My little guy has been taking more steps on his own lately. In fact, I captured him in action briefly, on video Monday, but I accidentally erased it! Ugh! The next evening, Maximus and I were in the kitchen. I was sitting on the floor, and he was near the dishwasher. He started walking towards me and ended up right into my arms, with a big hug! It was the BEST thing ever...even if he may have been using me to keep himself from falling. Who knows...but, it was SO sweet!
Speaking of things getting erased...One of my biggest fears, since I haven't been keeping up on his baby book like I should, is that my blog would get lost/erased. I mean...WHAT IF? I would be crushed!!! As I was visiting blogs, I read on Katie's Keepers, about getting a blog published into a book. Katie has ordered blog books from a place called blog2print and I REALLY want to do this! It can be a little on the spendy side, but considering that I am documenting so much of Maximus' life on here, I believe it would be money well spent.
Kind of sad to see it go, but it was time. The paper shredder has now been removed and put into a closet where Maximus can't get to it. We bought him his very own garbage can with a swinging lid on it. This is a much more child friendly alternative. To prevent him from pushing it over, we put two 5 pound weights on the bottom, with a towel for padding. So, now he can put paper, toys or whatever he so desires into it.
Last night Rob was getting Maximus ready for bed & pulled his arms out of his sweatshirt and left him looking like this...
This cracks me up, but I'm not sure how funny he'll think it is when he's a teenager. Maximus really gets a kick out of his shirt like this. When we are changing him out of his clothes, he giggles when we're lifting the shirt over his face. As a tiny baby, he hated it! He would cry and scream everytime something was pulled over his face and head.
He almost looks too short to be climbing stairs. I love the little leg kicking out here. The sock on the stairs is his motivation.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

This is the look of someone doing something he isn't supposed to do. Here's that dvd/vhs player I've mentioned before. We try and block it, but he seems to find a way to get there...Determined little guy.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
