41 Weeks Old

Don't really know what to say about this week. We battled the runs and horrible diaper rash last weekend. Thank goodness for the cloth diapers. Max's poor little hiney was so irritated that even just putting him in the tub had him screaming. Poor little guy wouldn't even sit down. So, I busted out the cloth diapers and they held up great! They also helped his skin to heal. And thankfully, we are through that! I keep thinking that he is getting ready to cut more teeth, but I cannot feel any evidence of that in his mouth. Who knows! He is so close to walking! In fact, he is taking steps in a sideways direction. You can see it in his face how bad he wants to just take off. He will be standing there and see something he wants and he tries to figure out how to get there and starts to move forward, but ultimately, he just gets down and crawls. He is so fast at that too! He has had a successful venture with a sippy cup this week. Up until now, he has just mainly been chewing on them, but last night he drank the whole thing! I was quite impressed. So, that is our Max update. It's been such a busy week at work and I'm so tired and I can't even remember what we did last weekend. We are all VERY ready for our vacation to Texas in a few weeks. I can't wait to take Max to the beach and see what he thinks of the sand! Not too many pictures this week...as i said, it was a busy week!

My sweet little boy!

Flipping through the cd's...hope he doesn't figure out how to get them out any time soon!

Chew, chew, chew! Had to take his astronaut book away...I think he was getting quite a bit of fiber from it! :)

So, he found something else to stick in his mouth!

Playing with Daddy's hat!

This seems to be his standard expression!

Here is a video of a few of his first steps. Not the best video, but that's what I was able to get! :)
