I might as well stay around…… where else would I be able to show how hard we’re working Max before he’s 18 months old 
And thanks to Gina for pointing out that it was two years ago today that we first came face to face with Max.
Over the last week or so Max has taken a real interest in cleaning his own teeth. We bought him a little plastic step so that he can join in
Sunshine, a small boy, 10 minutes, a roll of Ilford Delta 100 and hey presto…….
Want to see a 3.9MB clip of Max at the beach? Click the picture!
Update: I changed the file type from AVI to MPG for ease of playing. Size has gone up to 3.9MB though….
Poor wee Max has really been in the wars this week. On Monday he face planted on the floor (tripped over his own shoe) and gave himself a fat lip which is still purple. On Wednesday he fell over at playgroup and took a chunk out of the underside of his chin! Today he woke up with a big scratch on his nose (no, I have no idea – aliens?) and then this afternoon he goes flying into the gate that keeps him out of the kitchen, it collapses and he lands on the edge cutting his head open by his eye. Loads of blood, a trip to the doctor’s and a couple of steri-strips later and he’s back to himself
From my office window today
Seeing it’s winter we thought we would buy Max his first raincoat…… it’s a bit big It has a massive Buzz Lightyear on the back – unfortunately they don’t make them in XL 🙁
And he’s teething again (eye-teeth this time) We’ve had five mornings in the last week awake throughout the night when he cries out in his sleep and then up at 05:30 🙁
Easter was a busy time for us. It’s not that we had loads planned, it just felt really “full” I worked for 3-4 hours on Friday and then Saturday night saw us at a friends 50th birthday party. It’s funny how as the years go on the party milestones change. We’ve had three birthday parties in the last three weeks – a 40th, a 50th and a 60th. I must be getting on!
We left the party at about 22:30 which was just as well because Max was up at 04:45 the little bugger! I got up and changed him and put him back to bed hoping that he’d go back to sleep….. no chance 🙁 I got up and told Vic to go back to sleep. Max and I went downstairs, had breakfast and played while waiting for Vic to wake up. 08:15 she slept to! It’s probably the best lie-in she’s had for months
Sunday was spent chilling out (and I had a 2 hour nap in the afternoon) and then around to my Mum’s place for dinner. She’s selling her house and it will probably be the last time she entertains in the house that she’s lived in for the last 20 years………
More work on Monday and then here we are on Tuesday – it goes so fast 🙁
Obviously very tiring to wee Max as well!
