Going for a ride

Max gets strapped in as we take him for his nightly ritual of going to the local park to play.

Standing on his own

He can walk

Max has now taken steps on his own. He is good for about 5 to 8 steps (which is good because that is about the size of the apartment).

Also, he has the makings of one of his biters. Hooray for teething pain.

Where are my feet?

Daddy loves to play with his baby.

Matching Hats

For the first couple of days, Max's favorite thing to do was to play with the ridges on the chair arm. Oh, the simple pleasures!

Let me go, Dad!

I wanna play in the sand.

Beautiful family shot

Grandma gets attacked!

Ease me in, Dad

Thanks to Dad, by the end of the trip Max was running to the water! He's an adventurer like Steve.

Brave soul

Steve is determined to swim--despite the freezing water temperature!

Hat Thief!
