So, what did Maxwell do next?
Granddad wins this one! He said “I bet that he took one shoe off and put it in his mouth!” Well…he didn’t take one off but he definitely put it in his mouth!!
He bit…
and chewed…
and gnawed…
and even licked a little!
I can’t say I blame him. Leather and new shoes have always been my favorite smells…and sometimes they just smell so good you want to eat them!
Don’t worry, his fire truck shoes survived the gummy attack. They were just a little slobbery…
He just wants to put everything in his mouth these days…including pears and green beans! Yep, after a rocky start, pears and green beans are back on the menu. We’re still working on peas though.
I also have an “Operation Crib Nap” update. After abandoning the operation for several weeks, we tried again yesterday and Maxwell did GREAT! He took two fantastic naps in his crib with very little fussing at all. Hooray! I don’t know why I was pushing it so hard before – I think this just proves he wasn’t ready. We have had his swing in his room for the past few weeks so he has gotten used to going into his room for every nap. Maybe that helped? I don’t really know but I’m very encouraged by his sleeping today. Let’s hope he keeps it up!
Good job Maxwell! Naps are the best!
Too cute! Yes, he is his mother’s child if he likes the smell of leather just half as much as she does! Sounds like Maxwell is going to be a good eater but that prunes might have to go on the banned list!
Who needs chewing gum when you have your fire truk shoes?
