39 Weeks

Maximus is exactly 9 months old today!

Lately he has been smacking his lips together. He also started taking his fingers and running them up and down his mouth. I think he likes to hear all of the different sounds he can make.

The other day he got up in a push up position. Is he trying to tell me something? "Hey Mom...this is called exercise...Why don't you join me?" haha...

I do get some exercise though...him and I enjoy dancing together in the kitchen. He's a great dance partner. And Papa and Maximus continue to like to play together and rough house.

Maximus got a new wooden toy last week and Rob stood him up by it. Maximus grabbed the top of it, hung on and stood by himself.

I need to try and get a good shot of this on videotape...when we put Maximus on his changing table, he goes nuts with his arms and legs...moving them up and down like a wild man. It's the funniest thing and always makes me laugh.

I've come into his room a few times now to find him sitting up in his crib after taking a nap. We've lowered the crib to the lowest setting...but the next thing we'll have to do is remove one of the mattresses, and then just hope that he doesn't figure out how to climb out of the thing anytime soon.

Hope you all have a great week!
