I will update again to show more recent photos of the past week or so including Max posing for the camera!
Walking practise at Sally's
The first time using our Mei-Tai, and Max fell asleep within minutes of the walk! Brilliant! (Caroline McCurrach, Sally's friend, makes these gorgeous Mei-Tais www.mymei-tai.blogspot.com and I thoroughly recommend them to anyone who has a baby or toddler.)
Mid-crawl at high speed!
Ninja brings in butterflies from the garden daily and one day the butterfly escaped his claws and sought sanctuary on Max! It worked, as Ninja wouldn't swipe at it while it was on him. :)
Having fun with Grandad
Max first pulled himself up to standing using the stair gates, this is an example...
...then came crawling through the stair gate to reach the stairs...
...and finally crawling up the stairs, which he can now do all in one go without stopping when he wants to! Obviously I stand behind him, the photo below was the first time he did it and I happened to have the camera in my hands to catch the moment!
Max still likes to hold my mobile phone, which isn't a problem as I lock the keys and he still doesn't put anything in his mouth.
"Oh where did you get that hat? Where did you get that hat?"
Holding one of Grandad's cucumbers
Ninja and Damson were a bit freaked out when Max started crawling but they've warmed to the idea now and are only a little hesitant when he crawls toward them.
Cute!
Peej and Mel invited us over for a picnic in their communal garden a few weeks ago and it was a scorcher of a day. Peej took Max to have a look at the trees...
... and Mel played with him on her lap. Mel also walked with Max in the Mei-Tai and found it very comfortable. (He slept when she carried him too!)
Playing more games :)
With one of my beautiful red sunflowers (Thanks M!)
The pouty face is a popular one as he knows it gets a laugh!
He does a very sweet gentle smile which I love :)
He LOVES standing up and will look around for anything of suitable height to pull himself up on.
At the park with Sally (Jack was over at the railings watching the big children and grown-ups play FOOTBALL!
This was taken at M's sailing club near Sonning. One of her sailing buddies had a boat they were getting ready to go on the water and Max was allowed to sit in it and play captain, should have got him a pirate hat... Yarrr! It was a bit bright to look at the camera but he was smiling a lot and having a wonderful time.
Cuddle! Aww!
