Bouncer

The bouncer still sees lots of action. He really throws his weight into it (20 pounds! He's twenty pounds!) but it doesn't seem to have any trouble with the baby acrobatics.

Sippy cup

It took Max awhile to figure out the sippy cup. But, eventually he sort of got the hang of it. He puts it in his mouth the right way, but he mostly chews on it, and doesn't seem interested in the water. By the way, we got rid of all those power cords. Much baby-proofing has been taking place.

Max & Mom

A sick kid is a snugly kid. Here's Max and Mom having some forehead time.

Monday Max Halloween Overload

Here's a little more of the monkey and his parents. His ear infection is making him pretty cranky, but there were some happy times, for sure. Just before bed, he and MK sat in front of a box full of CDs (well, he stood and peered over the rim). MK picked out some good tunes for his iPod. (What modern baby doesn't have an iPod?)

Sad Monkey

Max wasn't too psyched about the walk around the neighborhood last night. He was pretty tired. After all, he had just learned to crawl that same day! You can see a video of him by clicking the MaxTV link on the right. We got some great video of him crawling (in the costume, of course) and having dinner after the walk. He perked up for dinner.

Hope you had a great Halloween. We're so disappointed that we couldn't come out to Chi-town for the weekend.

Halloween Max

Here's Max in his monkey outfit, going for a stroll on Halloween. He saw some kids, then passed out and had a good nap while passersby oohed and aahed.

Singing

Max is sort of singing these days. He bangs things together and goes "ah-ah-ah-ah" alot.
