How Strong is Max!

I posted a picture on my blog to best describe this, but we are always telling Max how strong he is as we help him to conquer his goals. It has gotten to be the funniest thing, we say..."how strong is Max!?" Then he has started holding up his hands and clenching really tight making the funniest faces, like yes, look at me, I am sooooo strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so hilarious. You are so strong Max!! We love you! And you really are getting so strong! :)

Max's First steps!

It finally happened...on May 1st, 2012...during Physical Therapy, Max completely walked on his own for about 5 - 7 steps! His therapist and I were playing a game with pretend bugs...she had the bugs in one part of the kitchen area, and I had the basket on the other side, and we asked him to take a bug and bring it to me to put in the basket. We have done this from sitting to stand and getting him to stand on his own, then asked more and more of him. He has taken like a step or two almost on his own and then falls into you...today, he really for the first time, walked completely on his own from point A to point B! It was crazy amazing! He is stilling wobbling around like a drunk man and falling, but he did it! I so badly wished he would just take a few steps by his 2nd birthday, which is coming up on May 20th, and yes he has done it and I wish came true! Now of course, I am greedy and switched my wish to walking from place to place in the room when playing rather than going to the ground to crawl, or pull along holding onto things or me. My  back is soooo ready to not be bending over anymore, LOL! Go Max!
