The Real Feeding Time Fun Begins...

Max has decided he would like to learn how to use a spoon. And he's actually pretty good at it. He doesn't get a lot on the spoon (NOT a problem!) and he gets it straight into his mouth every time. I got him one of those bender spoons to help him get the food into his mouth and we tried it today, but I think he does equally well with the regular spoon. Although the bender spoon did seem to make it easier for him to get more food into his mouth. He tried a little last night with his yobaby (when it was almost done) and then today for his butternut squash/sweet potato puree.

Max and His Brothers Have a Message

Nik and Julian are wearing shirts that say "I'm going to be a Big Brother again" and Max has a little shirt that says "I'm going to be a big brother."

The new baby is due January 12th. We told the kids tonight. They were VERY excited. Julian wants to name him Lio. Nik wants to name him Yusef. And if the baby is a girl Julian wants to name her Julia. We told the kids we would discuss names after we find out if it is a boy or a girl...

He Swims!

Ok, so maybe is is more of a "wade" than a swim, but he was having a good time. :)

He is such a poser

So tonight I was sitting on the couch and Max was being his normal adorable self. So I picked up the camera. And as soon as he saw the camera he started posing for me. What a great baby!

He climbs!

Max's new trick is going UP the stairs. All the way up. All by himself. And he can now make it down the two steps between the kitchen and the family room all on his own.

Teeth!

I don't know if I will be able to get a picture, but last night I noticed that Max has THREE new teeth coming in all at the same time. He has two new teeth at the back on the top and one new tooth on the bottom in the front. Other than the excessive drooling, there weren't any real signs that he was teething. What a good boy!
