Good Morning!

This is what Mom walks into every morning (and when I should be napping at times).

I like to turn on and off my light show too. I am so proud of all of my new ablilities.

I just can't contain my excitement!

Enjoying the day

Curious Tessa (aka: C.T.)

"What ya eatin' there Maxi?"
"Hey! Where are you going? You're not finished yet!"

Breakfast Anyone?

Sitting Pretty

Mommy's Helper

Entertainment

Faster! Faster!
Here are a couple of new things I like to do for fun. Unfortunately,

Mom and Dad moved the dogs' water into the garage.

Life at the Playground

Standing tall.
My favorite.
Not so sure about this thing.

Swing Time

Don't you just love the wind blowing through your hair (or hat)?
Hey! I'm not done!

Trying Out My New Shoes

This weekend we went shopping for my first "real" pair of shoes. I got fitted and everything. I'm getting really good at walking in them.
I love walking. Can't wait until I can do it by myself.

A New Fave

One of my new favorites: grilled cheese.
Yum Yum

Silly Baby

Mom turned her back for a second and this is where she found me.
Okay, this isn't funny anymore. How do you get out of this thing?

Riding a Hippo?

Big Girl

So I've graduated to a new carseat and I love it!

Now I just can't wait until I can finally face forward!

Learning to Walk

Check me out. I love to walk when holding onto someone's hands. I would have kept going if Charlie wouldn't have gotten in the way. I let him know it wasn't appreciated. (N0te: Please ignore the crazy lady talking into to the camera. She was very excited as you can probably tell.)

Relaxing with Max

Miss Independent

My latest thing is taking the bottle away from Mom and Dad when they feed me.

I like to do things myself.

I Love Books

When Mom gives me a bunch of toys to choose from, I go for books everytime.

I love to turn the pages when Mom reads to me.

Bed Head

I'm ready for breakfast please.

More Swimming with Dad

Holding on the sides
Kick Kick
I love to Splash!

Being Dunked

I have been taking a swim class for a few weeks. I love it! I am not so sure about going under water yet though.

Victorious!

So, as you know, I've been working on this crawling thing for quite a while. I am working on walking as well but before that I was simply rolling across the room. I have since decided to give this crawling thing a try. This is my version anyway. I think it took everything Mom had to not put down the camera and help me. I'm glad she didn't. Victory never tasted so sweet!

Did Mom speak too soon?

I'm not quite crawling yet but this is a step in the right direction.

I get on my hands and knees and rock.

Pulling Myself Up and Down

So focused...
Coming down.
As you can tell, I'm still perfecting my landing.

Getting Around

Mom has come to the conclusion that I may not crawl.

Oh well, I get around just fine by scooting or rolling. Works for me!
Uh oh, I'm stuck!

Look at Me!

Standing tall...
So yummy!

Take 5?

We met my cousins Lilly and Claire today.

As you can see, getting our picture taken was quite the event.
