The Best of Times

These are good times to be a parent of The Max Baby. Ol' Maxo can sit up! But, thankfully, Ol' Maxo can't crawl! What that means is you can put Max on his activity mat and do the dishes, put in a load of laundry, or arrange your sock drawer while he sits and plays with his his toys in one spot. It is particularly entertaining to set Max down in the middle of a toy plethora. He sits there and sort of reigns over his colorful minions: "Now I will play with you...you bore me! You! Come here, polka-dotted ball! What flavor are your colors? Gah! Next!"

As I type, Max is sitting on the couch next to me trying to eat the Tivo remote. It is making him very happy, the remote very gooey, and you can see how life can't get much better.
