EIGHT MONTH UPDATE!

Hey Guys, and welcome to my update on Max. I believe I did my last update when he was only six months old, so I have quite a bit to tell you about.

First of all I cannot believe how fast Max is growing up! Eight months ago and our lives were about to change forever. I must admit, I wasn't scared at all which came as a surprise because I usually tend to freak out at things as huge as this. I just knew it was the right time.

So Max has gone from "commando crawling" to now moving on his knees. One of us always has to keep an eye on him as he loves to play with everything which isn't his toys. If he's not going after the cables, he's heading for the dog bowl or if it's not the dog bowl, he tries to pull the bin over....I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

When we were in England last week my dad taught him how to stand! He was extremely wobbly to begin with but over the past week or so he really is being more stable. He can also crawl over to his play pen or the sofa and pull himself up. His face of excitement is the best because you can see he is extremely pleased with himself.

Normally you would think he has learnt enough at the moment but no, he is trying his hardest to talk. As one wise person on Jeremy Kyle once said, he's "smacking his gums together" but I'm sure he wasn't using it in the same context. They are not quite words yet but I think he will be asking what he wants for breakfast sometime soon.

And to top it all off, he has two "nearly fully" grown bottom teeth. When being first time parents I wasn't sure whether he was teething or not, so when the first two popped out it was a sigh of relief. And I must say, that when he smiles, he looks like a rabbit (only joking) he looks adorable! Now the first ones have popped out I'm sure the rest will follow.

That's all of the milestones he has achieved so far and I must admit that he seems to be a very happy and healthy baby. I will look forward to giving you another update this time next month. I am now going to get ready for my first pre-season football match today. So have a great day and I'll see you soon. I hope you enjoy the videos.

Bye Guys.
