Well.. it's a beautiful sunny 50 degree February day... no complaints here.. Max has really been enjoying standing on the hill in the back yard. For some reason he seems to have a little better balance there but still needs to be able to lean against me, but he likes to take steps outside - maybe it's because the ground is softer than the floor? Or he's just outside and enjoying being outside.
He also has been going to the bathroom when he goes outside too which is kind of nice ! (Especially when I remember to move my food out from under him... )
(Oh and he's also been sitting up and looking around each time he wakes up and can do this on both sides now! ... And is using his right arm to help push himself up... and for the first time yesterday - although this hasn't been consistently repeated - actually blinked when I pulled a "3 Stooges" on him and waved my fingers in front of his eyes.. The last few times he's actually moved his whole head rather than blink.. he definitely can see and his depth perception may just be making a come back - Fingers are crossed..
Anyway - thought I'd share some pictures of today's outting..remember he could barely lift his head a month ago. Now he can hold it up for 10 min or so before it gets weak. Wish I had the video camera..

| Leaning - that head gets heavy! |

| I wish I had video he was moving his right arm down the hill and trying to get up I had to straighten him out so he didn't take a tumble but he was trying hard! |

| Standing on all 4s.. and leaning against mom (who can't focus the camera in on all of Max) |

| Hey You... What's going on?! |

| Mom's favorite beach... nobody around as far as the eye can see! Sorry had to throw this one in.. it's what keeps me sane! |
Love the second picture. Max looks like he is sucking up the fresh air and sunshine. And look how far he has come! He knows to lean on Mom because Mom will always take care of him!
ReplyDeletePS. Love the peaceful beach scene.
