Mr. Independant

Watching Max grow and change never ceases to amaze me. He learns something new every day and becomes, well, more himself all the time. Here are some pictures of Max sitting on his own. I still keep the area around him well-cushioned, but he holds himself up for increasingly long periods and tumbles over less and less.

He actually managed to pick Raffi up off the blanket and get it in his mouth, all while sitting!

We tried something new yesterday when it comes to letting Max experiment with food. I made up some organic barley cereal with breast milk, loaded up Max's baby spoon and let him have a go at spoon feeding himself. Remarkably, he managed to get quite a bit of it in his mouth, so we did this until he'd finished his whole little bowl. He really seemed to love the process!

Yummy!

"I get this spoon thing. No problem!"

Oops- wrong end!

"How did that get there?"

Finally, here's a short video of Max showing us his unique brand of humour. I don't quite get why, but he thought that my bottle of Vitamin Water was hilarious. Maybe he was laughing at me for buying an overpriced bottle of diluted juice.
