Max in the Desert, Part 1

We have only been on our vacation a couple days but Max has already checked off a lot of firsts.

First plane ride.  He did really well!  There were lots of people to smile at so that kept him distracted.

 First flight cancellation.  He got to know the Dallas airport really well.  He kept himself entertained with empty water bottles and watching the action on the tarmac.

 First pair of cowboy boots.  He likes the way they "thump" when he steps.

 Real cowboys wear their boots with their jammies.

 First time watching Thanksgiving football.

First Thanksgiving dinner, complete with pumpkin pie for dessert!

Beep Beep!

Out of the way!  Max upgraded his vehicle from a cardboard box to a fancy new ride with wheels.

He doesn't know how to use his feet to get around but getting pushed is fun.

And he's off!  He covers a lot more ground walking with the car than he does crawling.  This might be the end of the crawling days!

It's easier to push when your tongue is sticking out.

Stairmaster

Just a few weeks ago he had no interest in the stairs.  Now it's his favorite thing to do, which means mom and dad also spend a lot of time going up and down the stairs.

Tough Guy

Don't mess with me, I have a tooth!

First Steps

11 Months Old

 Just one month away from being one year old!

Likes:  Stacking blocks, books, dancing, clapping, opening cabinets and drawers, and pots and pans.

Dislikes:  Socks and shoes, Skyping with Aunt Chantal.

 Stacking blocks takes serious concentration.

Dancing to the tunes of his musical turtle.

It took 11 months but he's finally the proud owner of a shiny new tooth!
