Procrastinating Bedtime

We're in trouble...

Sound the air-horns! Prepare the defences! Nail it all down...!

Max is mobile.

Details and maybe some video to follow soon...

Any time now...

You know that hand-over-hand method of climbing a rope they used to make you do way back in gym class? Where you couldn't use your legs?

Picture Max, flat on his belly, exploiting the edge of the living room rug in the very same fashion.

So far this week we have found him in various parts of the room - purely by rolling one way or another and; a)pulling stuffed animals off his little rocking chair; b)curling up the corner of the rug to suck on it while playing with the tags attached underneath; c)trying to eat the couch by way of the skirting at the bottom; d)and among many more, getting stuck between pieces of furniture, leaving us without a clue as to how he did it.

It's only beginning you all say. We know, we know...

Had to happen sometime...

Last week Max showed us his first tooth. Today there's evidence of another coming in right beside it.

A trip to the doctor today confirmed our suspicions of the dreaded "croup" along with ear infections in both ears.

Good news is the initial dose of antibiotic seems to have triggered an immediate turn around in how he feels, though we have a way to go.

Mom has been doing a GREAT job all last night and today. (She'll sleep after he graduates.)

Max's first sickness (this first-time parent thing stinks sometimes), and he isn't very happy today...

Happy Birthday Poppy

This past weekend was Poppy's 70th birthday, and luckily he and Nanny had all four of the youngest grandboys in town (we can't forget Jordy even though he's off to the army next week...)

Just wanted to give ya'll a little photo-post of the events...
