There's no stopping him.


It's amazing how things happen so quickly. Max just started crawling on Monday and he's not even crawling a lot yet. But today he learned how to pull himself up. He started by pulling himself up while he was holding on to my leg but I was bracing him so I really had no idea that he could actually do it himself. Then we put him in for a nap and Roger and Shirin we're watching him in the monitor and saw him pull himself up in the crib. Then he did it a few more times. Amazing!!

Here's a great video of Max and Roger playing. Max was having a lot of fun.

Max's 1st art work. Aunty Rose, Arianna and Laila taught Max to color.

10 Months


Look at how grown up our little boy is. Can't believe he's 10 months old. Today he started to crawl. I mean really crawl, not just scooting or going around in circles to get where he wants to go. There's no stopping him now. He started full time daycare today. It's hard to think that he won't be with Aunty Rose 3 days a week but daycare isn't all bad. We taught him some moves so he can protect himself against the next biter.

For this months picture, he decided he wanted to play with the bear. The bear looks huge in these pictures.


We're having a heat wave in Albany and yesterday was a beautiful day for a walk to the park. Max and Daddy are enjoying the sunshine and view.


You can never have too many pacifiers (or Maxifiers as we like to call them)

Happy Halloween!

Max had a great time watching us rake all the leaves. And then he didn't mind sitting in them for a perfect fall picture. He kept inspecting each leaf and wondering what they were.

Max only wore his costume for about 20 minutes. We went to Aunt Tammy's to Trick or Treat but Max fell asleep on the way and then just as we started out to meet up with them it started to pour. Then we went to Tammy's neighbors for a party. It was a lot of fun.



Although I would love to let Max eat pureed food until he was in high school, we've been trying to get him used to eating more textured food and to feed himself. He doesn't seem to notice the varying textures but wants no part of feeding himself. With a little pleading and plodding he picked up and had a bite of the banana before he learned how squishy it was and how much fun that was. He's still a great eater. There isn't anything that he doesn't like. He had a reaction to yogurt and cottage cheese but soy yogurt seems to be fine.

Other news: He gets himself into a sitting position now and even crawled for a few seconds today. He's growing up so fast. Here are some other great pics....
Michael wanted to see if he could fit in the crib too. I love this picture.


Max is all dressed up for Adam and Christina's baby shower. Isn't he so cute?


Max loves Daddy and gives big kisses to prove it.


I love watching him sleep with his butt up in the air.

Max is obsessed with stings. See how happy he is when he's untying Roger's shoes?

Another great picture of Michael and Max. He looks like he's actually listening or reading along.
