showing off with my swing

Look at me standing up so strong and steady on my cool swing!

We practice nearly every day and I am really enjoying it. Sometimes I cry when Mommy puts it away! :)

I am doing really good working on my balance. And I love kneeling and standing the most!

Mom tried to lay me on the swing (on my tummy for me to work on my upper torso strength) but I quickly got myself out of that and went into kneeling and then standing position...all on my own. Doing that on a swing takes a lot of work, but I did it!

The only problem we are having with my swing time is that I occasionally will just throw myself backwards. I do this sometimes when I am sitting and playing too. I arch my back and fall backwards. (Mom has learned that this tends to be a "quirk" in CHARGE land.) Scares everyone big time when I am on the swing...so as you can see, they have to keep their hands on me at all times! I have been doing this more lately, and it really scares/bothers/frustrates my mommy because she doesn't want me to get hurt. Hmmm...maybe I should work on that?

* This is Lucinda (one of my nurses) holding me. She is wonderful and adores me very much!

Max, you are doing great! I don't think I could even stand on a swing like that (I'd be too nervous!). WTG!

That is too cool Max. Standing- next thing you know you will be swinging on your own! How exciting! You are just growing and changing so fast. Love it!

Whoa - man, look at you go. Way to go there. You just keep getting stronger and you will be walking before too long.

Love,
Diane and Alex

How great you are doing on the swing, Max!
You'll have to show me all your new favorite things to do when I get there in a couple weeks.
Love you very much!

Mighty Max,

I am astonished at how well you are doing with your swing! Your legs are getting so strong! Mommy is going to get some serioius exercise this summer keeping up with you.:)

Thank you very much for the lovely card, sweet note and beautiful pictures of you. I treasure them. Receiving mail from you added sunshine to a cold, snowy day.

I love you,
