This will be the last time that a new tooth will be mentioned, I promise.
Max now has his second tooth! 
and now has both his middle bottom teeth.
One problem is now he thinks that biting his mother while feeding is a good game….. ouch!
sharp!
Max was chewing on my finger today and I felt something sharp digging into my finger…….
….. that’s right, Max’s first tooth is coming through! (bottom, middle-right)
Weeeeeee
smilie
I know that all fathers must think this but I just can’t believe how Vic and I created such a cute wee perfect boy. Obviously it’s mostly his mother but you’ve got to wonder what the milkman looked like…….
big bath
Max is getting bigger by the minute. He must be but we don’t really see it I guess as we see him every day. The other day though as I was bathing him he banged his head and his feet on opposite ends of the baby bath! He’s a bit of a thrasher in the bath any way because he loves it so much but after that episode and getting soaked every bath time we decided that enough was enough and last night he had his first bath in the big bath
Ahhh, things are changing so fast. **sigh** I must admit, it’s nice to be at home to see Max grow up at such a rate though
hee hee
My mother, Ann, has been enjoying her new digital camera and whatever image s/w she’s got. I received this in my inbox today
and the little one said
Another milestone! Max rolled all the way over from his front to his back last night! It was quite funny the way it happened….. He had just filled his nappy and because of the way he was sitting in his bouncinette it went all up his back (nice!) I got him out and put him on his stomach while I got all the various bits of baby changing paraphernalia ready and a couple of wiggles later he was on his back! Vic was gutted that she missed this but he was nice enough to do it later as well while she was watching
things i can do now
It seems to me sometimes that life is just plodding along because there are no major events happening in my life. What I don’t realise, because I see him evey day, is that Max is really growing up and we don’t tell people about it! Here are a few things that he can now do:
1) Max can now focus on something then reach out and grab it (for the most part) Whilst this may not seem like much I think it shows that his hand – eye coordination is really coming along in leaps and bounds. Of course everything that does get grabbed goes straight into his mouth – which brings me to…..
2) He’s started to suck his thumb And when I say suck I really mean suck! I’m surprised he doesn’t get blood out of the end of it! He started off just gnawing on his fist and then, about a week ago, his thumb popped out and away he went.
3) For about the last month he’s been able to stand up. By stand up I mean that if his feet are under him he will raise his entire bodyweight so that he is standing with his knees locked. The funny thing is that sometimes he seems to not be able to unlock them and gets all upset! lol!
yo!
We put Max in a new sleep suit this morning and he looked so cute that we had to take a few photos This one was given to him by our friends David and Claire in the UK and is from a chain of sushi bars that we used to frequent called YO!
I have put these and three others in the image database.
