Left to his own devices.....

Max is having so much fun exploring his new surroundings. It'll probably be a couple of months before we see him walking, but what he gets into just by crawling around!
Just the other day I was in my office, and suddenly heard a cacophony of Dave Brubeck's Quartet blaring from our living room as if they were performing a live concert right in our very own house.
Sure enough, I go to the source of sound and find Max with iDock remote in his hand, bouncing up and down, quite proud of the fact he figured out how to work this musical mystery.
Today, again in my office and what do I hear but the familiar ker-plonk of water in our toilet bowl, with horror and a certain amount of amusement, I find Max standing over the toilet seat looking into the water to find the family heirloom silver bell (it was Billy's as a child) at the bottom of bowl. At least he didn't try to stuff his favourite friend 'Doggie Dog' into the bowl as a certain young Simon did with his 'Mr. Bobo'.
Now I don't have Billy to blame when my phone or lipstick goes missing, if I just try to think of the oddest place it might be (said lipstick in the toy box) than I know Max is up to his usual tricks and keeping me on my toes!
