Speed Demon

Max has been honing his own, personal crawling style, and has finally achieved long-dreamed-of mobility. He has very long, flexible toes, and he puts them to good use when he crawls. He digs them into the carpet, curls them under for grip, and then uses his elbows to scrabble along. This is a more efficient technique than it sounds -- he can get into all sorts of far-reaching mischief in the thirty-five seconds it takes me to pee.

See the slight blur in this photo? That's because he is too fast for the camera. He's like lightning! (He's like a kind of lightning that sometimes moves backwards or sideways accidentally, and that often would prefer to be carried by passing storm clouds, but there is some lightning like that. Yes, there is. You don't know.)
