They grow up so fast

So if you haven't heard already, Max is walking. He hasn't perfected it yet, but he looks even more like a monkey when he walks like an ape. I edited the video, but for some reason it won't rotate here, so just cock your head to one side to watch it.

He really is growing up so fast. We had a first this week- my first call to Poison Control. Ah yes, who doesn't enjoy the taste of liquid bandage on a cool morning? Luckily, Max only licked the applicator brush, but he thought it was quite tasty. The nice man at the poison center told me not to worry unless he started vomitting, which he didn't. We thought he may have sealed up his taste buds for a while, but he actually had a good appetite that day. Needless to say, Joey installed ALL of the child cabinet locks as soon as he got home from work... not that that will deter Max.
We went with the Pyrahs and Grand-Pyrahs out to Lattin Farms this weekend for Max's first encounter with goats. He absolutely loved the goats and attempted to rip their ears off. I was pleasently surprised to see the goats didn't bite his fingers, especially since Max was practically giving them a dental exam. We're thinking about getting a goat, more as a play mate for Max. Here are some pictures from the day:

So, are you saying you have a future goat dentist that looks like monkey? People would pay to see that. Perfect freak show material. Too bad he is so cute. Now if he was the bearded lady to boot you could make a fortune.

He is soo cute Heather! I love his little giggles. He's so proud of himself. I have his little rocking chair almost finished. I think he'll like it! :)

I can't believe he is walking. You will have great fun with the Christmas tree this year(or Nancy will). And it looks like Max passed the "goat test" so he will get to enjoy Christmas with all of his fingers. What is the going rate for a goat dentist. Maybe he and Hudson could go into business together.

Awww! Dave and I watched that video together. It was delightful.

Max is so fun! He totally looks like a little monkey! I love how his legs are so far apart when he walks! Too cute!

We would love to come visit & bring Max his belated b-day present. The chair is complete!!!

I had a pet goat as a kid. Really.
