I grabbed my camera in hopes of capturing Max as he pulled the book The History of Beer in America off the bookshelf in the living room, but I wasn't fast enough. Instead, here's a picture of him with The Very Hungry Caterpillar. His favorite part of this book is poking his finger through all the holes in the food eaten by the VHC.
Quick 8 month update (8 months on 4/23!!) - He's crawling, eating lots of food (avocados, pears, sweet potatoes, bananas, peas, pizza crust, yogurt, rice cereal), enjoys trying to feed himself with a spoon, but can't quite figure out how to get the spoon out of his hand so he shakes his fist over and over again until the spoon magically comes flying out of it and onto the floor for Mommy to pick up, he babbles (mamama, lalalala, dadadada), clicks his tongue, likes to shake his head back and forth as if saying "no" and loves it when you do it back to him, is seeming less interested in nursing, sleeping for longer stretches at night, has 6 teeth (well, more like 5 1/2), weighs almost 22 lbs and loves people & dogs. Oh, and he likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. That's our boy! It's been a crazy and fun 8 months. Can't wait to see what the next month brings!
