Ah, the leaves...

We have this fairly big tree in our front yard. Every year it drops all its leaves in the span of one week, this is the week. So I took Max outside to experience....










He's such a ham in front of the camera. Some how he already knows he's supposed to smile and does so on cue. I set him on the ground, held my camera up and he was already smiling for me.

Funny thing happened though, Roxy came over and wanted to see what was going on.










The next thing I knew, Max lost his balance and was on his back. Hahahaha. Don't worry, he's fine.

New Skills

Max is learning so much, so quickly right now. Just in the past 2 weeks he went from sorta sitting up folded in half (see below)










To sitting up almost completely unassisted for minutes at a time. He loves to play with his blocks.










Beto has taught him to clap to a song. He claps in time, but only with his left hand. Lefty?

He is also eating real baby foods. He loves bananas and carrots. Here he is in his high chair.









He's teething, I can feel a tooth right under the surface, it'll break through any day now. Lots of slobber and chewing. If he can grab it, it's in his mouth. One especially fussy evening, we discovered a cold Pepsi helps alleviate some pain.









He's really just the sweetest, cutest thing ever!
