Max is growing up!

Our little Maxwellie turned 10 months old on Sunday. His stats are about the same as 9 months I suppose, but his personality is changing daily, maybe hourly. He is crazy! Not in a behavior problem way, if a 10 month old have behavior problems, but he is just WILD! He never NEVER stops moving, and is keeping he moving/lunging to rescue his throughout the entire day. Occasionally in the early morning I can get him to sit for a couple minutes to watch some of his Praise Baby DVD so I can gather myself, and get some breakfast going, but I no longer have any baby devises big enough to contain him. He has officially outgrown is activity gym- jumpy toy (what are those called?) and I know this because he leaned as far as he could for his toy box while he was in the activity gym other day, and was able to pull himself out, and crash in the toy box.

He loves to stand at his music table, but also gets a little too excited and pulls in over onto himself. His new favorite toy is the rocking chair we have in our living room. He will pull himself up and rock the chair with his hands, while his entire body is moving with the chair. Probably not safe, but so cute. Here is what he's up to as of this month...
