite TV shows) which Aunty Sally and Uncle Alec bought for him. Thank you so much guys! The quacking when you squeeze the tummy always gets a smile out of Max... Well maybe not ALWAYS...
