10 Months Old

It seems like I made the 9 month old post just last week!  Max gets into everything and just recently learned how to go up stairs.  He can stand up for a couple seconds on his own and walks holding on to us with just one hand.  We are still anxiously waiting the arrival of a tooth.

Likes:  Ricky, crawling, climbing in the dishwasher, looking out the window, Ricky's bed, and Cheerios.

Dislikes:  Having his face wiped off, and getting his diaper changed.

 Always watching Ricky.

Getting tickled.

Eyes are still blue.   Sorry Ross, I don't think they are turning brown.

Fall Pool Party

Isn't everyone going for a swim outside at the end of September?  Ok, maybe not everyone, but when you live in Arkansas pool season lasts a little bit longer.

Of course, he still loves to splash.

His curiosity has led him to explore what's outside the pool.

"Hmm, grass.  Interesting."

The rubber duckies always bring his attention back into the pool.

Even Ricky got into the fun, but in his own pool.

All smiles after a swim!

Haircut

Thankfully, his hair grows quickly.

Hot Rod

You might recognize this box from the "Rainy Day + Cardboard Box" post in August.  Since then it has had some work.  We souped it up with fire red racing stripes, roll bar, spoiler, and donkey hood ornament.  Comfortably seats four.

Fall...kinda

We finally got some fall-like weather on Saturday, and by fall-like weather I mean temperatures were below 80 degrees.  It was so nice to wear to pants and long sleeves for the first time in 5 months and it was fun to finally see Max wearing something other than his diaper.  

We started the morning by picking pears for another batch of pear wine.  Max and Ricky were good helpers.

"Ah, this cool air feels nice!"

Busted!

Worn Out

We must have done a good job of wearing him out today because he did something that he never does...fall asleep without us trying to put him to sleep!  Usually when he falls asleep we bolt out of the room before we make a noise that wakes him up.  This evening I took advantage of his sleepiness and snapped a few photos.
