10 months: Teeth, posing & trip to Twycross Zoo

Max is now 10 months old and we have had a really lovely few days as Daddy is now home from work so no more trips to Liverpool! Hooray! Both Max and I are VERY happy to have him home and it's meant we are able to do some things as a family - like a trip to the zoo! (See far below)
Callum found this top from the Harlequins website (while Googling 'cheating scum'...) and it says 'FUTURE QUINS PLAYER'. We like :)

Oh no! A Daddy Monster!

Playing throw and catch with Daddy (Damson was a spectator only)

When he's in the mood, Max poses for the camera and this is one of the faces he pulls!

This is another...

And another...

Maximus now has 4 teeth and another is pushing through on the top left (see tongue poking poor red gums)

On our walks, I stop to let Max see and feel the various leaves and plants along the way (obviously not spikey, prickly ones...) and he is very gentle with them and doesn't pull off any leaves...

...for the most part...

Looking through one of his sound books with Grannie

At Aunty M's Sailing Club with her daughter Kate and Kate's son Tane. What a lovely afternoon it was!

Crawling at full speed for the water! :)

Another funny posing face

STREEEEETCH!

Watching Daddy playing games is still one of Max's favourite pastimes. Look how long he's grown!

Reaching from one sofa to another - Daddy's laptop IS a stepping stone, despite what Daddy says!

Max has learned to crawl while pushing along his toy car

Awww

Much to Daddy's delight, Max also LOVES his electric guitar and likes to strum the strings while Daddy holds cords. He's a natural it seems!

This is at Twycross Zoo. We had a really lovely time and Max was so good all afternoon. It was a primate and monkey-focussed zoo which suited me but also has a lot of other kinds of animals there and Max was particularly fond of the Meerkats and Pudus so I've put those pictures up.

This is a Pudu (a minuature deer) - they were very interested in Max and kept bounding up to the glass, Max loved them (see reflection)

This little old monkey was sitting in his little house at the back and sprang over to say 'hello' when Max came along with Daddy. He was very friendly.

This is Max and Daddy watching the Meerkats. They were his favourite and didn't want to leave them! :)

This is just to prove I was at the zoo too! Here in front of the Prairie Dog enclosure.
