~~~Max is 1~~~

Is that not the cutest little face you have ever seen?
He was LovIn' the birthday cake!
There is Grandma Tami with Grandpa in the background....so glad he made it!
Oh yeah life is good! OK so that is all of the pictures I have of his birthday...I don't know what happened. I had dinner (spaghetti if you couldn't tell:) for everyone before the party and I guess I was so busy I didn't pick up the camera enough.....sorry Max! I did get some video of him eating his cake though. Oh and the story with his presents.....When we got done watching him eat his cake, we found the Addi and Ava in my room with all of his presents opened!! Third children are so neglected.....he was happy just playing with the wrapping paper though!



Max has been such a fun happy-go-lucky kid. He has such a good temperament and is always smiling and happy. I love how he is just learning how to walk and I will have him standing up next to something trying to coax him into taking a step and he just stands there and laughs so hard that he falls over.....and then we do that over and over. Now he just thinks I stand him up so he can laugh. Oh well, we just sit and laugh at him. I love it how he is so excited to see me in the morning. When I go in to get him he will start laughing and jumping up and down. He is also in love with being outside, which is not a great thing because we have NO yard. So we either play on the neighbors lawn which we do quite regularly or we play in and eat the dirt! When will he learn that it doesn't taste good? He recently figured out how to open my doors, and I would catch him trying to escape outside....I have that on video too.



His first word was "Ad-di", now he is also saying "hi Addi" and "hi Daddy" when we see him on the computer. He loves to talk to dad and gets so excited and just wants to kiss the screen the whole time. He loves Stella and he will crawl over to the patio doors and talk to her through he glass. He also loves to see the horses in our back field and when we go to my parents he just stares at all of the animals in my dads den and says "whas-at" and points to them. The last thing I wanted to add about this little guy that is so cute is when he is in his chair anticipating getting food. Well he is just starting to like to do everyting by himself and when I actually give him the food he looks at me for a minute and then looks at the food then looks back at me and giggles like "I can't believe she just gave me this, I am going to make such a mess" then he proceeds to make a huge mess...kinda like this :)

You are such a fun little boy Max, we love you!
