Ha! You think this will stop me.

This could be one of those "caption this photo" but let me give you the real one.

As Max began crawling, a while ago, he, as I am sure with most boys, he found the cabinets very exciting. You know, doors that were his size and the right height for swinging open and then slamming shut. Since some of the cabinets contain things we wouldn't want chucked across the room we purchased some child proof door locks. Yeah, I think this is like day two of them being on...meet Max Houdini, escape artist extraordinaire.

Riddle

How do you get a 11.5 month old named Max to eat anything?

Put tomato sauce on it.

Max Walking

I can walk...just not very far yet.

Basket Ball

Max played his first game of basketball yesterday. He took on his Nonny (Grandma V). It was an intense game of putting a toy soccer ball into Nonny's magazine basket. He displayed his great strength as he slammed many of them home.

Natasha here. For those of you who know Max, you know that he marches to his own inner drummer boy. Here Max is reading in the way that only Max could.

Actually he can do a little better job of reading than the first video. Here he is turning the pages. Sometimes he sits there and turns the pages jabbering away. I, of course, think it's the cutest most genius thing ever, but will admit my bias.

Max goes to work with daddy.
