Maxwell's 1 to 1 1/2 Years
It's been a busy time in Maxwell-land. He's become a proper little boy, visited America for the second time, discovered snow, worked out how to balance a spoon on his head AND become a big brother. PHEW!

First Hair Cut

With people frequently mistaking Maxwell's luscious locks (mullet?!) and extra-long lashes for those of a little girl, it was time for a first haircut in preparation for Christmas holidays in the U.S.


Don't Like Jet Lag

The poor chap was totally disorientated by the jet lag of flying to the U.S. and took a number of dazed tumbles.

This goose egg on his forehead after a fall in Seattle airport was just about made OK by a major cuddle-infusion.

White Out

Back in Scotland for New Year 2010 Maxwell encounters snow for the first time.

He gradually warmed to the cold stuff and bombed down icy slides at a rate of knots.

Spoon Head

With advanced fine motor skills, Maxwell could easily ferry his dinner from plate to mouth.

But where's the fun in that?!

Especially when you can smear it all over your face, fling it on the floor and then (as an encore) balance the spoon on your head? - Ta-Daaa!

Change Afoot

Something is different but I can't quite put my finger on it.

I just don't feel like the absolute centre of the Universe anymore....
