Last week Max started to figure out that he could do more than just sit on his cute, chubby bottom. He had become a pro at sitting up from a laying down position, but couldn't quite get a handle on being mobile.
He had started to protest every time I set him down. He was feeling abandoned and stuck. For a while he was stuck in reverse. The more and more he tried to get at what he wanted, the further away he got. But over the weekend the synapses connected and he put one hand in front of the other and he was off!
Now he can get down and GO! He is enjoying exploring the house. And I am not enjoying the accompanying worry that he is going to find Cinderella's lost high heel or Luke's money.
Ava and Luke are not so pleased that there is a new cat in town. Mostly because this cat likes to swipe toys and mess up elaborately constructed masterpieces.
It's like Godzilla is coming! Max starts in their direction and then mayhem and screaming ensue as they grab things up and try to block him out.
He of course, means no malice and still thinks that Ava and Luke are the best and funniest things on earth.
Sadly, a trip to the pediatrician today confirmed my suspicions, he has another ear infection. Next stop, ENT.

Too cute! Seriously, your stories make me wonder if we should have gone for that third child.
He is so cute!!! Our little one just had his first birthday in June and he had so many ear infections last winter that he ended up with tubes in March. The tubes are still there, but he has also gotten a few more ear infections too. They are much easier to treat though. Good luck!!!
Hey! If you're in need, my brother is now with Texas ENT's practice (I don't remember who you used for Luke's tubes.) He's pretty fantastic at what he does, though. His name is Brian McMullin. Anyway, there you go if you want it! :)
We need to talk!!!
He is growing up sooooo fast!
GO Max!
