My Maxter

Wow, Max looks like a little boy in these pictures! My mom got him this sweater and he hasn't got to wear it much since it ended up fitting him in the summer, but we attempted to go out tonight so I thought it would be good for the evening. I am having so much fun with Max lately. He is so happy and I really love this age. He is doing this new thing where he arches his back while he lays on his tummy and shakes his arms and legs. It's almost like he is trying to swim. Actually, what it really reminds me of is the scene in Mission Impossible where Tom Cruise is hovering like three inches above the ground from a cable and he is trying not to touch it. He is pushing up really well, but when I try to help him get his knees underneath him, he really doesn't get it. I think crawling is a ways away still. Sitting is going pretty well as long as I can keep him looking up. Otherwise he ends up in a pike stretch. Max isn't showing a lot of interest in rolling from back to belly, but when he went from belly to back it was like an over night thing he learned, so we'll see. He is talking a lot but just vowel sounds. No mamama bababa yet! I love listening to him though, especially when he sits and talks to himself in the back seat. It's crazy to watch Max and Taylee next to each other because she is soooo much more advanced. She does the mama baba thing and is crawling and cruising around the furniture. I can't believe they are just a month and a half apart! I am enjoying his last months of immobility while they last. =)
