Recently we have seen a change in Maxwell. Instead of him leaving mess around the house, he now enjoys cleaning up after himself. 
Maxwell puts his rubbish in the bin, puts his plate in the sink and cleans all his toys into his toy box. He also manages to put dirty washing in the washing machine but does not understand that it must be split into whites and colours. He really is a helpful little boy.

Maxwell and I are going to be apart for a whole night on Friday when I spread my wings and fly to Britmums. I have to say I am excited but scared. Maxwell is 18 months and is always by my side however I think it will be nice to have some time to myself and also get Maxwell used to me not being there for him all the time. The only thing which scares me is that I may end up missing something e.g his first real word.

Last week Maxwell and I were sent a prize we had won. It was a La-La Oopsies Dvd and a small doll. I was going to give the DVD and doll to my sister for her godchildren however Maxwell had other plans! As soon as he spotted the doll he clutched her in his little chubby hand and ever since La-La Oopsies has traveled everywhere with him. I am slightly scared she may go missing soon as Maxwell seems to mislay a lot of things. I am sending the DVD to Nanny's when he visits there on Friday. 

This week has seen Maxwell climbing around the house but mostly on the sofa. He likes to climb up and try and scale the wall so he can sit on our window seat. I have told Maxwell several times that he could hurt himself but he enjoys watching the cars pass and occasionally likes to wave to people out the window. 

We visted the zoo last Friday (You can read our review here). This is the second time Maxwell had visited and he really enjoyed himself.  He loved seeing the animal's and he also loved running around the zoo. We had a fantastic time and I would definitely reccomend visiting.

A Week Of Learning And New Experiences


Maxwell is climbing
He loves to shake

  1. Maxwell has learnt to climb the sofa. 
  2. Maxwell has been very spoilt this week. 
  3. Maxwell has learnt how to turn the TV on with the remote. 
  4. Maxwell went to his 1st music class this year. 
  5. Maxwell is trying to speak a lot more. 
  6. Maxwell likes to pretend objects are the phone and speak into them.
This week has been a little worrying. Maxwell has learnt how to climb the sofa and it panics me. He used to be able to get up on the sofa if he carefully placed his bumbo seat next to it as it gave him some height however this week he can do it by himself with nothing helping him to get up. Once up he likes to jump around. He is banned from climbing until he learns how to sit nicely. 

Maxwell has been treated this week to many things, from toys to clothes to his favourite food, we went a little bit mad. I always have a eye for a bargain and this week we went to Portsmouth where all the outlet stores are. Maxwell loved seeing the Radley dogs which he spotted outside the Radley store but I loved the bargains that I managed to find. I picked up a hoodie, a T-shirt and some lovely trousers for just £12 when it should have been £38! Maxwell also got this week a new fancy dress costume, a new Disney Car's bus, new cups and bibs and lots of little snacks which he loves.

For a while now Maxwell has learnt how to turn the TV on by pressing the buttons at the bottom. It is touch screen so it is very easy for him to turn on however this week he has learnt to use the remote to turn the TV on and off and change the channel! He is very clever.

Yesterday we had a lovely day out at the Kiddicare opening in Hedge End and Maxwell was treated to a lovely music session. He really enjoyed himself and had great fun charging around. He loved shaking his maracas. Thank you to Maraca Jacks for a lovely time!

Maxwell has been speaking a lot more. Although he is unable to actually speak words he loves to try and chatter away in his own language. This week Maxwell has been using objects. He puts them up to his ear and pretends to talk to people.
