Light Bulb Anyone?

Instead of taking a nap this afternoon, Max babbled and talked and kicked his crib. He was quite content playing away. Finally, it got quiet. Naomi went to check on him. Was he asleep? No! He had pulled the lamp into his crib, had the shade off; the bulb completely unscrewed and was sucking on the round glass top of the light bulb. Yikes! The lamp should not have been in his reach. Needless to say, it has been moved to avoid a repeat incident. This made me remember a comment on his donors profile that said he could pretty much take anything apart and put it back together again. Max sure had the taking apart down today. LOL. Also, when my mom was here he was playing with this Hippo push toy I got for him a few weeks ago. He was standing and holding onto it. He let go, got this big smile, held for about 3 seconds, then sat down. In just the last week, he is crawling everywhere and can get to where he wants even if it is a room or two away. Oh my! I think it may not be too much longer before he is off and running on his feet. He is really quite an explorer. He spent 15 min. checking out the lawn mower toy my neighbor brought over for him. He noticed it was new right away; couldn't take his eyes off of it; started towards it first thing he was set down; had a small fit when Naomi took it to clean it before letting him play with it; and smiled and laughed when she brought it back. He has a busy few days growing, exploring, visiting. My gosh, this kid just amazes me. Needless to say, he is fast asleep after sucking down a full 8 oz. The sweet, beautiful, inquisitive child of mine does look like a peaceful little angel sleeping.
