Bouncers and walks

Yesterday was the first lovely day we've had in a while. I had two grumpy men on my hands though, max was still a bit poorly and dave was tired and grumpy. Personally I think he needs to man up, but either way I ended up cleaning the house whilst they both kipped on the sofa. I don't mind cleaning so much when it's sunny and the patio doors are open - I actually find it therapeutic. I'm such a sad freak. Can't believe my life has come to this!!! 

Once the grumpy ones awoke it was like feeding time at the zoo - dave with his sandwiches and max wolfing down his bottle. Earlier on we'd bought max a door bouncer, but he'd been too tired to use it! He absolutely loves being on his feet. He used to love being bounced but his walking reflex has kicked in and if you stand him on your knees now he walks all the way up your stomach - a nice squishy mountain if he's on me! 

He's always had a strong neck - he could hold it up for short periods of time from birth so I felt happy and comfortable strapping him into the bouncer we got from mothercare. He was smiling immediately without even moving - probably as he felt like he was standing on his own! We tried to encourage him to bounce but he just wanted to walk and ended up hopping from one foot to the other! We thought it was hilarious - he looked like a little puppet! I'm sure he'll work it out eventually!
After about 10 minutes of bouncing (or half bouncing!) we decided to go for a walk. We're so blessed with beautiful paths and parks around us so we try and go to a different one each time. It was lovely to get out and the sun shone until we got home at half 6!

I hope you're all enjoying the sunshine :)
